About a ten-minute walk from Mikawashima Station, this popular bakery cafe in Arakawa, Tokyo, lays out row after row of freshly baked bread. The selection is wide, ranging from croissants to sozai-pan (savory filled breads) and even adorable carrot-shaped rolls, and with prices starting in the 300-yen range the breads are praised for looking as stylish as they taste. The terrace seating welcomes dogs, so you can spend time there with your pup, and the shop bustles with locals and tourists alike from early morning. It makes for a spot in the Nippori area that is well worth going out of your way to visit.

Ganso Aokiya in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, has built its reputation on souzai pan, savory filled bread rolls that make a meal in themselves. The shop starts with a large, wonderfully soft koppepan (a split, hot-dog-style bun) and tucks in two freshly fried, piping-hot cutlets. Favorites include the korokke (potato croquette) and the hamu katsu (breaded, deep-fried ham), each priced at a friendly 330 yen. Every roll arrives with real heft, hearty enough to count as a full meal on its own. The gently sweet bread pairs beautifully with the crisp fried filling and the savory sauce that soaks into it, and customers return again and again to praise just how much satisfaction and value they get for the price.
