Yesterday we went to check out the bakery we had been interested in for a while.
It’s called Boushu.
It’s an interesting name, and I asked the owner about it.
She told me that Boushu “芒種” is a Japanese word to indicate the season when seeds for grains are planted.
They pick ingredients carefully and make their own yeast naturally.
All the bread looked great.
But we came home with a loaf of Boule, a small loaf of Earl Grey Orange bread, and a Potato Focaccia.
They were all delicious.
We’ll definitely go back, probably regularly.
It’s a small shop located at the edge of the Endoji Shotengai street.
They kept the old store sign (it seems like it used to be a clothing store?), but they do have a sign that indicates that it’s a bakery outside the store.
It was such a beautiful sunny day, and we decided to go for a walk after dropping off the bread at home.
It was a bit windy, but the wind didn’t feel too cold.
We headed to the Shirakawa Park which is located right in front of the Science museum.
It’s a nice park, and we enjoyed taking our time strolling.
These berries looked yummy, but I’m not sure if they are edible.
On the street right by the park were Netflix trucks that were advertising a new show.
This statue was getting a lot of attention, and there were a lot of people taking pictures.
I believe the show is called “Ikusagami” or “Last Samurai Standing”, adapted from a Japanese manga series.
Before going home we took a detour and stopped at the Osu district.
The Osu business streets are always so lively and fun to visit.
We always seem to end up here for some reason (lol).
