[Higashiginza] Adult jam bread specialty store "Ginza Tsuki and Hana"

Today, I would like to introduce Ginza Tsuki and Hana (hereinafter referred to as "Mon and Flower"), a jam bread specialty store.

The moon and flowers opened in December 2019 near the Miharabashi intersection in Ginza. The place is north of the Nile Restaurant. There are queues at both shops next to each other, so when I visited on the weekend, some people lined up incorrectly. But even if you make a mistake, they are both delicious shops, so that may be fine.

Let's explore the secrets of the popularity of jam bread, moon and flowers that can be lined up.

Jam bread that never existed before

The moon and flower jam bread is made of French bread dough with crisp clusters (outer skin). Then, jams made of seasonal domestic fruits are injected into baked French bread later. For this reason, the fruits feel fresher than jam bread that wraps and bakes jam on bread dough.

When you take it home, rebake (rebake) with a toaster just before eating. All photos are before rebaked. It became fluffy after the rebake.

The combination of kongari and fragrant bread dough with a sour taste that firmly conveys the taste of the fruit is a taste that has not been found in jam bread until now.

Okinawa Mango 380 yen

It is a seasonal fruit, so you can't overlook the fact that new flavors appear every season. The playful moon and flower original jam, such as a mixed jam of three kinds of fruits such as `` Kiwi Papaya Mango '' sold last year, and a combination of fruits with black tea and wine, are fresh. It is delicious.

Bread produced by knowledge of chemistry

Ginza Tsuki and Hana, a jam bread specialty store, was born as a new business format of a shop called Asakusa Kagetsudo (hereinafter referred to as Kagetsudo), which is driving the melon bread boom in the Asakusa area. Jumbo Melonpan, a specialty of Kagetsudo, is also a popular product that always attracts crowds near Senso-ji Temple with the texture of "crunchy outside and fluffy inside."

He is a fermentation specialist who studied fermentation at Tokyo University of Agriculture and then worked as a milling manufacturer for 10 years. It seems that they check the movement of bread yeast every day and bake the bread in the best condition. The bread made by food science professionals is delicious no matter who eats it.

Awesome Tokyo University of Agriculture

What to hide, I am a hidden fan of Tokyo University of Agriculture (although it is hidden after all). Since I became an adult, I sometimes saw the name of Tokyo University of Agriculture in various situations, and I learned that many graduates of Tokyo University of Agriculture are playing an active part in the world of familiar food. Even though I was just paying close attention to my secrets, when I knew that jam bread of the moon and flowers was related to Tokyo University of Agriculture, I felt as proud as myself.

Speaking of Tokyo University of Agriculture, the radish dance ("Aoyama Hotori") by the cheering squad, which is also performed at the New Year's Hakone Ekiden (Tokyo Hakone Roundtrip University Ekiden Race), is famous. It seems that radish dances were performed at the anniversary events at the site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Vegetable Market in Chuo-ku due to radish connections (2009, 2012).

Tokyo University of Agriculture, which delivers delicious topics to Chuo-ku as well. I would like to visit Tokyo University of Agriculture's "Food and Agriculture" museum in Setagaya-ku someday.

You can get both at once by mail order!

The opening time of the moon and flowers is 10:00 every morning, and will close as soon as they are sold out. It seems to be sold out at around 13:00 after noon. Please check the official Twitter for information sold out on the day.

For those who find it difficult to line up in Ginza in the morning, we recommend using mail order. Fortunately, you can also buy jumbo meronpan from Kagetsudo on the EC site. After arriving in a frozen state, thaw it on the direction street and rebaked with a toaster to restore the taste of freshly baked goods. Please enjoy the specialties that can be lined up in Ginza and Asakusa at home.
