Maison Ichi Bakery to Feature Seasonal Delights at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi

Discovering the Seasonal Delights of Maison Ichi Bakery

Maison Ichi, a renowned bakery managed by Broad Edge Advisors, is set to unveil its seasonal specialties from March 4 to March 10, 2026, at the basement level of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. This limited-time pop-up promises to captivate both new customers and loyal fans of the bakery's exceptional bread.

Over the past months, Maison Ichi has gained acclaim for its dedication to quality ingredients, fermentation techniques, and meticulous texture design. Queues have formed at previous exclusive events, often leading to sell-outs of their signature products early on, showcasing the bakery's popularity and the high demand for its creations.

Signature Offering: Croissant au Beurre

One of the highlights of this event will be the bakery's staple, the Croissant au Beurre. Priced at ¥497, this croissant features layers crafted with French butter, creating a delightful balance of fragrance and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Maison Ichi uses an exquisite butter sourced from the nearby Pumpiry village, paired with the renowned AOP butter from Échiré, ensuring a rich flavor profile that adheres to stringent European quality standards. Despite its flaky nature making it challenging to work with, the result is a croissant that is both aromatic and perfectly melting.

The Essence of Spring: Limited Edition Sakura Treats

In addition to their classic offerings, Maison Ichi is introducing a selection of special spring-themed breads, evoking the beauty of sakura (cherry blossom) season. Among these, the Tour au Sakura is priced at ¥670 and promises to be a delightful choice for those looking to indulge their senses. This pastry combines buttery, flaky Danish dough with sweet sakura mochi and crunchy kanoko beans, creating a taste of spring with every bite.

Another exclusive item is the SAKURA Koppe, a unique product only available in specially curated sets, enhancing the experience of trying out various flavors. This particular offering encapsulates the taste of sakura mochi within a fluffy koppe bun, a harmoniously new yet nostalgic take on traditional flavors.
