Ruburan

For a savoury lunch, try a ratatouille sandwich or a sesame sandwich filled with tuna, tomato and lettuce. Ruburan has several kinds of sandwiches, and reviewers also mention regularly buying sesame breads and baguettes topped with cheese.

For something more substantial, there is baked curry bread. One reviewer describes it as colourful and generously filled, while another enjoyed its slightly chewy dough and mildly spiced curry. It could be a good choice for anyone who prefers less heat.

To add something sweet, options include melon pan, reported to be crisp on the outside and soft within, as well as orange Danish pastry and croissant aux amandes. White chocolate doughnuts are also among the menu options. With savoury and sweet breads to choose from, the bakery suits a light lunch or a takeaway treat.

There is a wide selection of Danish pastries and savoury breads in the 200–300 yen range, making it easy to pick up a few without spending much. Some breads are baked at set times, according to reports, so it may be worth checking the timing if you have a particular favourite in mind.

The bakery is near Setagaya Ward Office, Kokushikan University and Shoin Shrine. On weekdays, it is open from 8:30 to 17:30. Reviewers have reported that many items can be sold out by the afternoon, so an earlier visit offers a better chance to choose from the full range. It is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
