In transit: Kichijoji

There is a bakery not far from our apartment that wafts through the air every time you pass it. It's intoxicating and both Michael and I moan each time we pass by. I looked it up, and they specialise in a baked good called salt bread as well as a baked good called melon pan. Today, our tummies decided we would just get one salt bread and see whether the taste matched the scent.

It was lovely. There was a butteryness to it that was subtle yet impactful. The bread was mega fluffy inside, and the outside had a nice, clear crunch. And at 120 yen ($1.10)... No complaints.

We managed to have no bungles transport wise, swapping between suicas and pasmos comfortably, and getting the right trains on the right platforms on first go, which is great!
