Sakura Anpan interior is so simple and they keep the old furniture here, feels like old style bakery. 

Since this is my first time visited Sakura Anpan, so I bought some favorite sweet bread flavor. I bought sugar apple sweet bread, chocolate eclair and chocolate sweet bread. 

Sugar Apple Sweet Bread

Eclair

Chocolate Sweet Bread

The sweet bread is awesome, they don't used bread improver so it taste heavy and you will full if you eat 2 or 3 sweet bread. The sugar apple sweet bread is yummy, even the bread little bit hard, but it taste great. The eclair even the presentation is not make me interesting, but it taste great. The chocolate bread, is yummy. But as a chocolate lover, I think I need more chocolate in chocolate bread.
