01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A quiet side street in Koto Ward's Fukuzumi neighborhood leads to cotoripan, a local bakery greeting passersby with the aroma of fresh baking from the early morning. Inside the compact shop, shelves are lined end-to-end with an enticing, almost overwhelming selection ranging from sweet breakfast treats to hearty savory loaves.
The natural place to begin is the namesake cotoripan. Inside the chewy dough, velvety custard and bitter chocolate cream sit side by side, offering a charming bun that shifts in flavor with every bite.
Savory meal options are just as thoughtfully represented at accessible prices. Trays display old-school yakisoba noodles tucked into soft rolls, sausage dogs accented with pickles and mustard, crisp bacon épis, and spiced curry buns. Unique bakes such as cumin-scented cheese fougasse and plump, raisin-packed loaves keep browsing lively.
Operating as a takeout-only bakery, cotoripan opens its doors at 8:00. Breads can sell down significantly around midday, making an early morning visit best for picking up breakfast or lunch to enjoy in a nearby park or on an urban stroll.
