RYOICHI YAMAUCHI
A 6-minute walk from the west exit of Hankyu Kurakuenguchi Station. A renowned bakery that has long led the highly competitive Kurakuen bread scene. Selected for Tabelog Bread WEST Top 100 twice in 2020 and 2022. The square bread loaf is so popular it often requires a reservation. Operating only 4 days a week (Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun) adds to its exclusivity.
Many reviews say 'the bakery I go out of my way to visit' and 'was shocked when I first tasted the square bread loaf.' Competition is especially fierce on weekends, with popular items selling out upon opening. Unwavering popularity in a hotly competitive bread area with many loyal regulars.
