Tsukiji is a fish market. It is a popular spot where not only traders but also many tourists gather. This time, the En-eating editorial department got information that there is a bakery that offers bread using fish procured at the Tsukiji market. Fresh fish and fresh bread. I went to see what the taste of this surprisingly luxurious combination was!

■ I came to Orimine Bakers Kachidoki store
I went to "Orimine Bakers Kachidoki store". This is a store opened in November last year by Orimine Bakers, a bakery from Tsukiji. A 3-minute walk along the main street from Kachidoki Station, the white and green striped tent is a landmark.


The signboard is a huge bear bread! A nice idea that not only is cute, but you can tell that it is a bakery in one shot.


The spacious sales floor is lined with beautifully shaped bread. Perhaps because I visited after noon, there were some out-of-stock bread and a few leftovers.


However, while I was impatient, while I was looking at the sales floor, bread was baked one after another from the oven at the back of the store.




■ Eat fish bread procured in Tsukiji!
I bought "Saba Sand", "Focaccia Shirasu" and "Focaccia Iidako", which are made from seafood purchased in Tsukiji. In addition to this, there are a total of 5 items, including the "signboard" product "Kuma Bread" and the hard "walnut & white chijiku".

◆ Saba Sand (504 yen)
Originally, "Saba Sand" is a Turkish street food. Grilled mackerel, sliced onions, and sliced lemon are sandwiched between ciabatta dough bread.


Mackerel is plump and thick, and soft enough to loosen. Above all, the taste of the material itself is strong! The sourness of the crispy onions and sliced lemons enhances the umami. The chewy and fluffy ciabatta is soaked in the taste of mackerel, making it a sandwich that makes you feel happy as you chew.


◆ Focaccia Shirasu (298 yen)
"Focaccia shirasu" with plenty of shirasu. Below the shirasu is the bright green of perilla leaves.


Shirasu is not only on the surface but also in the dough. It's crispy on the surface, but moist inside.


The salty shirasu and cheese are wrapped in a soft and chewy focaccia dough for a moderately salty taste. The perilla has a refreshing scent, and the sesame has a savory accent.

◆ Focaccia Iidako (298 yen)
"Focaccia octopus" with octopus in red tomato sauce.


The plump and fresh octopus is chewy, has a large amount, and is full of volume. Although it is seasoned with spicy tomato sauce, you can feel the deliciousness of the octopus itself. The fluffy and chewy dough has an olive oil scent and goes well with tomato sauce. It is an Italian dish.

◆ Bear bread (123 yen)
This bear bread is not only cute but also has the ability. Since it was freshly baked, it is regrettable that wrinkles were carved under the right eye while moving.


It contains homemade custard cream.


The vanilla-scented custard cream is rich and full of egg. You can enjoy a moist mouthfeel with the fluffy dough. Kuma bread is popular with children because of its cute looks, but it is a high-quality cream bun that is sure to satisfy adults.

◆ Walnut & White Chijiku (278 yen)
There are many breads with Ichijiku, but I think it's rare to find one that imitates Ichijiku.


Inside is a whole white walnut.


The white chijiku boiled down with wine has a juicy and mature taste. The dough is a hard, tightly packed, chewy texture that gives you a solid wheat taste that is comparable to the rich sweetness of Ichijiku. With the addition of rich raw walnuts, it has a deep taste.

■ What kind of store is Orimine Bakers?
We interviewed Mr. Tanaka, the chief of all three Orimine Bakers stores and a baker.

◆ Why is it a bakery in Tsukiji?
Tsukiji is a fish market. I was told how I started a bakery in Tsukiji.

Eating: Why did you open a bakery in Tsukiji?

Mr. Tanaka: "Originally, there was" Orimine "as a packaging material company that makes oribako and chopsticks for Tsukiji stores. In expanding the range of products handled by Orimine, I started making bread wrapping materials. I thought, "Isn't it interesting to do a bakery in Tsukiji?" As a trial of wrapping materials, so "Orimine Bakers" was born. "



En-eating: Your business has expanded from packaging materials for Tsukiji to bread packaging materials and bakeries.

Mr. Tanaka: "Yes. As a bakery, we also have a lineup of bread made from seafood purchased at the market in order to bring out the local character of Tsukiji."

◆ Commitment to bread “I want to make something that I can recommend with confidence”
Olimine Bakers has many rare products such as fresh fish bread. I heard the reason and the commitment to making bread.

En-eating: You can see many unusual breads such as Iyokan rolls and apricot kernel bread. Is there any concept?

Mr. Tanaka: "When making interesting and unique things, we adopted" Japanese "and" Asia "that are imaged from the place called Tsukiji. Iyokan, red beans from Tokachi, strawberries in this season, etc. are domestically produced. I also actively use the ingredients of


Eating: Is there anything you are particular about when making bread?

Mr. Tanaka: "We want to make something that we can confidently recommend as" it's delicious. "We make curry and custard by hand, use as few additives as possible, and take the time to make polite bread. I keep in mind. "


Thank you, Mr. Tanaka!

Fresh seafood and fresh bread. Due to the strange combination of ingredients and dough, delicious foods that can be eaten separately were made even more delicious. Bread other than seafood is also a bit different because it takes time and effort. It was Orimine Bakers' bread that you can feel the motto "Bread that you can recommend with confidence" not only in the ingredients but also in the idea of bread.
