Bakery Maki

Tucked into a quiet residential pocket of Asahi in Kawaguchi, Bakery Maki stocks the kind of straightforward, everyday breads that fit easily onto breakfast tables and casual lunches. Savory buns take pride of place, particularly golden fried fillings like breaded ham cutlets and crab cream croquettes that make for a satisfying, filling bite. Classic potato salad rolls sit alongside them, championing honest, no-fuss flavors.

Sweet choices and bakery staples show an equal amount of care. The cream buns are filled with housemade custard, the peanut buns carry a satisfying, crunchy nut texture, and the raisin bread comes studded generously with fruit, making them natural afternoon treats. The dough stays reliably soft throughout the range, extending to tender butter rolls, crisp yet chewy curry buns, and distinctive specials like purple sweet potato bean paste buns and green melonpan.

Loaves of sandwich bread can be sliced to your preferred thickness at the counter, and they frequently sell out early. With operating hours centered on the weekend from Friday through Sunday, shelves often thin out by early afternoon, so visiting earlier in the day offers the widest selection. While there is no dedicated car or bicycle parking, cashless payments such as PayPay are accepted for takeout orders.
