Loved the bread here! Was initially skeptical due to the viral videos, but one bite into the bread, i can see why it is so highly raved. The normal shiopan is flavourful and chewy, and all so buttery. Truffle is rich and not too overpowering, and goes well with the saltiness of the shiopan, while the aburi mentaiko gives the bread a unique briny umami. 100/10 defo coming back and ordering in advance!

Owner and staff were super friendly and accommodating. i ordered for the wrong date but they still manage to make it work by giving my order to me earlier hehe. Shiopan was bussin, so crispy and salty and buttery. inside super fluffy! definitely worth coming here for! and their coffee is solid

Tried 1 each. Flavors of truffle and mentai was not too overpowering and adds to the shiopan. Saltiness is also great, generous with the salt. I’m deducting 2 stars because of 2 reasons: 1) Price. Original is around $4, mentai around $6.50, truffle around $7.50. A good shio pan from gokoku is around $2. (And I actually prefer gokoku over this, as I will explain below) The pricing is, for the lack of a better word, extravagant. 2) Taste/texture. I ate the truffle one like 30 mins after buying, and the mentai and original reheated. For both versions, the bread was DENSE. It’s not bounce/chewiness from the sourdough, there’s that, but the bread is not airy, it’s dense. It’s my personal preference, but because I prefer my shio pan light and airy, I’m rating it below gokoku. (My benchmark for a shiopan) TLDR: good to try once, but better to get from somewhere else that’s more worth your money. If money not an issue and you prefer dense over airy, then this will be 5/5.
