A popular shop full of locals

Kintaro Pan is so crowded that it can be difficult to pass each other. There are countless breads in the store, but the fact that there are so many types of bread is a proof of the 100-year history that the family has continued.

Many people visit Kintaro Pan every day, so many breads are sold out by the time the shop closes.

Anpan with homemade sweet beans paste

It's difficult to choose a recommendation from so many types, but the first one is anpan!

The moderately sweet and moist "adzuki (red beans)" paste is made daily by Kintaro Pan. Sugar and beans are cooked in a 1:1 ratio, and in the end they are fine-tuned according to the season and climate.

In addition to normal anpan, there are plenty of breads using homemade beans paste, such as fried, with salted & butter, white with beans paste, and melon anpan. Of course, such arranged breads are also delicious, but first of all, we recommend the normal anpan, where you can simply enjoy the red beans paste.

Brioche introduced on TV and in magazines

The brioche, which has been sold since the company was founded, was made in imitation when brioche was not introduced to Japan.

With plenty of butter, the surface is crunchy and the inside is moist. It has a simple taste with a gentle sweetness, but it is a popular item that you can eat for a long time without getting tired of it.

We recommend warming it up in the microwave or in the toaster before eating it, as the flavor of the butter becomes even more pronounced when it's warmed up!

Where did the name “Kintaro Pan” come from?

When Kintaro Pan was founded, the food supply was not good.

It is said that the grandmother of the current owner, Mrs. Imazaki, named "Kintaro Pan" with the hope that "children in the town of Fuse would like to eat bread so that they will be energized like Kintaro."

Kitaro is a boy and brave character of a tale in Japan.

That feeling has been passed down to this day, and the delicious breads and cheerful staffs welcome you with "energy like Kintaro".

Find Kintaro!

As the name of the shop, “Kintaro Pan” suggests, there are a lot of Kintaro in the shop!

Various kinds of Kintaro are sprinkled on pops and packages in the store, as well as on take-out bags.

Kintaro can also be seen on the exterior of the shop. When you visit the shop, please count how many Kintaro are on the outside!

SEKAI HOTEL becomes an eat-in space for Kintaro Pan

Kintaro Pan does not have an eating space, but SEKAI HOTEL would like you to enjoy their breads with a freshly baked condition.

After a discussion between the two, a collaboration was realized in which all customers who purchased Kintaro Pan could eat in at SEKAI HOTEL's cafe by ordering one drink.

SEKAI HOTEL's cafe has an microowave, so you can eat it hot as if it was freshly made.

You can eat it at Fuse, or you can buy it for the next day and take it home. Please come and taste the taste of Kintaro Pan that has been woven for 100 years!
