About this place
Picking out a few small breads to make a lunch at home is one way to enjoy Kona no Mi in Hakozaki. Visitors have praised the dough’s sweetness and softness, as well as its moist texture, and noted the balance between the bread and its filling in the savoury options. One diner described the dough in the sausage bread as satisfyingly chewy: the more they chewed, the more they noticed the wheat’s flavour, while the sausage brought a pleasing richness.
The menu includes options for a meal or a snack, from fresh-cream and whole-wheat loaves to Kona no Mi anpan, house-made custard-cream bread and baked curry bread. Savoury choices include burdock salad bread and burdock kinpira with cheese bread, while cranberries, walnuts and cream cheese make a sweet-tangy combination. For a little variety, there is also a set of 5 mini breads.
There is more to enjoy than buying bread to take away: the shop also serves lunch. One diner reported that the main dishes on their visit were pork ginger and fried horse mackerel, accompanied by 8 small side dishes, dessert and coffee. Another described a roast beef bowl served with a colourful vegetable salad and onion soup. The reported lunches may appeal to anyone looking for a more substantial meal at a bakery.
Visitors say the selection left on display can vary from day to day, so arriving earlier may give you more to choose from. Whether you are taking home a few tempting breads or sitting down for lunch, there are different ways to enjoy this bakery.
