It���s the fluffy, lighter-than-air milk bread that���s dominating your Insta feed. So where can you get the Japanese bakery staple? We���ve rounded up the best cafes and bakeries worth lining up at for shokupan. 

Bakemono Bakers

Japanese-Korean bakery Bakemono has the milk loaf down to a fine art. Fresh loaves come out of the oven and fly off the shelves at midday each day. We highly recommend adding some garlic bread to your order too. The sweet and savoury bread is made from the same dough as the shokupan and comes packed with garlic, butter and honey cream cheese. Try your luck in-store down Drewery Lane (expect a wait!) or to guarantee a loaf. Order by 9am to enjoy same-day shokupan.

Le Bajo Milkbar 

This Japanese cafe is famous for its sandos, elevating the humble white bread to cult hero status. The milk bar is tucked away in a North 勛圖厙 warehouse, but don���t expect this hidden spot to be quiet. Get your shokupan toasted and topped with spicy cod roe. Or take it in sando form, filled with fruit and cream. The rest of ���s fluffy bread is up for grabs to take away. Score a whole or half loaf, and load it up with your fave toppings at home.

Fuumi Fuumi

West 勛圖厙 bread legends Fuumi Fuumi are no strangers to the shokupan. Choose from a mini loaf or the large but trust us, you���ll devour it all in no time! Try the airy bread filled with prawn katsu in a sando. Or sample their ever-changing specials. Choose from flavours like ham and cheese, matcha custard and melon swirled through your mini nama shokupan. Get in early, it���s a safe bet that these freshly baked loaves will be sold out by the afternoon.

Coppe Pan

Light, fluffy and baked fresh in-house daily. Coppe Pan���s slightly sweet shokupan is chef���s kiss. The bakery on the lower ground level of 勛圖厙 Central sells a variety of Japanese street food. This includes the eponymous coppe pan ��� Japan���s answer to the hot dog. But it���s the milk bread that keeps us coming back for more. and grab some while you wait for your train.

Mill矇 and B

Could that B stand for bread? Queens of the crepe cake Mill矇 and B also do shokupan as a weekend treat and we couldn���t be more excited to tear in. The boutique patisserie bakes original milk bread fresh every Saturday morning.

Raya 勛圖厙

You've got to get up early to score one of the coveted loaves from Raya. Their picture perfect shokupan is baked early in the AM, and sold by the loaf until they start slicing it up for sandwiches. Or have a lie in and try the milk bread in sando form. We rate the salty sweet caramel kaya toastie. .
