Have you ever seen bread in a cake shop, mixed with baked goods on the showcase or on the shelves, and nestled quietly? For example, croissants ... Croissants are very popular in bakeries, but when they are lined up with colorful and gorgeous cakes, they suddenly become inconspicuous.


However, if cakes and baked goods are delicious, bread should definitely be delicious! Convinced that, the En-eating editorial department bought bread at four popular cake shops in Jiyugaoka, a fierce battleground for cakes. I will tell you the taste.

■ I tried bread from 4 popular cake shops in Jiyugaoka

I bought four items: croissants from Jiyugaoka's cake shops "Mont St. Clair" and "Dalloyau", croissants from "Patisserie Paris Seveille", and cream horns from "Mozart".


◆ Part 1: Mont St. Clair

A popular restaurant owned by pastry chef Hironobu Tsujiguchi. Even on weekdays, there are people waiting for the opening.


I got a croissant (220 yen). It features an even brown color and a well-organized shape.


The cross section is very fine.


When it bites, the dough is crushed and the mellow butter scent that fills the gaps in the dough overflows. Inside the crispy thin skin, there is a soft and delicate fabric that makes you hesitate to chew. When you chew it slowly, you will instantly melt it while sprinkling the richness of butter and the sweetness of wheat, and you will fall into that familiar feeling of cake, "Oh, it's gone ... another bite."

At the end where the dough is condensed, there is a chewy texture in addition to the taste of juicy butter, and it is also exceptional.


It was a croissant that made you feel the delicacy of a cake.

◆ Part 2: Dalloyau

Macaroons and cakes are popular at stores such as the basement of department stores from France. Jiyugaoka has a roadside store with a wide variety of bread and delicatessen items.


I bought a croissant (205 yen), which is a combination directly from the main store in Paris. The savory burnt skin is appetizing.


The fabric, which is thin enough to be seen through, is layered like rose petals.


The crispy skin is fragrant and thick, making a vivid contrast with the soft fabric. Each time you chew, butter oozes out from each layer of dough, and the richness you feel with your tongue and the scent that comes out of your nose brings happiness to your brain. From the middle stage, the taste of wheat is added, and it evolves into a bold taste.


◆ Part 3: Patisserie Paris Seveille

The store is especially rich in chocolate cakes and has many strong fans.


Immediately after the store opened, the croissants were not baked, so I bought a croissant damand (265 yen).


Croissant Damand is a sweet croissant baked with almond cream. The dough is flat soaked in syrup, jam is sandwiched between them, and the taste varies depending on the store.

This croissant damand retains the shape of the croissant but has a generously sweet filling in the dough, giving it a heavy weight. The surface is adorned with toasted almond cream and almond slices.


First of all, the sweet scent of Western liquor is fluffy from the dough with the filling. Then, it loosens in your mouth and makes you feel as if your body was immersed in Western liquor. It has a strong sweetness and a rich filling, but when combined with the surrounding chewy dough, it has a well-balanced taste. The skin is fragrant and you can enjoy the croissant.

The almond slices on the surface have a strong almond flavor even if they are thin. Along with almond cream with a cookie-like texture, it is an accent to the taste and texture.


It was a croissant damand with a deep taste, where the taste of each part stands out clearly and creates harmony.

◆ Part 4: Mozart

Mozart, a cake and bread specialty store in front of the station. There is a wide variety of cakes and breads, and the prices are reasonable. Facing the sidewalk like a shop, you can feel the depth of the cake culture in Jiyugaoka.


Here, I bought a cream horn (150 yen) with cream wrapped in pie crust.


The custard cream is wrapped in a tubular dough.


The thin layer of puff pastry catches the teeth tightly, crushes them into small pieces, and dissolves in the cream. The cream is modest in sweetness. Unlike the sticky and sweet cream that you imagine in a cream bun, it melts elegantly and smoothly.

A dish that is not too sweet and has a casual price that makes you want to eat it every day.

■ Summary

All the breads in the cake shop were more delicate than those in the bakery shop. In addition, while the filling and cream show the high quality unique to a cake shop, the price is almost the same as a general bakery, and there is also a good deal. Bread is also delicious at a popular cake shop. If you see bread at your favorite cake store, you should give it a try and it's worth it. (* All listed prices include tax)
