tonttu

In the residential streets of Asagaya-minami, bakery café tonttu offers dine-in plate sets designed to delight any bread enthusiast. Platters and baskets arrive piled high with a varied selection, ranging from pillowy table loaves to deeply flavorful crusty breads. Reheated before serving, each piece releases the fragrant aroma of toasted wheat, offering distinct textures with every bite. To make things even better, diners can request 1 free bread refill, making it an ideal lunch destination when you want to indulge your appetite.

What elevates the set further is the thoughtful accompaniment of slow-simmered soups and colorful sides. Guests can choose from options such as a rich blue crab bisque, minestrone simmered directly in the bread oven, or seasonal vegetable potages, all delivering steaming flavors that pair naturally with bread. You can spread daily house-made jam or butter across a slice to bring out its sweetness, or stack the daily deli items and salad on top like an open-faced sandwich, enjoying complete freedom in how you eat.

Each set also includes a small after-meal sweet and your choice of drink, from coffee and hot ginger tea to sparkling apple juice, encouraging a quiet, unhurried break. Near the entrance, shelves hold baguettes, sandwich loaves, and red bean butter sandwiches alongside whimsical animal-shaped cookies, making it tempting to pick up something to take home as well. Because seating is limited, allowing extra time is wise if you have your heart set on a lunchtime plate.
