Japanese bakeries in Tokyo

Ginza Kimuraya

Ginza Kimuraya is known as the oldest bakery in Japan was founded in 1869 by a samurai named Kimuraya who had lost his job during the restoration of the Meiji era (1868-1912). Legend says he was inspired by the recipes of a baker he had met who had worked for a Dutch resident in Nagasaki. Kimuraya invented the famous sakadane yeast, which made and still makes the reputation of the House, as do anpan, a combination of anko (red bean paste) and soft bread dough. Today, the Ginza Kimuraya bakery offers 150 different kinds of bread, all baked on-site.

The bakery is on the ground floor while the first floor is a tea room and the third and fourth floors are a restaurant. A good address to feel in Tokyo as in the last centuries.
