Johan Ginza Shop

Located on the second basement floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi, Johan Ginza (ジョアン 銀座店) is a bustling bakery where the aroma of freshly baked bread naturally draws in passersby. Among the displays, the standout draw is the Ginza Chocolate Bread, which regularly sees shoppers lining up to catch a batch fresh from the oven. Its rich aroma wafts from thick swirls of chocolate worked throughout the dough, marrying moist crumb with deep cacao flavor. It can be enjoyed straight away for its soft, tender bite, or lightly toasted the next morning to crisp up the crust and melt the chocolate within.

Another enduring favorite is the bakery's mini croissants, sold by weight and easy to pick up by the bagful. The shelves offer an extensive variety of loaves to brighten everyday meals, from fluffy butter rolls and sweetcorn bread to syrup-soaked maple bread. Beyond sweet pastries, the selection includes everyday sandwich loaves like pain carré, crusty hard toast, and creative pairings such as orange and cream cheese rolls that highlight a subtle citrus bitterness.

Operating as a self-service takeout counter, the shop makes it simple to stop by during a commute or while browsing the department store. Payment can be made with credit cards or NFC contactless mobile payment methods. Whether visiting specifically for a signature loaf or taking time to browse the trays for whatever suits your mood, picking out items to bring home is an enjoyable stop in Ginza.
