As the leaves begin to change and the air gets crisp, Grandir, a renowned bakery in Kyoto, is excited to unveil a selection of seasonal breads that capture the essence of autumn. Starting September 1, 2025, the bakery will introduce several delights featuring traditional Japanese ingredients, inviting customers to indulge in the tastes of the season.
Introducing the New Seasonal Bread
One of the standout offerings is the
Kyoto Fresh Tear Bread - Chestnut and Brown Sugar Walnut. This item is an autumn twist on the bakery's popular tear bread, which has sold over 730,000 pieces in total since its launch. Made with a soft and chewy dough, this limited-edition flavor is blended with sweet chestnuts and brown sugar walnuts, providing a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The soft sweetness of the dough perfectly complements the earthy flavor of chestnuts, while the roasted walnuts add a hint of crunch. At just 560 yen (tax included), this bread is a must-try for any autumn feast.
Another exciting addition is the
Sweet Potato Butter Bagel - Purple Sweet Potato, available for 290 yen (tax included). This beautifully marbled bagel combines the sweetness of purple sweet potato powder with a savory filling of sweet potato paste and salted butter. Each bite offers a harmonious balance between the earthy sweetness of sweet potato and the rich, buttery flavor, making it the perfect snack for a chilly autumn day.
A Visual and Flavorful Treat
For those looking for something visually striking, the
Chestnut and Cassis Brot is sure to please. Starting October 1, this colorful bread features a blend of cassis puree, sweet chestnuts, walnuts, and rum raisins, all encased in a classic French dough. Priced at 880 yen for a whole loaf and 450 yen for a half, the vibrant purple interior is not only attractive but also contributes a sweet and tangy flavor profile that will delight the senses. Enjoy it on its own or elevate it by adding a light spread of butter.
