01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A crisp, fragrant baguette generously spread to its ends with spicy pollack roe, the mentai France is one of Horii Bakery's easiest items to reach for. Its balanced kick and savoury depth mesh with the crusty crumb, making it satisfying to bite straight into or slice at home as an accompaniment for evening drinks. Crust lovers will also spot crusty breads that highlight dough texture, such as the zunda salt butter roll—where a crisp surface gives way to an airy crumb filled with mashed sweet green soybean paste—alongside rustic, slow-chewing baguettes.
Hearty savoury loaves and lunchtime sandwiches
Midday diners have no shortage of substantial choices. Richly topped tartines like shrimp and asparagus bisque sauce make a filling meal once rewarmed, when the sauce turns rich and fragrant. The counter also features simple staples like jambon fromage alongside distinct concoctions such as horsemeat curry bread and a tsukune chicken meatball burger, giving you plenty of variety to match the day's mood.
Morning pastries and sweet bakes for tea
Sweet breads and pastries are equally enticing. A flaky pain au chocolat filled with chocolate makes a natural companion for a dark coffee. The display also holds melonpan with an airy, gentle sweetness, generously studded chocolate chip scones, and traditional cannelés, practical for an afternoon snack or a small gift.
The bakery operates exclusively for takeout, opening at 7:00. Dropping by to grab a few chosen loaves makes an enjoyable routine on the way to work or morning outings.
