Cute lil Japanese bakery off the beaten path. This place is the COMPLETE AND TOTAL OPPOSITE of a German bakery, so turn back now if you're expecting crusty Brötchen! They have a lot of different types of Japanese pastries, aka pillowy soft bread with fillings, such as matcha, red bean, custard, etc. Everything is sealed in clear plastic and you just pick what you want and pay at the front. The items are hit or miss, but it really depends on what you like. I tried: - Earl gray muffin (nice with a subtle earl gray flavor, but tiny size) - Chocolate bun (soft chewy dough with a chocolate middle) - French toast stick (crunchy & sweet glazed toast) - Japanese curry roll (curry inside crunchy fried dough, kind of tastes like a Japanese meat pie) - Japanese iced coffee (plain black iced coffee, nothing special) Everything is 1-3 Euros, which seems fair, though the items are pretty small. There's plenty of seating and tons of bright windows, so it's a cute place to chat with friends or linger. When I dropped in, there were only Japanese people there. I don't think it can compare to the cafes in Japanese districts in other cities (for example LA's amazing Little Tokyo) BUT for Germany I think it's a unique place, and a great alternative when you want a different kind of bakery experience. read more

The only authentic Japanese bakery I've found in Germany so far! The selection is huge. They sell it all, from Melon Pan to red bean / matcha cream filled pastries and the infamous Yakisoba Pan. Everything looks and tastes like it came straight out of Tokyo. If you like Japanese food / sweets and have a craving for matcha products don't miss out on this little gem hidden in a small side-street close to local Japan town. Prices range from 1,50 to 2,50€ Try the matcha cream filled buns. Those are heaven! read more

Great Japanese bakery, kind of hidden in a not-so-interesting street. Ahh I wish we had this in Amsterdam. I bought some things to eat in the car and for bringing home and it was all good. Most buns are priced 1,50 euros which is a good price. I recommend this the sweet donut filled with red bean paste. It was my favorite! I really love Japanese flavors like matcha and azuki bean so this was great. If you are not really into this kind of flavors there are also more European ones like cinnamon, vanilla and cream cheese. They sell all kinds of stuff and everything is sealed in plastic so it should be fresh for a few days. read more
