A new store of the bakery cafe "CAFE & BAKERY MIYABI", which sells high-class Danish bread "MIYABI", opened today (November 6th) in Jimbocho, Tokyo. This is the second store in Tokyo following the Asakusabashi store in Tokyo,which opened in April this year (see the Tasting report for honey toast, etc.).


The highlight of the Jimbocho store is the "freshly baked" Miyabi bread that cannot be purchased at other stores (6 times a day, limited to 12 bottles each time). In addition, 16 new products such as sweet bread and side dish bread using the dough of Miyabi bread will be introduced ahead of other stores. Examples of the lineup include "MIYABI Apple Danish with Custard", "Koshianpan", and "Bacon Cheese".


What would happen if the delicious Miyabi bread that was eaten as it was, with custard and red bean paste on its side? The eating editorial department, which has no choice but to be worried, infiltrates the shop before opening. In addition to freshly baked Miyabi bread, I was allowed to sample a number of new products!

■ Meet freshly baked Miyabi bread!

According to the shop, Miyabi bread has a calmer and tastier taste than freshly baked bread 2-3 hours after it is baked. Even so, it was decided to release it in response to the customer's voice saying "I want to eat freshly baked!".


Miyabi bread freshly taken out of the oven. If you break the mass along the cracks in the skin,


The fiber-like fabric stretches. It's like mochi.


When I put it in my mouth, the skin was crispy and crisp. It has a delicate texture like the surface of a croissant, not the hardness of ordinary bread ears.

On the other hand, the contents are soft and unreliable. It's a little elastic when chewed, and it's more like a Chinese steamed bun than bread. The sweetness and richness of butter that are typical of Miyabi bread are not felt so much.


However, the dough that steams in your mouth gives you a feeling of happiness as if you were holding your baby in your arms. This should be experienced once and not a loss!

…… And, it is said that Miyabi bread is the most delicious, 2-3 hours after baking. I peeled the dough from the lump and ate it. Then, the skin is crispy and the contents are moist and moist without toasting. The richness and flavor of butter and eggs, with a slight sweetness. The well-balanced and moderate taste is just the finished product. I couldn't stop squeezing the bread because of the deliciousness that left behind, and as a result, I finished eating about half of the 1.5 loaves at a time.

The best way to eat freshly baked Miyabi bread is to pluck it in chunks by hand 2-3 hours after baking. Isn't this this? The moist and soft texture that you feel at your fingertips is unique to freshly baked products. Why don't you try talking with the dough with your own hands, without putting in ingenious things such as kitchen knives. The price of freshly baked Miyabi bread is 799 yen (1.5 loaf size, tax included).

■ Miyabi dough bread is also available one after another

Here are some of the new products that use Miyabi fabric that I was interested in. Some feel the taste of Miyabi bread, while others are completely different.

◆ MIYABI Chocolat Cube 250 yen (tax included, same below)

Chocolat flavor of "MIYABI Cube Danish" which is popular in other stores. Drop-shaped chocolate is put in Miyabi dough kneaded with cocoa etc. and baked into a cube. The chocolate is from France and is bitter with 50% cocoa mass.


The surface is crispy and the inside is fluffy. Bitter chocolate is combined with bittersweet dough, and the chocolate flavor is rich but the sweetness is modest. Chocolate bread for adults.


If you warm it lightly, the chocolate will soak into the dough with heat, and you can enjoy the moist taste.

◆ MIYABI Apple Danish with custard 200 yen

A pie-like Miyabi dough wrapped in apple preserving and custard cream.


Although the surface of the dough is crispy, the overlapping layers are tightly packed inside, making it feel chewy. The richness of butter and the slight sweetness give it the impression of Miyabi bread.

In the center is an apple preserving with a crispy texture and custard with a rich egg flavor. All of them have a low sweetness and are finished in a balance that does not spoil the taste of the dough.

◆ Koshianpan 180 yen

Use the Miyabi dough in the state before kneading butter and layering. There is red bean paste and butter cream inside.


The dough is fluffy and light on the palate. The sweet bean paste and the rich butter cream like custard gently invite the whole mouthfeel. When warmed, butter cream soaks into the dough, giving it a rich brioche-like taste.


◆ Bacon cheese 200 yen

Bacon and cheese wrapped in Miyabi dough similar to Koshianpan.


The thick and fluffy dough firmly holds the saltiness and umami of bacon and cheese. Accented with the spicy taste of pepper and the crispy texture of burnt cheese.

This type of fabric does not have the richness of Danish pastry. However, I enjoyed the simple taste of wheat and the deliciousness in harmony with the ingredients.
