About 16 minutes by car from Naha Airport. The Sakaemachi Bakery is a bakery established in a deep local shopping street. This shopping street in Naha, where both old and new stores are churned out, is a deep spot that should be visited at least once, and not just on Kokusai-dori.
Point 1: What is the location of The Sakaemachi Arcade Bakery?
The Sakaemachi Arcade Bakery is located in a shopping district west of Naha, near Asato Station on the Yui Rail. By car, it is only 16 minutes from Naha Airport. It is only 16 minutes from Naha Airport by car, and can be reached quickly from Asahibashi via Kokusai-dori.
The word “deep” is synonymous with this shopping street. The shopping street is so wide that people cannot pass each other, and there are about 38 stores lined up in a row. Some people say that the density of the area resembles the atmosphere of the Passage des Panoramas in Paris.
This bakery, which just opened in March 2023, does not look like it should be located in such a shopping district. The small store, with a frontage of less than a foot, is filled with delicious-looking breads displayed in natural-looking wooden showcases.
In this shopping arcade, where there are many bars called “Sembello” where you can fill up on food for only 1,000 yen, the presence of such an elegant bakery is quite unusual.
But there must be a reason why they dared to open this bakery here.
It is very difficult to explain the location, but you will find it if you aim at this bakery with your back to “Wakuwaku, a child-rearing support center-like gutsuino hiroba” located inside the market.
Point 2: What kind of pastries does “The Sakaemachi Arcade Bakery” make?
The Sakaemachi Arcade Bakery offers bread and pastries, which are divided into two main categories: prepared bread that can be used as a meal and sweet bread.
The most popular sweet is the “Cinnamon Roll. It is made using the hot water method and is moist and glutinous. The cinnamon flavor is light, and the cheese cream on top does a great job. It also contains condensed milk, which is not too sweet.
Once you try it, you will be addicted to its deliciousness.
Other items on the menu include taro bean buns produced in Kanatake Town. Blue Seal Ice Cream also has this on their menu, but the Okinawan taimo is sticky and has a taste like no other.
If you find it, please try it.
There are also baked goods such as round chocolate, brownie, gateau chocolat, pineapple and coconut pie, brown sugar karinto, etc.
The non-fried brown sugar karinto is inexpensive at 180 yen and delicious!
Point 3: What kind of deli bread does “The Sakaemachi Arcade Bakery” have?
The Sakaemachi Arcade Bakery also offers a variety of breads that can be substituted for meals.
Examples include cat’s paw shaped steamed buns (because there are many stray cats in Sakae-machi Market?) ), potato and tuna danish, curry doughnuts, tomato pizza, etc. They all look so good that I can’t decide on just one.
It is inevitable that you end up purchasing several pieces, isn’t it?
