Ushiku, Ibaraki, Japan｜麦童

Visited on June 5, 2023 at 11:40: When I returned home, I noticed a bakery while walking. I thought it was ``Mugiwarabe,'' but it turned out to be ``Bakudo.'' The bread here was delicious. Although the store faces the road, there are no ingenious features such as glass walls that allow you to see inside. If you could see it, you would get more attention. It's a store that you won't know until you enter. People from Ibaraki Prefecture tend not to display themselves more than necessary. This shop may also reflect Ibaraki's temperament. (This is just my imagination. Maybe they bought a normal house.)

Is delicious. There are many spicy Mexican breads, and the dough is delicious! The prices are not too expensive and the store is spacious. The cash register counter is partitioned off at the top by a thick vinyl curtain, so you can feel safe! There are two parking spaces on the side of the store, which is difficult to enter and exit. There's a co-op next door and a trial shop diagonally across the street, so if you stop by while shopping, you'll likely be able to solve your parking problem. The main thing to do is to bring your own shopping bags. If you ask for a paper cup for your free coffee at the time of checkout, you will receive one, so you can make a cup of coffee next to the store entrance and take it home. I went there on a Sunday at noon, and they have a wide variety of grilled Janjans, so you can enjoy the fun of choosing! Personally, I like the taste better than the nearby Hitsu◯Kumo, and it's cheaper!

It's my favorite of all the bakeries! Everything is delicious and I have trouble deciding what to eat every time. I bought about 10 pieces and it was a sight to see the clerk ticking the cash register at high speed (lol) The parking lot can only accommodate two cars, so I park at the co-op or trial next door. It opens at 7am, so it's great if you're heading out early in the morning! It was nice to be able to pay with PayPal as well.
