Tom Sawyer

When choosing a sandwich at Tom Sawyer, look for the fluffy bread and generous fillings. One visitor remembered a sandwich layered with creamy egg and crisp lettuce; another praised the egg sandwich for being packed so full that the filling nearly spilled out. The fish sandwich also earns a recommendation, making it a tempting option for breakfast or a light lunch when you want a sandwich with plenty of filling.

For something sweet, one customer wrote that they could not forget the taste of the orange chocolate bread they ate after a visit to a hot spring. Chocolate orange is also listed among the menu options. On the savoury side, a regular who repeatedly buys the burdock bread likes the contrast of crunchy burdock, sauce and fragrant shiso. If you are torn between sweet and savoury, you could also pick up a dark cherry Danish or focaccia. One customer singled out the focaccia’s flakes of salt, while another found the croissant moist.

One visitor described the sourdough as proper bread and said they returned to buy it on another day. There is pleasure in choosing a little of both the sweet and savoury options, and coffee is available to go with your takeaway. There is no dine-in service, so the bakery is primarily for takeaway. It is in Murasakino Minamifunaokacho, Kita Ward, Kyoto. The bakery opens from 7:00 Wednesday to Sunday, and one visitor found that going early made it easier to choose from the selection.
