A body with a colon in the eyes. Cute "penguins bread" is on sale at "Panya's Pingouin" in Sangenjaya, Tokyo.

The store is a renewal of Sangenjaya's historic bakery "Seyodou". In addition to traditional bread, "Pingouin", which is also in the store name, is on sale.


Pingouin is a bread with custard cream in a black dough that imitates a penguins. The price is 220 yen (tax included, same below).


The dough is soft and fluffy. The eyes and tummy are crispy like cookie dough, giving it a nice texture.

There is plenty of rich custard cream in the dough. The cocoa-flavored dough enhances the mellow taste of the cream. It's moderately sweet, and it's delicious that both children and adults will smile when they eat it.


Pingouin, which has a cute pink color, is a strawberry-flavored dough. There is chocolate cream inside. The price is 220 yen.


The strawberry-flavored fluffy dough and the sticky chocolate cream go great together. You can enjoy the sweetness of rich chocolate. It's small but satisfying, so it's perfect for a snack at 3 o'clock.


In addition, various flavors of Pingouin appear in each season. When I visited the shop in late April, I met Matcha and cherry blossom pingouin.


Matcha pingouin is a bread made by wrapping matcha dough with tamaro and mochi. The price is 250 yen.

From the first bite, the flavor of fragrant tea spreads. The astringency that you can feel a little in the sweetness is also ◎. You can enjoy a deep taste like the condensed flavor of tea.


Sakura Pingouin is a bread made by wrapping sakura-flavored dough with rice cakes and rice cakes (sold until the end of April). It is a cute item with glittering eyes and cherry blossom decoration. The price is 240 yen.

Not only the appearance but also the taste is very satisfying. The elegant sweetness of koshigyo and the flavor of cherry blossoms are the best match. Combined with the moist texture of the dough, you can enjoy it as if you were eating Japanese sweets even though it is bread.


Pingouins are so cute that it's a waste to eat them. Not only can you enjoy it yourself, but you can also enjoy it as a souvenir.
