On May 20, 2026, the highly anticipated
Shibuichi Bakery will open its doors in Jingu-mae, Tokyo, offering an innovative approach to bread-making. Operated by
HUGE Co., which boasts 47 restaurants primarily in Tokyo and Yokohama, this bakery promises a refreshing concept of a ‘restaurant-style bakery.’ With a menu featuring around 60 types of bread, the bakery aims to provide customers with an everyday indulgence that feels a bit special.
What sets
Shibuichi Bakery apart is its dedication to simplicity and quality ingredients. The bakery focuses on extracting the natural flavors of its materials by using domestically sourced ingredients, including naturally cultivated wheat and fresh domestic butter. With each loaf, the artisans prioritize craftsmanship, aiming to create breads that are deliciously simple yet satisfying.
Among its offerings, the bakery has quickly gained fame for its
fresh donuts. Priced at
270 yen, these donuts have sold out 600 pieces in a single day at special events. The donuts are characterized by their moist and smooth texture, providing a light and airy sensation the moment they touch the palate. Their gentle sweetness and balanced richness make them an instant favorite, perfect for those who wish to indulge daily without growing weary of their taste.
Additionally,
Shibuichi Bakery boasts a creative selection of signature breads, such as the
curry bread, priced at
453 yen, which originated from the famed restaurant DAZZLE. Encased in crispy croutons, this bread offers a crunchy exterior complemented by a rich, spice-laden filling that truly stands out for its depth of flavor.
Another highlight from their menu is the
melon bread, available for
302 yen. This smaller-sized treat features a crunchy cookie crust that encapsulates a soft and fluffy interior. Its balance of textures delivers a delightful experience, allowing customers to enjoy the authentic taste of high-quality ingredients without relying on artificial flavors or excessive sweetness.
To celebrate its grand opening, the first
800 customers who spend 1,000 yen or more will receive an exclusive original pouch and a set of
HUGE's specialty dark chocolate tablets. This initiative not only reflects the bakery's commitment to quality but also reinforces its connection to the community.
Located in a tranquil, tree-lined area,
Shibuichi Bakery invites patrons to enjoy the warm aroma of freshly baked bread while they relax in the serene ambiance of Jingu-mae. With its open kitchen layout, guests can witness the entire baking process, connecting them more closely with the craftsmanship behind each product they purchase. The space is designed to enhance the experience of enjoying good bread, mirroring the ambiance of a restaurant.
HUGE Co., established in 2005, seeks to become an integral part of the neighborhoods it serves. The company’s philosophy centers around understanding the needs of the community, resulting in tailored restaurant concepts rather than cookie-cutter franchises. Established by
