Embracing Deliciousness: Riz Lie Amande's New Journey
Riz Lie Amande, located in Edogawa, Tokyo, is set to celebrate its second anniversary with a refreshing makeover on April 1, 2026. This charming bakery, once focused primarily on cakes, is now shifting its emphasis towards offering a variety of gluten-free rice flour breads, all with the mission to eliminate the phrase "Can't eat it" from our lives.
The foundation of Riz Lie Amande lies in a personal journey; the owner developed a wheat allergy that abruptly turned beloved treats into items that were off-limits. The struggle of not being able to enjoy what was once so accessible led to the commencement of this bakery. As the owner sought to make delicious choices available to others, the vision for Riz Lie Amande was born: to create foods that not only cater to dietary restrictions but also indulges the heart’s desire for flavor and enjoyment.
In light of this mission, the bakery will introduce its exclusive ingredient, Amopalu®, which serves as the backbone of its offerings. Made from almond pulp—the byproduct of almond milk production—this unique ingredient elevates the texture and flavor of their baked goods, providing a moist and flavorful experience that is sure to delight.
The Essence of Amopalu®
Amopalu® is an ingredient unlike any other. Essentially the leftover almond pulp after extracting almond milk, it brings a rich, nutty flavor that's incorporated into products like Amopalu Financier, Amopalu Fruit Pound Cake, and Amopalu Walnut Bread. With this innovation, even traditionally difficult gluten-free items such as croissants and flaky pastries will be available for the first time, debunking the myth that gluten-free options are subpar. After numerous trials, Riz Lie Amande has championed a light and flaky texture that transforms perceptions, making gluten-free synonymous with delightful experiences.
The rice flour breads boast a combination of satisfaction and lightness, ensuring that customers not only enjoy but fully savor what they eat. Additional treats such as cream puffs and various pastries will still be available, ensuring a range of choices that can suit any mood or craving. With prices ranging from 250 yen to 700 yen, these delightful creations are crafted to be a regular indulgence, rather than just treats for special occasions.
Located in Edogawa, the ambiance of Riz Lie Amande conjures the serene charm of a European corner bakery, where customers can engage their senses with quality bread and sweets that are gentle yet incredibly tasty. Through this renewal, Riz Lie Amande aims to steadily diminish the barriers of
