365 ~ Neighborhood bakery and beyond



There is a fine quality neighborhood bakery called 365日, 365 nichi means 365 days in Japanese, located near Yoyogi koen station, Tokyo.  Japanese bakeries sometimes appears like a fine boutique or jewelry shop in terms of display, and this one as well.  Looking through the show window, big big window, there are freshly baked breads facing us.  They are beautifully organized and completely in order.  It is funny to say "breads are in order", but there are no other words can be found at the first look at the shelf through the window.  They are coordinate very well i line and have exactly in same shape, which is just amazing.


There are show cases which store freshly baked breads, and customers are pointing at ones they want to let the crews pick up for them.  
Right behind the show case, there are a bar counter to have your breads purchased with one drink order.  They serve 2 kinds of coffee here: their original blends by CAFE FACON, and their original by the roster on their own.  The owner of this bakery opens new cafe near by, then start roasting on his own.  Both of coffee goes well with their sweet breads.



Besides all the detail of this fashionable appearance and price, 365 days may fulfill your cravings for fine quality.  Their croissant tastes moderately salted enhances butter flavor, but not buttery nor oily.  Thin and delicate layers gives crispiness, but melting feeling once it touches a tongue.  Sweets breads, Danish pastries, also made with quite gentle sweetness and adequate sizes.  They prove that people satisfies with quality of fine ingredients, not the size.  



Their breads are very small even compares to other bakeries in Tokyo and high in price, so you may surprise for the first visit.  Even if you are surprised by the price, it is better choice for you to overcome the feeling and choose simple breads together with one sweet bread.  They will confirm you that there are world class arty boulangeries hidden in the neighborhood of this country together with the finest quality ingredients producers.
