I've seen this bakery get a little PR on TV, and although their most popular item seems to be the large chocolate danish ring, I decided to get a few items for lunch.

First, the salmon spinach quiche (328 yen).  It had a nice and flaky crust, with a lightly seasoned but juicy interior.  Overall a standard quiche.  Next up, the chicken bake with tomato (250 yen).  The chicken  was a bit dry from the roasting, but had the sweet teriyaki sauce and Japanese mayo (a no-fail combo) helped offset that.  The bread was slightly sweet, as typical Chinese or Japanese bakery breads often are.

For dessert, I went for the Valois butter croissant (86 yen).  I'm not sure if it was supposed to be different than a regular croissant, but it wasn't anything too special, as was too light and crispy throughout for my liking.

If you have a big sweet tooth, you should try the toronama rusk とろなまラスク.  Little pieces of rusk coated in a sweet caramel are like heaven for those that are craving sugar.  I've seen it sold in convenience stores in little packages around the puddings!
