Luchia

Pulling apart the soft dough reveals a generous filling of house-made custard cream. As the signature pastry of Luchia, this cream bun is widely chosen across generations for its smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture and gentle egg flavor. The pillowy crumb and straightforward sweetness give it an unpretentious appeal that makes it easy to pick up as an everyday snack.

The shop also offers a strong selection of daily table breads for breakfast and meals. Named after the bakery, the Luchian Bread is a subtly sweet white loaf enriched with dairy cream and condensed milk; it remains tender and moist when pulled apart as is, while toasting yields a crisp, fragrant exterior. In contrast, the baguettes and batards deliver a crunchy outer crust around a chewy interior, with just enough salt that a drizzle of olive oil brings out the wheat's natural flavor.

Shelves at the storefront feature plenty of savory options for lunch, including mentaiko baguettes seasoned with pollock roe and butter, curry buns filled with simmered curry, and stuffed roll buns. Although it is a compact takeout-only bakery, it stays open on weekdays until 22:00 in the evening, making it a reliable stop to grab bread for the next day on the way home from work.
