The Nagata Pan Bakery

The melon bun (in the middle) is the most popular kind in this bakery - outside crunchy, inside soft, and not too sweet

Choco cornet, one of the best sweet buns born in Japan

The second floor is a small calming space where you can enjoy your bread alone as well as with friends

You can serve yourself a coffee for free at the foot of the stairs

Rows and rows of delicious delight

Looking for a place to have lunch in Hakozaki, I came across this small retro shop – the Nagata Pan Bakery. Being attracted to the 1920s atmosphere and scent of fresh bread, I stepped inside. The delightful rows of bread in the showcase immediately came into my eyes, but then I found myself feeling extremely comfortable in the old fashioned interior. I decided to enjoy the freshly made buns and free coffee you serve for yourself on the second floor, where they have tables, and had a relaxing time, feeling classy.
