Osaka, Japan｜BOULANGERIE BURDIGALA

The bread is made properly. I was reminded of my time in Southern Germany. Satisfying, firm textures which were a pleasure to eat. Not excessively sweet like many baked goods commonly are in Japan. I look forward to returning.

Upmarket bakery with an eat in section. The range is good and tastes are interesting. This is not the usual run of the mill bakery. Prices are also surprisingly reasonable.

A typical "nice Western bakery"... But, a great place to spend some time reading or relaxing. They're located in the underground Herbis Plaza, which is quiet and clean. There is a large and well-lit seating area (no wifi). The pain au chocolat was fresh, a nice Japanese version of the French classic: not too sweet, not too greasy. A cup of coffee is small, but only 360 yen! And served with a smile. :)
