A rare Italian bakery in Tokyo

Japanese bread is quite famous, so there are a lot of foreigner visitors who try Japanese, French or American bread, when they come to Japan. There are so many bakeries in Japan, from chain stores to famous private shops, all kinds of bakery. But a bakery specializing in Italian bread is rather rare. Italian bread is not the same as you usually eat, not like Japanese bread with a wide range of tastes such as red bean bread or curry bread, not the same as the American bread with lots of sugar or honey. Italian bread is very simple, only with a taste of a little salt, and goes well with various dishes when dipped in olive oil. In Italy bread is a staple, while Japanese and American bread is like snack.

Virtually the same as real Italian bread

The greatness of the bread here is that it is the same as the bread made entirely in Italy, except for the water and air. From imported flour from a Italian famous flour producer, by using skills produced in Italy, artisans who studied in Italy are making Italian bread carefully by hand. Therefore, it can be said that it is closest to the real Italian bread. In addition to bread, they are also making fresh Italian past from flour imported from Italy.

Even the famous restaurants with stars are selecting the bread here

Its deliciousness is recognized by lots of authorities, Ms.Asako Kishi, one of the most famous cook critics in japan, introduced this bread at her book "Italian diary" and Mr.Yukio Ishizaki, a famous Italian chef, also recommends this bread. The restaurants in five star hotels such as the Ritz-Carlton, the Shangri-La and the Aman hotel, and Michelin starred restaurants, are selecting this bread, regardless of whether they have French or Italian cuisine. It has also been introduced at Italian events at Isetan and Hankyu department store as well. In addition, this bread has selected for official events at the Italian Embassy.

Available from the Rakuten internet shop as well

Even through you are not in Tokyo, this is available on Rakuten, where you can purchase frozen Italian bread. It may be surprising to hear that it is frozen, but even if you thaw it naturally or thaw it in a microwave oven, the taste remains the same. Texture is important to taste Italian bread, but it is most important to feel the sweetness of the flour as it is chewed. Even when it is frozen, because it uses Italian flour, the moisture and texture remain. If you want to try it, please try purchasing it at the shop or on Rakuten: it is cheaper than trying it at fine restaurants!
