Kyoto: Top 10 Breakfast Bakeries to Visit

Located near the intersection of Karasuma Oike, Annee is both a bakery and a café, and you can eat the products you buy in-store or on the terrace.
Croissants are the store’s most popular products, and by using high-quality fermented butter the owner has reproduced the taste of the croissants he fell in love with during his time training in France.
Seasonal fruit sandwiches with luxurious flavors using moist bread are also popular.
One of the big drawcards of the bakery is that it is open from morning to late at night.

Tanaka sandwich has been around for some time, founded in 1973.
The most popular item in this shop is the “ “Fruit Sandwich””, which is jam-packed full of fruits. Fresh fruit and slightly sweet fresh cream are sandwiched between fluffy slices of bread, definitely leaving you more than satisfied.
There are also many other sandwiches available, and the shrimp cutlet sandwich is a gem. The shop’s owner, Mr. Tanaka, fries the cutlets at 4a.m. every morning and completes them by finishing with a handmade sauce.
The crispness of the lettuce placed between the bread and the cutlet, combined with the secret savory mustard is a recipe which results in providing a sandwich with a luxurious taste.

This is a bakery loved by the locals, which first opened in a town in Kyoto in 1948, and has since expanded to 21 stores.
"Carnet" is their most popular product, so much so that is frequently featured as a special dish of Kyoto.
The combination of sliced ham and crisp onion, sitting inside a unique fluffy French bread is a golden combination.

There is a wide range of other sandwiches available also.
"Original Beef Cutlet Sandwich" is steadfast in its popularity, and the "Soft Fluffy Omelette Sand" with a soft texture like soft-boiled eggs is also recommended.
However, instead of eating it immediately after purchasing, let it return to room temperature and let the dressing soak into the bread before eating.

Hanakago’s bread is famous locally as it is used in various popular restaurants in the area.
The most popular bread amongst Hanakago’s range is their "Organic Vegetable Bread", which is the result of a collaboration with a grocery store in Kyoto called "Sanaka no Tochu", a store which prides itself on carefully grown vegetables that don’t rely on pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
You can enjoy different ingredients throughout the year as various seasonal vegetables are used depending on the time of year.
Also look out for their "Red Wine Bread" which is made using red wine instead of water, which can be found at a famous cafe.

There are more than just bagels here too, and something worth trying is the “Croissant Banana Special”, which is a croissant covered in maple syrup and almonds, full of sautéed bananas which soak into the dough, all wrapped like a candy in thin paper. Wow!
