Awhile back, my friend Kazumi shared a black sesame seed bagel with me.She didn't know what the name of the bakery was, but she knew where they were located, so the last time we got together for lunch, she took me there.
Unfortunately, by the time we got there (about 15:30), they were sold out for the day.
So, after French class last Tuesday, I caught the subway to Nishiohashi and went to check out Boulangerie P & B.

This tiny, tiny bakery is run by a young couple. The place is so small that when you walk in the door, you are already up against their counter.Arriving at noon (about 1 hour after their opening time), they had already sold out of their baguette.
I think their items are popular and quantities very (VERY) limited.
I had wanted "pairs" of bagels, but they didn't have any (though I should have asked), so I bought 1 black sesame bagel 200 yen (about US$2), 1 blueberry bagel 150 yen (about US$1.50) & 1 bagel dog 300 yen (about US$3).

The bagel dog is only about 5 inches long, the sausage inside is very thick. The casing of the sausage has a nice snap and there are spices in it that make it quite spicy, leaving a slow burn on and around your mouth. The bagel is nice and chewy. When I purchased it I thought it might need some type of condiment, but it didn't. The sausage is very flavorful, if not a bit too salty. I would definitely get this again.
The next morning, I was surprised when I sliced the blueberry bagel in half and some cream cheese fell out.
The sesame bagel was smaller but was packed with lots of black sesame seeds.
Both were very good. I liked the nuttiness and chewiness of the black sesame, while Satoshi liked the softer texture of the blueberry bagel.
I wouldn't mind going back to get more bagels and maybe to try some of their other baked items.

Bagel dog? Interesting... Do you think they boiled them with the franks inside?
Looks tasty and sounds affordable too... Around where I live, bagels are a novelty item and you pay ridiculous prices for barely decent bagels.
I love trying out new bakeries, sounds like you got some great items! That's interesting that the one bagel had chunks of cream cheese in it...hmm.
Those bagel dogs look so yummy!
I think they may have boiled it with the sausage in there Alesa :)
The cream cheese surprised me K :)
Thanks Jenn, different but delicious :)
Take care everyone!
