Welcome to Sakura Delica Kumamoto

Hello, fellow travelers!
I’m a bread-loving, aromatherapy-obsessed writer for Sarukuma (*^-^*)

Today I’m taking you to Seyasu-machi, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City, to visit
“Sakura Delica Kumamoto Store” — a brand-new artisan bakery that’s been creating buzz across the city.

This bakery launched two stores simultaneously — one in Kumamoto City and one in Yatsushiro, so I rushed straight over to the Seyasu-machi location in Chuo-ku.
You’ll find Sakura Delica on the second floor of L’CIELMO Kumamoto, a beautiful and well-known wedding venue.

Drive south along Route 3 and you’ll spot the parking sign on your left ♪

Since it was opening day, security guards were on duty to help guide visitors.

From there, just walk straight into L’CIELMO Kumamoto.

You’ll pass beautifully manicured gardens on the way to the parking lot (*^-^*)
Because it’s a wedding venue, there’s a huge lot with nearly 200 parking spaces!

No need to circle the block looking for parking — a real relief when you’re driving in for fresh bread.

Now let’s head from the parking lot to the entrance ♪

The grand entrance feels luxurious — it really sets a special mood as you step inside.
Let’s go in — I can hardly contain my excitement!

Here’s the entrance.

On the first floor, you’ll have your temperature checked and hands sanitized before heading up to the second floor ♪

This is what greets you at the top of the stairs.
Elegant — exactly what you’d expect from a wedding venue!
Wedding venues always lift my spirits 💛

Once you reach the second floor, turn right!
Walk on with fresh anticipation, and you’ll find…

…this charming sign — and just past it is where you can buy the bread.

Numbered tickets were handed out on opening day, and
by 11:10 a.m. the English Bread (large 2-loaf size) had already SOLD OUT!!! Incredible (^^♪

Given the times, it’s reassuring that you can pre-order in advance and skip long waits (*^-^*)
I was able to make my purchase comfortably while keeping social distance ♪

Sakura Delica Kumamoto’s Must-Try Menu

Two signature loaves: ENGLISH BREAD
and PULLMAN BREAD.

Pre-orders kept rolling in one after another.
One customer even bought eight bags!!!

I made my pre-order too ♪
With a reservation in hand, there’s no need to rush — such a stress-free way to shop.

First up — let me try the ENGLISH BREAD!

A simple shokupan (Japanese-style sandwich loaf) finished with salt and butter.
It lets you taste the wheat flour’s flavor directly and purely.

1-loaf size: 460 yen (excl. tax)
2-loaf size: 900 yen (excl. tax)

Just look at that beautifully fine crumb ♡
And here’s something this aroma-loving girl has always wanted to try!

Behold!!

Allow me to give you a play-by-play of pulling this loaf apart with my bare hands (haha)!

Ooooooooh!!

The crust is firm and crispy on the outside,
but inside it’s airy, soft, and pulls apart like a dream — just look (⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡

I couldn’t stop smiling — pure satisfaction!

I tried it raw first — straight out of the bag!
You really do taste a gentle saltiness, with a clean bite and a wonderfully light melt.

I wondered how that subtle salt note would taste toasted,
so I popped it straight into the toaster ♪

And yes — this is exactly my style (haha)!
Crisp, light, and the aroma blooms with every bite!

If you love hard-crust bread or crispy textures, this one’s for you.
Lightly toasted with a coffee in hand — absolute heaven.
I’m partial to olive oil, and it pairs beautifully too.

Butter works wonderfully, of course, but this loaf is so flavorful you can enjoy it plain ( *´艸｀)

Next up — the PULLMAN BREAD

The label describes it as soft right up to the crust, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality taken to the extreme.
1-loaf size: 460 yen (excl. tax)
2-loaf size: 900 yen (excl. tax)

Just touching it tells you everything — pillowy and bouncy.
Another beauty ♡

Time to tear this Pullman loaf apart too!

Whoooosh — it pulls apart in the softest, fluffiest way (haha)!

The crust is so tender that I almost missed my photo timing — it tears apart that easily ( *´艸｀)

Thanks for following along — pure satisfaction (*^-^*) ♡

Look at that fine crumb structure and the way it curves so gently as it tears ♪
Soft and pillowy no matter where you press ♡

Compared side by side: the English Bread has a definite saltiness,
while the Pullman is bouncy-soft with a gentle, almost dreamy sweetness
that melts on your tongue 💛

Toasted, the sweetness blooms in the air and lingers on the palate.
The outside turns lightly crisp while the inside grows even softer — almost no chewing required (haha)!

That signature melt-in-your-mouth quality
comes from a uniquely curated blend of carefully selected wheat flours.
Honestly, it’s a divine recipe 🤩.

The mastermind behind this magical blend is
Yuki Sato of “BROT HAUS,”
a beloved bakery in Chuo-ku, Kumamoto, who supervised the recipe ✨

That alone is a guarantee of unforgettable deliciousness!

The fresh-baked, fluffy softness is the result
of an original flour blend crafted with skill 😊

You can savor the true, pure flavor of shokupan to your heart’s content.

As of February 1st, reservations are taken by phone, with pickup at either
L’CIELMO Kumamoto or L’CIELMO Yatsushiro.

Right next to the bakery is a cozy café space.

DRINK MENU (tax included)
Coffee (ICE/HOT), Cocoa (ICE/HOT), Royal Milk Tea — 150 yen
Café Latte (ICE/HOT), Café Mocha (ICE/HOT) — 200 yen

A stylish space where you can pick up your bread and enjoy a relaxing café break ♪
