Johan

Occupying a corner of basement floor 1 in the Nihombashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, Johan presents a broad selection spanning daily table breads to casual afternoon treats. The takeaway-only counter stocks sturdy crusty loaves like baguettes and bâtards that highlight the flavor of wheat, alongside tender salted butter rolls that offer dependable simplicity. Loaves such as boules with a fragrant crust and fluffy interior, or petit bâtards well-suited to slicing for sandwiches, give shoppers versatile options tailored to breakfast or dinner menus.

For something sweet or a simple souvenir gift, the signature mini croissants sold by weight are a longstanding favorite. In addition to flaky, butter-rich plain versions, chocolate-filled croissants can be purchased in whatever quantity or weight you prefer. Other popular bakes include moist, fluffy chocolate bread with ribbons of chocolate throughout, sweet corn bread with pronounced kernel sweetness, and fragrant brown sugar rolls, all of which regularly draw shoppers watching for fresh batches coming out of the ovens.

Savory options feature cheese bread and bacon épi meant to be enjoyed warm, alongside ready-made sandwiches convenient for a quick lunch. The register accepts credit cards as well as contactless mobile payments, making the bakery an easy stop to pick up loaves for home or mid-day snacks while shopping in Nihombashi.
