  • Great bread, but the queues can be ridiculously long on occasion. Dramatically increase your shop space, please!

  • This is some good bread. It’s certainly more expensive than the six slices of white blob you can get at the supermarket, but it’s worth it.

    I’ve never understood why most of the bread in Japan is so soft. No matter what I buy, it almost invariably is a soft and spongy version of bread that should have been heavy, crusty or solid.

    Dominique Saibron is obviously not afraid to sell bread that is for the most part heavy and crusty, and I love it. I tried his famous baguette (340 yen), a cereal bread and a Pan de Siegle (680 yen), which was a dark loaf, and all were superb. With butter, even better.

    On different occasions I had chocolate croissants straight from the oven (240 yen) and escargots with cinnamon and pistachios, and both were baked to a dark brown that drew a lot of flavor.

    My main complaint is the long line to get in...you have to wait at least 30-40 minutes these days to make it in. On the other hand, I found out last time that you can call ahead, make a reservation and pick up the bread at a specified time.
