This bakery is run by Ojima Shoten, a butcher and deli shop.

You can really taste the black sesame in the cream inside! It has a Japanese feel, but the sweet taste of the bread is well balanced with it, and anyone who loves black sesame should try it at least once.

・Old Fashioned Chocolate
Half of the old-fashioned donut is coated in chocolate. First, try the plain half, and you'll get a crisp, toasty bite with a nice egg aroma lingering in the finish. The chocolate is slightly bitter and brings out the toasted flavor of the dough.
