La Pan

When you are looking for an easy loaf to anchor weekday breakfasts or an afternoon snack, La Pan in Itabashi 2-chome is a handy stop. The bakery's signature shokupan is crafted without eggs or yeast food, yielding a moist, soft loaf celebrated for its gentle sweetness and creamy mouthfeel. Loaves come in three sizes—S (1 loaf unit), M (1.5 loaf units), and L (2 loaf units)—making it just as simple to pick up the right amount for one person to finish without waste as it is to supply a whole household.

Beyond the plain shokupan, the bakery rolls out varied flavors such as its "Jewelry Box" series, studded with add-ins like raisins, cheese, or chestnuts. For something savory, the bacon-cheese loaf is a popular pick, alongside daily rotating specials, crunchy rusks suited for casual gifting, and jars of jam designed to complement the bread.

All items are sold for takeaway, making it easy to grab what you need even when pressed for time. PayPay is accepted at the register, serving well for both everyday table bread and casual edible souvenirs.
