There is a cute little bakery near my English conversation school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi, and my home in Tsukaguchi, Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is called Feinbrot. They make absolutely delicious croissants and other things there. I love going there on Sunday mornings, picking up some croissants and pastries, then biking back home to have them with my wife. We brew some nice coffee (from Starbucks Coffee) and enjoy everything while listening to music and chatting. It really is a lovely way to start our day off.
Everything we’ve had there has been delicious. We especially like the almond croissant, which has a truly amazing taste and contains macadamia nuts. We also enjoy croissants with chocolate inside and some pastries with custard filling. I usually choose one that has sliced strawberries on top. With custard filling inside, it’s a real delight!
At the bakery, the woman I see at the cash register(who looks like an owner) is friendly. I recently introduced a student of Smith’s Tsukaguchi School to the shop. My student thanked me and so did the woman at the bakery. My wife and I love croissants and pastries, and we really appreciate having a place like this located near our home in Tsukaguchi! We are happy to recommend this bakery to others!

Derek- My favourite thing in Japan is all the great fresh baked goods, especially breads. It’s great you have found a nice local bakery you like so much. I also have a little local bakery across from my school in Ohtsu. The bakery is called “Hiro” and the owner (Hiro-san) is a really nice guy. We have a nice supportive relationship- he keeps my Smith’s School of English Ohtsu flyers on the counter of the bakery, and i (like you) send students there for snacks, as well as buying my lunch there often. Furthermore, one of his staff members is going to Canada soon, and may join our school prior to leaving.
I always enjoy going in to Hiro for lunch, a snack, or just a friendly chat! (It helps me with studying Japanese as well!)
Next time i’m in Tsukaguchi, i’ll definitely try some baked goods at Feinbrot!

Edward,
Thanks for your comment. I am glad that you have found a nice little bakery near your school. The relationship with the owner you have may get you students and this is a great way to promote your school.
By the way, I recently tried a new croissant with white chocolate and raisins inside. It was amazing! You might want to try it! Oh and the shop opens at 7:30am. The other day, I went soon after they opened. The chocolate in a chocolate croissant that I ate was still melted! Now that’s fresh! Delicious!
