塩パン屋 pain・maison 銀座店
Shiopan-ya pain maison is a salt bread specialty bakery in Ginza, Tokyo. Its signature salt bread costs just 120 yen, and nearly every other loaf is priced within 200 yen, earning the shop a reputation for excellent value. The selection is wonderfully varied, including truffle, Japanese-style mentaiko (spicy pollock roe), and a salt melon bread topped with a thick layer of cookie dough, so tasting your way through several kinds is part of the fun. As you chew, the gentle saltiness and the natural sweetness of the bread unfold together, and there are always freshly baked loaves lined up on the shelves. Because the bakery is so popular, placing an order through the online reservation system before you arrive makes for a smooth visit.
