Bread from Yoshida Bread

Matsugasaki's [Yoshida Bread] is a blissful bread that makes your dishes stand out.

When you encounter delicious bread at a French, Italian, or bistro, you often hear the name "Yoshida Bread. Yoshida Bread is a wholesaler of bread to hotels and other restaurants in Kyoto and Tokyo. While many breads are just a garnish for dishes, the breads made by baker Yuji Yoshida have a rich flavor that complements the food. They go well with wine and play a supporting role in creating a blissful time.

From left to right, the moist and fluffy texture of the mountain meal is delicious not only as it is, but also toasted, with a distinctly savory flavor. Campagne made with natural yeast has a crispy outer layer and a sticky texture inside. Campagne: 1,890 yen per piece (1/2 cut: 950 yen, 1/4 cut: 480 yen)

At the age of 22, Mr. Yoshida trained at a bakery and hotel in Kyoto, and also honed his skills in Europe before setting up his own bakery at the age of 30. At that time, the bread in restaurants was not very good. The value of bread was low. But I realized that chefs were looking for good bread, and I realized there was a demand for it," he says. What was revolutionary was that instead of selling his own bread, he would produce and serve bread that matched the cuisine of individual restaurants. Bread that matches the chef's specialties accentuates the restaurant's cuisine. The bread gained a reputation for being appreciated by both chefs and customers.

[Yoshida Bread is famous for its campagnes and baguettes made with natural yeast. Yoshida pays careful attention to the seeds, pursues the compatibility of flour and seeds, and changes the combination of the two for each type of bread. To break the notion that natural yeast bread is sour or hard, the bread is carefully fermented with natural yeast and has a rich and deep flavor. As Mr. Yoshida says, "Hard breads are the most popular among the elderly." Both campagnes and baguettes have a crispy crust and soft texture. Yoshida-san's desire to let more people know the depth of such breads, and the encouragement of customers seeking the coveted breads that were only available at restaurants, led to the long-awaited opening of a sales outlet in Matsukezaki in 2017.
