About this place
Should you go for shokupan, or pick out a few sweet buns? At Kuwae Bakers, the choice can start with whatever you’re in the mood for that day. One customer who bought yudane shokupan remembered its fragrant, crisp crust and a fluffy, chewy interior. Another found the crust substantial and the inside moist and soft, with only a little sweetness. Cut into thick slices and toasted, it should offer a pleasing contrast between the lightly browned crust and the tender middle. The range also includes raisin bread and pain de mie, giving you options to go with a meal. One visitor reported that the raisin shokupan had sold out, so if you have a particular loaf in mind, it may be worth checking what’s available that day.
For something sweet, the popular custard bun is a natural choice. One customer described its chewy, square-shaped dough and generous filling of custard; another praised how satisfyingly full of cream it was. Anpan, apricot chocolate and noix chocolat are also on the menu, making it easy to pair a rich custard bun with a bread featuring red bean paste or chocolate. For a hint of saltiness alongside the sweetness, try an anpan with butter or the bagel with anko butter. The latter is described as combining chunky red bean paste and butter with cream cheese containing azuki beans, and may appeal to anyone after a chewy bagel. Focaccia comes in lemon and salt varieties, while one customer said they would happily have the chocolate focaccia again. Savoury choices such as croquette bread, croque monsieur and sandwiches make the selection well suited to breakfast or a light lunch, too.
A customer who tried the doughnuts singled out their moist texture and the way the sugar melts in the mouth. They’re an easy extra to add whether you’re choosing several kinds of bread or simply want to take home a sweet treat. There is no dine-in option, but takeaway is available. The bakery is in Abenomotomachi, Abeno Ward, Osaka. Hours are 7:30–19:00 Tuesday to Friday and 7:00–18:00 on Saturday; it is closed on Sunday and Monday.
