What is "Mou"?

Japanese shokupan bread loaves on a wooden plate

At Bread, Espresso &, we’re proud to introduce

the heart of our menu, the iconic “Mou” bread.

Crafted with care by Executive Chef Sakurai Tadatsugu,

“Mou” - meaning “soft” in French -

has become synonymous with our brand

since its inception in Tokyo’s Omotesando district in 2009.

What Makes “Mou” Special?

The “Mou” bread is a distinct cube-shaped loaf

celebrated for its buttery flavor, pillowy interior,

and delightfully crisp exterior.

Each bite offers a harmonious contrast of textures,

making it perfect for both indulgent moments and everyday enjoyment.
