Birthplace of anpan

Kimuraya-ya Main Store in Ginza is the flagship location of Japan’s oldest bakery, renowned for its invention of anpan—a sweet bread filled with red bean paste. Situated on Ginza's bustling Chuo-dori, the multi-floor building combines a retail bakery, café, and restaurants all using in-house baked bread. With roots tracing back to a 19th-century samurai founder, Kimuraya stands as both a culinary landmark and a piece of history.
