It'll be maybe in top five fantastic Boulangerie in this country so far.
Just try their freshly baked baguette without saying anything. Any complaints will be accepted if you have some.
Located near Shimogamo shrine, quiet and natural, Nakagawa Komugi-ten welcomes you with stimulating aroma of freshly baked bread together with beautiful heartwarming smile of Mr. & Mrs. Nakagawa. This bakery uses organic wheat and freshly milled flowers. They mill just exact amount of wheat to bake everyday so that flavor of breads has depth and sweetness.
It is often say that Kyoto is the place to enjoy Boulangerie, but there are no evidence to support that urban legend. Nakagawa komugi-ten is one of rare case so far to suggest maybe there are possibility to make Kyoto as the city for Bread lovers. Certainly, there are numbers of family bakeries in town. Some streets have a bakery every 10m, which is unusual density we see in other places like Osaka. They are not only OLD fashioned family bakery, but also very fashionable, cozy, artisan type, which carries often natural yeast or sour dough bread. Some of them says, "Learn Baking and pastry-making in France", "in Germany", or "in Belgique." Some also, "Trained famous XXXXX in Tokyo for XXyears." However, talented baker cannot be identified by the sing they carry. Wonderful taste can be improved by their enthusiasm to crate something impressive or to re-create the taste in their memory only with their talents and techniques. It is easy to understand this post when you visit this bakery.
