Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan｜Okamoto Bakery

It's an old-fashioned "bakery" without the slightest bit of modern fancy feel. The store is loved by the locals and supplies products to kindergartens and schools, and this can be easily seen from the personality of the grandmother who stands guard at the store while flipping an abacus. I go there every now and then because I feel nostalgic for the old days, or just because it's rustic and simple. The thick-sliced ​​bread for the sandwiches and the freshly fried curry bread are delicious, and the highly recommended chicken salad bread is the kind of bread that makes you want to say, ``This is so good!'' They usually run out of stock in the morning, around 11am at the earliest, so if you want to eat bread, get there early.

This is a so-called ``bakery'' that sells food to local junior high schools (my alma mater) for lunch. I passed this store every day on my walking route and thought, ``Wow, that's what they're doing.'' There was a lot of bread left today, so I went in. I selected sausage bread, yakisoba bread, peanut bread, and hamburger bread, which I don't think was available at the time, and my father, realizing that I had been thinking about ham cutlet bread, said, ``I've got a whole ham cutlet bread, so I'll give it to you as an extra.'' Graduates of Daishi Junior High School come here every once in a while. "You'll help me," he said. A father with an impressive gentle smile. I hope you stay healthy and continue.

When I was in junior high school, this bakery was the place where I got my school lunch bread. Because of that, I sometimes feel like eating ruthlessly (lol) The bread itself is a little sweet. My recommendation is the one I ate when I was a student at Yahari. Vegetable bread (weed bread (lol)), spicy ham sandwich (Okamoto's Sandwich), and ham cutlet bread with fried fish sausage. Also, the gratin burger that later became popular at Mac's, for me, Okamoto Bakery came first and this one has the best taste. If you go before noon, most of the bread you're looking for will be gone, so it's best to arrive early. The kind owner gives us extras, and eating the bread at this bakery makes me feel nostalgic and happy.
