Kimuraya Sohonten Introduces New Lemon Bread for the Summer Heat

As summer approaches, Kimuraya Sohonten, a well-regarded bakery based in Tokyo, is set to launch a refreshing new product: Lemon Bread. Available from June 1, 2026, this delightful treat promises to bring a touch of coolness to the scorching summer days. Alongside this offering, the bakery will unveil two additional seasonal flavors, ensuring that there's something for everyone to enjoy.

The Star of the Season: Lemon Bread

The Lemon Bread is crafted to enhance its flavor when chilled, making it an ideal snack for hot summer days. Featuring a luscious lemon cream topped with slices of lemon, this bread not only looks delightful but also offers a burst of refreshing flavor.

Priced at 237 yen (tax included), Kimuraya has developed a unique dough that remains moist even when refrigerated, ensuring that each bite retains its soft texture. The combination of two types of lemon cream—carefully blended in-house—paired with lemon peel elevates the citrusy taste, making it an exceptionally refreshing choice. For the best experience, it is recommended to chill the Lemon Bread in the refrigerator for about 40 minutes before enjoying, allowing its invigorating flavors to reach their peak on warm days.

A Colorful Lineup of Seasonal Offerings

In addition to the Lemon Bread, Kimuraya is introducing two other exciting products:

Edamame and Bacon Bread

Price: 280 yen (tax included)

This savory bread combines the pop of edamame with the subtle saltiness of bacon, complemented by the toasty flavor of cheese, offering a delightful snack experience.

White Peach Anpan

Price: 226 yen (tax included)

Packed with a fragrant blend of white peach and the refreshing taste of white peach jelly, this delicate roll features a filling made using the famous Akatsuki peaches from Fukushima, all enveloped in a soft, sake-infused dough.

Availability and Details

All three delicious products will be available at supermarkets and retail stores in the Greater Tokyo area starting June 1, 2026. Please note that the names, prices, and availability of these products may vary by store.
