Donguri: 4 Popular Bestsellers from the Birthplace of Chikuwa Pan! Available for Nationwide Delivery!
The bakery "Donguri" became known throughout Japan after its "Chikuwa Pan" was featured on a national TV show. If you're visiting Sapporo, you have to stop by. Just stepping into the store is an exciting experience!
The bread from Donguri is beloved by the citizens of Sapporo. As of October 2021, they boast 10 locations in Sapporo and Ebetsu alone, and every single one is constantly bustling with customers.
The secret to their popularity is, without a doubt, the sheer variety. With about 170 different items on display at all times, your heart will skip a beat the moment you walk in. And everything looks so delicious!
Another secret to their success is that every item is handmade at each store. This is why the shops are filled with a wonderful aroma, and you can experience the joy of eating freshly baked bread. They even offer a charming service where they'll swap an item on your tray for one that just came out of the oven.
What made Donguri famous is, of course, the renowned Chikuwa Pan. A chikuwa (a tube-shaped fish cake) is stuffed with a generous amount of tuna salad, and for some reason, it's a perfect match with the bread dough! It's a bestseller you'll never get tired of. Perhaps many of you have tried it while visiting Sapporo?
The Bacon Egg bread captivates many at first sight. As you can see in the photo, the perfectly soft-boiled egg looks like it's about to ooze, making it impossible to resist. Add bacon and a sprinkle of black pepper, and there's no way it isn't delicious!
In terms of visual impact, the Cinnamon Roll has also won the hearts of many dessert lovers. The icing is drizzled on perfectly, and one bite is sure to bring a gentle wave of happiness...
And that's not all—Donguri isn't just about bread. In fact, even more popular than their bread is the Kushi Zangi. They've boldly skewered Zangi, the soul food of Hokkaido residents. Crispy, juicy—it's absolutely perfect.
So, what do you think? Craving some of Donguri's bread now? For those who are thinking, "But I don't live in Sapporo, so I can't just go and get some," we have good news. They freeze the products that didn't sell out at each store, pack them into an assortment, and sell them online as a "Mottainai Set" (a set to prevent waste).
The contents vary by store and day, so please check their official website below for details. Bread lovers living outside of Hokkaido, you won't want to miss this!
