oshima milk bakery

On Sunday, we went to see Satoshi's friend's rakugo performance.

It had been awhile since I went to one of his performances.

My blog archives says the last time was during the pandemic... 

Since we arrived a little early in the area, we walked around.

Love the tiny shops that line the street

We stumbled upon Oshima Milk Bakery...which uses milk from Izu Oshima, an island that is part of Tokyo prefecture.  

They have a tsubaki (camellia) festival that I want to check out, hopefully next year.

Order at the counter and pay...
Satoshi had their shio pan (salt bread) and milk...630 yen (tax included)

He said he enjoyed these...
Kat had their pistachio scone...500 yen (tax included)

I enjoyed this.

It had lots of pistachios in it and had a nice texture, I think they use yeast in it so it was more like bread, than flaky (buttery)

They had about 10 different types of scones to choose from.

My tummy doesn't agree with milk these days, so I didn't want  to chance it...this shop sells different flavored milks.

Up on the 2nd floor you can take your items to eat
We enjoyed their air conditioning while we ate and also looked at their photos of Izu Oshima

I'm glad we tried this place and would definitely like to try other scones here...I'll be back.

Cute artwork on the bakery building. Do you have any idea what kind of shop that was in your third photo with the "ALOHA" awning?

Amazing you can still drink milk as most Asians are lactose intolerant, more so as we grow out of our teens. A friend had a theory that if you continously drink milk through adult hood but then stop after a long while one develops lactose intolerance. Made sense to me cuz at that time it happened to me and I can't handle regular milk. I love Japan's milk so rich and flavorful. N

Jalna, thank you for telling me, I hadn't even noticed the "aloha" :) it is apparently a clothing shop. Take care, Kat
