Gifu-based bread maker Komugiya Co., Ltd. opened its third store, ESPRIT Nagoya, in June last year.

Esprit's breads are all healthy breads for the body, made with Komugi's idea of "eating and becoming healthy" in mind. With carefully selected ingredients and ingenuity in the process of deliciousness, there are exquisite breads that can only be tasted here.

This time, we will introduce the charm of the esprit that is unique to the Nagoya store, including morning breakfast.

A new whirlwind in the bread industry!
Harmonious chaotic shop

A new style bakery cafe where you can enjoy not only freshly baked bread but also morning breakfast, lunch and dinner, sweets and alcoholic beverages.

You can enjoy expert cuisine prepared by masters, pastry chefs, chefs, and sommeliers who have the spirit.

With Esprit's character as its foundation, Esprit Nagoya is a high-profile store that changes to meet needs and takes on a variety of new challenges.

Symbolic space of Sakae・Hisaya Odori Park TV tower area east

Just a 1-minute walk from Hisaya-odori Subway Station! It is located right in front of the GATE "3B" exit of Central Park.

It is on the 1st floor of "Urbannet Nagoya Next Building" which was born in February last year.

We asked Mr. Manabu Yoshimura, the owner chef of Esprit and CEO of Komugiya Co., Ltd., about the concept of the Nagoya store.

Mr. Yoshimura: "I think what is common to all of our stores is to create stores that are close to the community and that are unique to Esprit. First, we explore the story of the region and learn about its history, culture, local industries, lifestyle, etc., before coming up with a concept, so we take the most time before coming up with a concept.

​The Nagara store in Gifu is designed with the image of a bread museum, and the Kagamigahara store is a playful store that children can experience. We create exciting stores that match the location.

The Nagoya store is thinking of trying various things as a base for transmitting new movements. ”

Urban and sophisticated space filled with attention to detail

Depending on the season and the time of day, the scenery reflected on the glass walls turns into art.

If you look closely, can you see the Chubu Electric MIRAI TOWER (former Nagoya TV Tower) reflected in it? You can enjoy a coffee break while looking up at the tower.

When using the café, reserve a seat and place your order at the cash register near the entrance. Purchases of bread, cakes, and other items that can be taken out are handled at the cash register in the back.

A space that is somewhat soothing with a fusion of urban and stylish New York style and retro Brooklyn style.

Mr. Yoshimura: "Since many people in Nagoya use the subway to walk around, we chose comfortable chairs to make the place cozy. We want it to be a place anyone can easily visit and enjoy."

Mr. Yoshimura: "I want our staff to always have a spirit of trial and error, and to challenge what they think is good. I also want our customers to enjoy the evolving Esprit."

One of Esprit's charms is that you can see how the bread is formed and baked up close.

There is also a terrace and counter seating, making it easy to stop by for shopping, business, or just to walk your pet.

A wonderful start to the day.
An elegant morning breakfast with the finest freshly baked bread!

morning breakfast with freshly baked bread and everything that comes with it. No matter which one you choose!

Exquisite morning breakfast that is fun to choose

Breakfast plate 1,180 yen (8:00-11:00)

You can choose from three bread and meat products and two egg dishes for "Breakfast Plate".

We chose hot coffee, pretzels, sausages, and fried eggs. We also recommend choosing liver käse instead of sausage to enjoy German soul food.

pretzels, a bread of German origin, is eye-catching with its glossy brown baking color and shape. The thin part is crispy and savory like a pastry, while the thicker part is chewy inside, giving it a double texture.

The best time to eat it is freshly baked, so be sure to enjoy the best taste in morning breakfast. The rock salt gives it a punch, and it's so delicious you can't stop eating it.

A super-delicious giant sausage with a crisp texture and packed with the umami of pork. Moderate black pepper and saltiness are also exquisite. It is also used in the popular product "Focaccia Dog", which is limited to the Nagoya store.

Rich new texture & new sensation! Premium French Toast

Brioche French Toast ¥1,180 (8:00-16:30)

The Brioche French Toast is served with maple syrup and mascarpone saree cream for an even more luxurious experience.

One bite and you are sure to swoon in agony! The crispy and fluffy dough melts comfortably in your mouth, and the taste overturns the concept of standard French toast. The double topping of syrup and cream creates an enchanting harmony of sweet and salty.

It does not lose its shape even when cooled, and has a happy texture that is crispy, moist, and tender! The taste of the dough alone is satisfying enough, and it tastes like a cake with pudding in it, just like a Western confectionery.

And on special days...

It would be nice to enjoy a reward morning breakfast with the "Luxury brunch plate".

Choose your favorite bread and enjoy eating in!

If it's early in the morning, the popular brioche and sandwiches are available.

The bread corner, which was small when the restaurant opened, is growing in variety with each passing hour as more bread is baked. Enjoy a light breakfast with your favorite bread and drink.

A drink menu with a wide variety of coffees and alcoholic beverages. If you want to enjoy the season, we recommend a limited-time drink. Hot coffee with free refills will give you a great deal.

It is also attractive that there is a steam toaster and detox water in the self corner.

If you rebake it with a steam toaster, it will always be freshly baked!

Carefully Selected Ingredients & Special Production Methods
Delicious healthy bread with the same source of medicine and food

Mr. Yoshimura: "At Esprit, with the motto of 'making bread that makes you smile when you eat it', we take in good things right away, always pursue deliciousness, and it is important to make your body happy when you eat it.

The bread is fermented and aged for a long time, utilizing the power of various homemade natural starter such as hops, raisin, sour, and levain seeds, as well as wheat enzymes. This results in a bread that is easy on the body and easy to digest, as it becomes more hydrated with the flour.

In addition, it brings out the original sweetness and umami of the wheat, and makes use of the rich aroma and taste of the yeast, creating a taste that is unique to Esprit. ”

A blissful moment surrounded by the aroma of freshly baked bread

There are 50 to 70 types of bread, ranging from soft to hard, side dish bread, sweet bread, and more. The refrigerated corner is filled with sandwiches, delis, and sweets.

Sandwiches made according to the type of ingredients and bread are a gathering of the best of the best. The sandwiches, made even tastier through collaboration, are a satisfying array of gems.

This "long sausage" is also a popular product. The appearance of the sausage in a long, thin, perfectly-fitted bag is kind of cool and makes me want to carry it around with me (laughs).

Ingredients are also written on the price card, so people with allergies can buy with confidence.

At around 11:00, when the first batch of bread comes out, customers line up to get the freshly baked bread they want. Even if you arrange bread one after another from the workshop, it will be gone soon.

The smell of freshly baked bread spreads throughout the store, and the feeling of happiness is at its peak!

Esprit is also very popular for lunch (11:30-16:30). The bread that comes with lunch is all-you-can-eat, so you can eat a variety of breads to your heart's content.
