Bakery's Signboard Menu
"Smile Croissant"
The most popular bread of the shop is the "Smile Croissant" named after the shop. Croissants are generally shaped like a crescent moon, but this one is perfectly round! In fact, this shape is said to be based on the spiral-shaped “Supreme Croissant,” which is popular in New York.
"To Smile" is also characterized by three types of icing: "chocolate", "strawberry" and "pistachio".
Among them, the most popular among women is “pistachio”. The thickness is also a new style. They use fermented butter, and it takes three days to finish.
The inside is filled with fresh cream made with Italian pistachios, giving it a smooth texture and a faint scent of pistachios. It seems that the cream of the authentic "Supreme Croissant" is firm, but the cream of "To smile" is soft. The dough also has a firm bite.
Strawberry flavor, which is widely popular next to pistachios. A popular product that sells out at the same time as pistachios, from children to adults.
The chocolate filled with exclusive chocolate cream is also a must-have for chocolate lovers.
The smile croissant takes 3 days from dough to fermentation and baking, so the number is limited to 100 per day (ends when sold out). If it is early, it will be sold out by noon, so if you are interested, please aim for an early time.
Also, there are currently only 3 types, but there are plans to add more types in the future, so please look forward to what flavors will appear!
Breads Made by an Italian Chef is also a Must-try!
Famous Side Dish Breads
In addition, the side dish bread is also full of originality. It may be closer to a meal than bread. That's no wonder, because the Italian store manager bakes it, so even one single bread is enough to satisfy you.
We asked the store manager to select 5 recommended items!
The tartar sauce is also handmade! "Fushimi Shrimp Fried Dog"
First of all, this "Fushimi shrimp fried dog"! Is fried shrimp bigger than bread? ! The tartar sauce with lots of ingredients is also handmade, and the compatibility is perfect.
So Filling! "Homemade Tartar Chicken Nanban Sandwich"
"Homemade tartar chicken nanban sandwich" is so large that it sticks out of the bread. Chicken nanban and tartar sauce sandwiched between whole wheat bread, accented with purple cabbage.
"Curry bread" with plenty of thick beef
Next is "curry bread". The thin, crispy batter contains chunky, bite-sized beefs inside, just like eating curry. Freshly baked is even more delicious!
"Salt butter bread" with an irresistible chewy texture
The simple salt butter bread is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. A timeless bread where you can enjoy the flavor of salt and butter sprinkled on top.
"Cinnamon roll" directly from the French chef
"Cinnamon roll" directly from the French chef. A collaboration of light cream cheese and flavorful cinnamon, this bread is for those who love cinnamon.
Another popular item is the Hakata Mentaiko and Dashi Rolled Egg Sandwich (410 yen). By the way, the sauce used for the bread in the shop is all original, and it is devised so that it does not stain the bread. Even after a long time, it does not become soggy, so the original deliciousness of the bread is preserved.
