I couldn’t believe that there was a baker/cafe in Nagoya that sells vegan croissants.
I looked at their pictures, and the croissants looked fabulous.
So I was so excited to visit the bakery yesterday.

It’s called Poitrie.
The nearest station is Marunouchi Station.

Their lunch menu includes various pasta dishes, one fish dish, and one meat dish.
All come with soup, salad, and some kind of bread.
What I came here for was their bread plate which consists of two pieces of bread of your choice, soup, and salad, and it is, I believe, the only vegan option.

No all the bread is vegan, but luckily, there are a lot of vegan options.
This is their signature item, vegan croissant.

This is the “An Butter” version.
Sweet red beans and vegan butter are sandwiched in the vegan croissant.

The one on the left is Curry Bun; they use soy meat in the curry.
The one on the right is Melon Bun.
They are both vegan.

This may be seasonal.
It’s rye bread with chestnut pieces and paste.
Vegan.

You can even buy vegan Shokupan here.

It was hard to make the decision, but I picked the Curry Bun and the An Butter Croissant.
They warm them up for you.

The curry bun was delicious!
It was very satisfying, and at the same time, it was not greasy at all.

And the An Butter Croissant was absolutely perfect!
This is probably the best vegan croissant I’ve ever tried.

We came home with a few goodies.
Now I have good news and bad news for you.
The bad news is that vegan bread is going to be unavailable starting November, which is tomorrow.
The good news is that we were able to try them before they are discontinued and I was able to at least make a post about it.
Ok, it may not sound like good news, but this makes me realize how important it is to support businesses if you like what they do and want them to continue.

We bought this variety pack of incense the other day at the historical incense shop , and enjoying incense after dinner has become our daily routine.
It’s so relaxing.
This variety pack is great, because you can try different aroma every night.
So far my favorite is “Palo Santo”.
I had never heard of it before, and it’s so unique and it’s hard to describe this fragrance.
But I would probably describe it as woody, citrusy, with a touch of exotic fruitiness.
