My favorite was the bread with 75% rye, which had a crackly crust and a unique chewiness. It had a great aroma and acidity, characteristic of rye bread. It was delicious even without toasting. I think they could have a place in Umeda specializing in hard bread. I also enjoyed the soft and chewy "koppe" bread, though I felt the dough was a bit on the salty side. Eating too much made my mouth tired from the saltiness. The scones had a hint of margarine flavor.

Thank you for the thoughtful touch.
