Maruyasu Bakery

Take a bite of the melonpan here, and you will notice a delightful departure from the standard sweet bun. Beneath its moderately sweet, crisp, and firmly baked exterior lies a smooth filling of sweet white bean paste (shiro-an). The interplay between the rustic crunch of the crust and the gentle sweetness of the white bean paste creates a harmonious bite, explaining why plenty of visitors return specifically for this creation.

The shelves at Maruyasu Bakery are stocked with approachable, unpretentious breads designed for hearty eating. The savoury selection is particularly generous, ranging from yakisoba pan—where subtly seasoned fried noodles are tucked inside a mildly sweet roll—to satisfying sandwiches built with straightforward ingredients in pleasing balance. Simple egg sandwiches, cucumber and roast beef combinations, and buns topped lavishly with corn and mayonnaise show that the kitchen does not hold back on fillings.

Those craving a sweet treat can pick up dense, satisfying French toast with a nicely browned surface, crunchy twisted pastries, or nostalgic Siberia, which sandwiches soft red bean paste between slices of castella sponge cake. Light, non-greasy shiopan (salted butter rolls) and well-stuffed curry bread also make effortless choices for everyday breakfasts and lunches.

Doors open bright and early at 7:00, with a varied spread lining the cases from the morning hours. The shop is strictly takeaway with no dine-in seating, and cashless QR payments including PayPay and Rakuten Pay are accepted. It makes an ideal spot to drop by and fill a bag with fresh bakes before strolling around Kita-Koiwa or heading out for the day.
