Motomachi Bon Pan [Mimi's World Tour]

Style: Japanese
Price: $$ 

This small corner bakery was my next stop in fairly bakery-rich Motomachi. The baked goods are  simple, mostly soft, well-priced sweet and savoury buns and sliced bread with quite a few unique deep-fried treats that I hadn't really seen elsewhere.
One of these was the fried bread, a.k.a. the "crunchy doughnut" (130 yen), a sort of French toast that was unexpectedly stuffed with custard (and here I was thinking at first it was unbaked dough XD). I liked the texture of the bread that was nicely fried and well, crunchy on the outside with its dusting of sugar and soft inside. The custard was a little thick and there was quite a bit of it once you got into the middle, but it was good in taste.

Nothing necessarily fancy or one-of-a-kind, but one of the better bakeries in Hakodate.
