What is Chiikawa Bakery?
Chiikawa Bakery is an official bakery themed on the popular characters "Chiikawa," "Hachiware," and "Usagi," who are very popular on SNS and in animation.
With cute breads, drinks, and limited-edition goods based on the characters' motifs, the bakery offers an exciting worldview just by visiting.
Popular "Chiikaware" characters are made into bread!
Breads that recreate the expressions of the characters, such as Chiikawa bread and Hachiware bread, are lined up. Each loaf is so carefully made that it would be a shame to eat it.

Inside the store, even the showcases and walls are decorated with "Chiikaware. Even the boxes with the breads and the goods section are designed in a cute way, making every photo a good one.

A shopper bag is available for a fee. (If you have a large box to put your bread in and want to take it home as unshaped as possible, it is better to get a bag of the right size from the store).
Deaf bread is 2,200 yen at the cash register.
The special item "wax bread" is ordered directly from the cash register, not from the showcase. The price is 2,200 yen (tax included)!
Cute but expensive... It comes with a plate, so it will be a nice souvenir.

PotipReview of the actual bread!
It comes in a cute and cute illustrated box.
It was taken care not to break.
Chiikawaka bread (I got burned)
With custard cream. It has a tan-like design with sunglasses marks, which is cute and summery.
Bunny Buns (burned out)
With caramel cream. Sunglasses shaped cookies and chocolate eyes are also delicious. I was more sunburned than Chiikawa.
Momonga Soft French Bread
Soft and fluffy French bread with cookies and custard. Light and easy to eat.
Old Bookstore Coronet
A combination of strawberry chocolate and custard. You can also enjoy the crunchy texture of the cookies.
Kuri manju bun
Filled with chestnut bean paste, it is very satisfying. Recommended for Japanese sweets lovers.
Overall Taste
The bread is generally firm and the cream is moderate. This is due to the emphasis on "crumbliness," a device that makes it easy to take home. The cookie portion has a crispy texture, and I enjoyed both the appearance and the taste.
Attractive Goods Corner
Goods corner where you can stop by after purchasing bread
Next to the bread, there is a merchandise section with stuffed animals and miscellaneous goods.
Items that can be purchased without an admission ticket
The merchandise section can be used without an admission ticket. This is a great point for Chiikawa fans.
Tips for avoiding crowds and making reservations
- Be sure to secure advance tickets on weekends, summer holidays, and days when goods go on sale.
- On weekdays, you may be able to get in even with same-day reservations (unlikely).
- All kinds of bread were still available even at 12:00 p.m., so you don't have to stick to the morning.

The bread is designed to be crumbly, so it is safe to take it home. The bakery also offers a wide variety of goods, so it is worth a visit if you are a Chiikawa fan.
