Amamudakotan Omotesando store with wood-based decor
One of the most distinctive features of Amamudakotan Omotesando is its wood-based interior design. The warm interior looks like it could have appeared in a scene from a fairy tale or a Ghibli movie, giving it the feel of an art gallery rather than a bakery.
The soft light and warmth of wood created by natural materials relax visitors and provide them with a special moment.
The breads lined up in the store are also beautifully displayed like art. The craftsmanship that goes into each loaf is a visual treat as well as a taste sensation.
Review of an actual visit
I visited around 4:30pm. I had heard that there was a line, so I was prepared to wait for a long time, but I was lucky that day and the line up only took about 5 minutes.
However, perhaps because it was close to closing time, the selection of breads was limited. Still, we were able to get some great items.
Bread purchased and what you think of it
I purchased three types of bread: carrot rapé and duck bread, anpan (red bean bun), and matcha and raspberry bread. Each of them exceeded my expectations and I was particularly impressed by the quality of the ingredients.
- Carrot Rapée and Duck Bread was a deeply flavorful dish with a wonderful balance of bread dough and ingredients.
- Matcha and raspberry bread was a unique and special experience, with the astringency of the matcha tea and the sweet and sour taste of the raspberry blending perfectly.
The bread is of course delicious, but the quality of the ingredients sandwiched between the bread is especially very high, and I could feel the attention to detail in each and every one of them. The price is a little high, but considering the quality, it is an acceptable price.
Eat-in space and take-out recommendations
There is a self-service eat-in space with antique desks and chairs in front of the Amamudakotan Omotesando store. While it is a charming place to enjoy bread in a stylish atmosphere while feeling the breeze outside, it may be wiser to visit for takeout, as there are only a few seats available.
Buy without standing in line! Recommended online ordering method
Because the Amamudakotan Omotesando store is extremely popular, you will often have to wait for a long time at the store, but you can buy without standing in line by using the official online store.
If you order by 10:00 a.m. on the designated day, you can enjoy the recommended set at home, so this method is recommended for those who want to avoid the crowds. I will also make an advance reservation online next time to make sure I get my bread smoothly.
