Donq: My favorite chain bakery, 100 years in the making!

Founded in 1905, Donq is my favorite chain bakery found across Japan in department stores and stations. 

I’m not much of a sweet tooth so I always get either their baguette or calzone, but if you’re looking for a dessert pastry, I would recommend their signature melon bread. It’s a flat sweet bun with sugar crystals embedded on the exterior for a delightfully sweet crunch in every bite. 

Especially when they’re breads are freshly-baked and straight out of the oven…it’s simply irresistible!
