From a patisserie. An authentic bakery that blends into everyday life [point pour point] [Contributed article

Originally, point pour point was a patisserie. Eventually, the high quality of the bread gained a good reputation, and it was transformed into a patisserie and boulangerie, with the bakery now playing the main role.

Although I have some regrets that sweets I once wanted to try again are no longer sold without being eaten, as a bread lover, the expansion of the bakery is a welcome change. ......

It will soon be two years since the rebranding. I visited [point pour point] for their limited edition spring bread.

1.The bakery took center stage [point pour point].

point pour point] is located a short walk from Marutamachi Subway Station. The refreshing exterior with its light blue and white color scheme is a landmark.

The menu board at the front of the store carefully introduces recommended breads with photos, making you stop in your tracks.

It was just after noon on a weekday when I visited. A wide variety of breads were beautifully lined up in the spacious store with light streaming in through the large windows.

The lineup includes mainly hard breads, but also a selection of sweet breads that children will enjoy, making it a favorite for all generations.

Among the many popular breads, the gyokuro bread is recommended by the author, a lover of Japanese sweets. The melt-in-your-mouth gyokuro dough is filled with sweet red bean paste.

There are two types: chestnut and mascarpone, both of which are gems that bring out the individuality of the ingredients.

In the showcase in the back are large croissant sandwiches and glossy apple pies. Depending on the day, Danish bread with luxurious fruit may also be available.

Purchased sweets and breads can be enjoyed at the eat-in space in the back of the store.

2.The usual standard and the spring-only Yomogi Bread

Four types of bread were purchased this time. The marron glacé and rum raisin baton (280 yen) is a luxurious adult bread with a crisp, thin crust filled with sweet marrons and raisins. The salt bread (130 yen) is simple, but soaked with butter, and is also popular with children.

［Whenever I visit "point pour point," I always pick up the potato rustic (200 yen).

Once you taste it, you will not be able to forget its unforgettable sensation of moistness and "springiness". The slight saltiness of the crumb is gently overlaid with the aroma of rosemary, creating a simple yet profound taste.

The seasonal Yomogi and Dainagon (350 yen) was the highlight of the day. The crispy dough spreads the aroma of yomogi as you bite into it, as if it is made of yomogi rice cakes. It is a must-have for lovers of Japanese sweets.

While maintaining a high level of quality, [point pour point] also has a friendly atmosphere. If you like hard bread in particular, please visit us!
