Introducing the chef's recommended bread!

No. 1 in popularity! The secret "Curry Bread" 

"Curry bread (T320 yen, E326 yen)"

Great mouthfeel! A masterpiece bread with plenty of rich and mellow curry roux on a chewy, sweet dough. Once you eat it, you will be addicted to it and will eat many. You can enjoy it anywhere as it is delicious not only when it is freshly fried, but also when it is cold.

*T: Take-out E: Eat-in

"Baguette half," Just the right size to compare

Bottom: "Domestic wheat baguette half/T160 yen, E165 yen", Top: "Baguette half baguette/T205 yen, E210 yen"

A simple baguette that lets you experience the original taste of wheat. “Domestic Wheat Baguette” has a crisp texture and the sweetness and umami of the wheat spreads as you chew. The “Baguette ESPRIT”, which uses 100% organic spelled wheat (an ancient grain that is the original type of wheat), is chewy and has a unique richness and flavor that is unique to the original.

When re-baking, it is recommended to cut the baguette so that the bottom part is connected, like a bellows cut. When we actually tried it, we were surprised at how delicious it was! It was also nice to be able to crack open just the amount we were going to eat.

"An Butter", Esprit's Japanese and Western blending with confidence

"An butter / T250 yen, E255 yen"

The red beans from Mt. Yotei in Hokkaido are used to create a light, elegant sweetness, and the saltiness of the rich butter, balanced with the texture and flavor of the special baguette, makes this the perfect rewarding sweet treat.

A famous combination that brings out the deliciousness of the ingredients "Espridock"

"Espritdock / T324 yen, E330 yen"

A giant sausage sautéed to perfection with the shrippe, which highlights the deliciousness of the wheat. An irresistible gem with a faint garlic flavor and juicy umami that spreads in your mouth.

"Mozzarella" that is in a good mood with cheese on and in soft chewy dough

"Mozzarella (T324 yen, E330 yen)"

The fluffy, chewy focaccia kneaded with plenty of potatoes and topped with mozzarella cheese is baked to perfection, creating an exquisite aroma on the surface and a delicious taste with the four kinds of cheese inside.

One and only! "Whole Grain Cinnamon Roll" only available in Esprit

"Whole grain cinnamon roll / T300 yen, E305 yen"

Whole wheat healthy cinnamon rolls topped with cream cheese. The fluffy dough and firm sweet bread are just sweets.

Elegantly fragrant "Royal Milk Tea"

"Royal milk tea / T380 yen, E387 yen"

The mellow Earl Grey aroma wafts through the air before you even taste it. The moist and chewy dough is filled with nuts, and is a must-have for tea lovers who can enjoy both the texture and the aftertaste.

"Wheat bran muffins" with a deep flavor that is addictive

"Wheat bran muffin / T410 yen, E420 yen"

The muffins are melt-in-your-mouth, with the rich flavor of Japanese wheat bran accented with sour cherries and lemon peel.

Fusuma, which is full of dietary fiber, is the bran part of wheat. These muffins have outstanding beauty and health benefits.

Full volume! Fresh salad is also very popular morning breakfast!

Two types of weekday morning breakfast

The morning breakfast set, available for order from 10am to 2pm on weekdays, is also very popular as lunch.

The menu says 5-6 kinds of bread for B set, but now it is served with 7-8 kinds of bread. They have increased the volume without changing the original price.

Oven toaster and lemon water in the self corner

If you rebake the bread with a steam toaster, the taste of freshly baked bread will be restored even if it is cold!

There are plenty of thoughtful services here and there, such as free Wi-Fi available.

Morning breakfast B set (hot coffee)" of daily bread 860 yen

The "B Set" is outstanding in terms of visuals and volume. The variety of bread selections, including simple bread, quiche and other side dishes, and dessert bread, is exciting even before you eat. In fact, all the breads are delicious, and the happiness of being able to taste a variety of breads little by little makes you feel full.

Drinks with full service!

Hot coffee that can be refilled with in-store use

Hot coffee has a fresh and gentle taste that even people who don't like coffee can drink. It's very easy to drink and it's delicious that you want to drink many cups.

And when you order hot coffee, you will be handed a notice board.

You can have a second helping and even take out! This service was too nice, so I asked again (laughs)

After about 15 to 20 minutes, the staff will call out to you. You can drink hot coffee at the right time.

It's cozy and we can see it gaining more and more fans.

Also pay attention to the limited-time special menu posted near the cash register.

Just by looking at the pop, you can tell it's delicious! We also recommend the parfait and drinks made with strawberries picked in the morning from Sakai Farm! The period and quantity are limited, so be sure to check here. You can enjoy Shine Muscat in autumn.

 

A new challenge! Delicious breads for different scenes

At the end of June 2022, "Esprit Nagoya," a bakery where yo can drink alcohol, will open in Sakae. This new bakery-cafe will also serve wine, champagne, and other alcoholic beverages. The bread flavor will change for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and customers will be able to enjoy breads, sweets, and dishes that can only be tasted at that time.

There are other groundbreaking attempts, and we can't wait for the opening.

Esprit continues to evolve day by day. It is such a bakery that is not only healthy and delicious, but also refreshing just by visiting.

Why don't you spend a happy time with Esprit's bread that makes you smile when you eat it?
