Bread consumption in Kyoto is among the highest in Japan. Kyoto is known as the "city of bread," and there are many high quality bakeries. Many people include a "bakery tour" in their Kyoto sightseeing plans, but if you go to all that trouble, you want to enjoy bread "inexpensively and deliciously," don't you? In this issue, we will introduce some famous bakery shops in Kyoto. Let's taste delicious bread at a reasonable price!
Shinshindo Direct Sales
Shinshindo is a long-established bakery established in 1913. With numerous stores located mainly in Kyoto City, it is one of the most familiar bakeries to Kyoto residents. The direct sales office of Shindo is located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City.
The bread on sale varies from day to day, but all are inexpensive! Some breads are sold in bags for 100 yen per bag, and some are sold for 200 yen for three pieces, so you can buy enough to fill up your stomach and still pay only a few hundred yen!
The bakery is popular among locals, with lines sometimes forming before the store opens.
It is a little hard to find, but we encourage you to visit!
