Turning Japonaise


How about a review of sorts, since we haven't had one of those in a while? Japonaise Bakery and Cafe mixes Japanese snack staples with French influences. A nice assortment of traditional bakery items like cream puffs and croissants are accompanied by Japanese specialties like Curry Donuts and Melon Pan.

The An Pan, made from an airy dough and stuffed with sweet red bean paste is a nice change from your standard Starbucks fare.

I recently tried a potato and veggie patty breaded and fried then topped with a sweet and tangy glaze of bbq sauce and served on a brioche bun. Heaven.

They also bake a number of fresh breads like the Shoku Pan, a traditional white bread great for sandwiches. I imagine it would work particularly well for dainty tea sandwiches.
