Parlour Ekoda

By experimenting creatively using ever-evolving mixes of locally-sourced ingredients, Parlour Ekoda creates delicious and fresh out-of-the-ordinary breads and pastries in the comfort of a cozy, retro, and vibrant interior setting. This European-style bakery-cum-cafe is nothing short of marvelous. Also known as “Pan Mania” by the locals (“pan” meaning bread in Japanese), owner Koji Harada’s local cafe and occasional wine bar attracts a stream of customers from day through to night. Not only are their pastries worth the special trip down the Seibu Line, but Parlour Ekoda’s sandwiches are also a must-try. Wash it all down with a freshly-brewed cup of espresso coffee, which is the best selling drink on their extensive menu.
