Sugoi Pan Street in Urawa PARCONov 7–8
Urawa PARCO is bringing together bakeries that usually draw lines at their own shops for a two-day market called Sugoi Pan Street in Urawa PARCO (すごいパンストリート in 浦和PARCO). It is the second time the event has been held, after a well-received first edition last year.
Most of the shops are from Saitama, a prefecture known for growing wheat, and many of them are particular about their ingredients and methods: Saitama-grown wheat, their own flour blends, long fermentation. This year there is also a special focus on two breads born in Japan, cream bread (クリームパン) and anpan (あんぱん), with a display explaining what makes each one different.
The catch is that the lineup changes by day. Below you will find who comes when, where to find cream bread and anpan, and how to get the limited bagel bag.

Cream bread and anpan: who sells what
Cream bread is a soft bun filled with custard cream; anpan is filled with sweet red bean paste. Both are everyday Japanese breads, but the filling, the dough and the baking change a lot from shop to shop. That is the idea behind this year’s theme: walk around and compare.
| Shop | Day | Cream bread | Anpan |

| Cream LAB | Both days | Yes | – |
| ZOPF | Both days | Yes | Yes |

Sugoi Bagel Bag: 30 per day

| Sun, Nov 8 | maru bagel / WA Bagel / GEs BAGEL WORKS |
| Price | 2,800 yen for 5 bagels (tax included) |
|---|---|

| Where | Sold at the venue on the day |
| Payment | Cash or PayPay |
Tips before you go
- Pick your day by shop. Most bakeries come on Saturday only or Sunday only. Sourdough fans may lean toward Sunday for Bake House Yellowknife; anpan fans who want ROXIE need Saturday.
- Plan around the Bagel Bag. With only 30 bags a day sold on site, it makes sense to head there first if it is your main target.
- Bring some cash. Cash and PayPay are confirmed only for the Bagel Bag. Payment options at the other stalls are not announced, so do not count on cards. If you are still sorting out cashless payments in Japan, see which credit card foreigners in Japan can get first.
- Bring a bag that keeps bread flat. Cream-filled and soft breads crush easily.
- Check the official page on the day. The lineup and details may change without notice.
