01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Standing before the bakery counters, the first thing that catches the eye is the vast array of savoury bakes composed almost like complete bistro dishes. Highlights with striking layers include the namesake Dacotan Burger, a croque madame pairing richly savoury Unzen ham with a soft-boiled egg, and a spicy, aromatic mentaiko pepero-chino baguette. Selections like the deep-fried horse mackerel sandwich with abundant vegetable tartar sauce or the low-temperature-cooked pork fillet cutlet offer all the satisfaction of a full main course, leaving no shortage of lunchtime centrepieces.
Alongside the savoury creations sits a rich spread of sweet pastries and baked confections. Classic cream buns and caramelized canelés share counter space with imaginative pairings such as premium pistachio cream buns, sweet red bean paste with condensed milk butter, and matcha French toast. Many of the sweet bakes are modestly portioned, making it easy to pair a substantial savoury bread with a sweet treat for dessert.
Situated in Kita-Aoyama, Minato Ward, the shop caters to takeaway customers alongside dine-in guests wishing to linger over bread with a cup of coffee. Business hours run from 11:00 to 19:00, with Wednesdays closed. Payment is straightforward, accepting major credit cards, transit IC cards, and mobile methods including PayPay, d-barai, and Rakuten Pay, making it a convenient stop during a busy day.
