Chiisana Komorebi

The first thing that catches the eye at Chiisana Komorebi is its shokupan, made with milk alone rather than water. Visitors describe it as gently sweet and enjoyable even without toasting. If you like a sweeter flavour, it may be worth trying plain, straight from the bakery, or eating without toasting.

Another item that earns memorable mentions is the an butter bread. The sweetness of the dough and red bean paste is balanced by the saltiness of the butter. Reviewers suggest enjoying it as it is or warming it slightly to soften the butter. One visitor says it was a hit even with a friend who usually dislikes red bean paste, making it an inviting choice for anyone curious to try an butter.

Alongside bread, the bakery offers black and Chinese tea, rice balls, soup and bento meals. There are options for a light pause with bread and a drink, as well as something more substantial. Some visitors look forward to seasonal breads and new menu items, and handmade sweets may also be available in limited quantities on the day.

The bakery is on the 2 floor in Nishi-Ikebukuro, with both dine-in and takeaway available. It is open on Mondays from 10:30 to 16:00 and closed from Tuesday to Sunday. The entrance is not wheelchair-accessible.
