Otaki, Chiba, Japan｜Yakitate Pan Jun (bakery)

Great little locally owned bakery. Perfect stop on the way to/from the beach. Good selection of sweet & savoury baked goods. Very delicious, light & fluffy. It is set off from the road a bit, so look at for the tall sign. Parking outside, credit card available. (2021/11/06: Hand sanitising alcohol on hand & wear a mask inside)

We have an array of delicious and interesting breads that you've never seen at a local bakery. I always stop by when I go to Chiba.

I love basil bacon and Mont Blanc! ①Basil bacon ¥220 The flavor of the basil and bacon soaks into the bread, and when you bite into it, it oozes out! The crunchiness of the cheese and the melty texture of the tomatoes are also exquisite! As the name suggests, basil is the main ingredient in this bread! (I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo...) ②Mont Blanc ¥220 Candied chestnuts! There were two whole pieces! That alone makes me happy! Cream like Western-style Kurikindan and light white cream were sandwiched between fluffy brioche-like bread, and I was impressed by how delicious, cheap, and voluminous it was...! ③Cheese France ¥215 There's so much cheese in it that I wonder if it's worth it at this price! It's a classic deliciousness. ④ Addictive melon bread ¥185 It was an old-fashioned melon bread with cream inside. Cream has a strange taste. (It doesn't seem like custard or fresh cream) The dough is a sweet pastry. ⑤2 mini croissants ¥130 It tasted like fluffy milk bread! It came in two pieces so I shared it with a friend. I received a bonus from the store. thank you! It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal!
