明治堂
Meijido is a long-established bakery in the Oji neighborhood of Kita Ward, Tokyo, founded in 1889 (Meiji 22). Its stylish red storefront is lined with a wide variety of breads, and it has built a strong reputation for its "Goku Shokupan," a premium loaf with a moist, fine-grained crumb, as well as its croissants and its shio butter France (a salted-butter French bread). Bread bought on the first floor can also be enjoyed upstairs in the second-floor cafe, where a morning set lets you choose items such as toast or a butter roll. Loved by locals for generations, it remains a popular neighborhood favorite that pairs freshly baked bread with a relaxed place to sit and eat.
