Perfect croissants, pastry and sourdough bread and also a wine bistro.When all of the sudden in the midst of Tokyo you will miss your perfect croissant in the morning. Started by the mind behind the L’Effervescence, Shinobu Namae, this is your gluten happy place in the rice country.

The Bakery shares space with a bistro with a nice selection of European natural wines - if you happen to stay for the afternoon .
