When you think of Tsukiji, fresh seafood probably comes to mind first. But did you know this bustling market area also hides a treasure for bread lovers? Nestled on the first floor of the popular Italian restaurant “Tsukiji Bon Marché” is a delightful deli and bar serving up a must-try treat: the Saga Beef Curry Bread.
This deli offers freshly made breads and deli items straight from the restaurant’s kitchen. The star of the show? A luxurious curry bread made with 100% premium Saga beef from a contracted farm. The rich, savory flavor of the beef pairs perfectly with the spicy curry filling—an absolute delight for the taste buds.
Fresh Out of the Fryer
The moment I received my freshly fried curry bread, I was greeted by an irresistible aroma. The crust was light and crispy, and with the first bite, a thick, flavorful curry filling oozed out. The sweetness and umami of the beef deepened with every chew, harmonizing beautifully with the spices. Honestly, it felt less like a snack and more like a gourmet dish—imagine a rich Saga beef curry lovingly wrapped in a golden, crunchy shell.
A Perfect Companion for a Tsukiji Stroll
You’ll find the shop right at the entrance intersection of the Tsukiji Outer Market. It’s the perfect grab-and-go bite while exploring the lively market streets. I couldn’t resist and ate one while walking around—on a chilly day, the warmth of the freshly fried bread was just what I needed.
Despite being a quick snack, it’s incredibly satisfying—ideal for breakfast or a midday pick-me-up. It’s easy to see why this curry bread is beloved not only by tourists but also by locals.
Curry bread is a uniquely Japanese creation, blending Western-style bread with Indian-inspired curry. And this version, packed with the rich flavor of Saga beef, might just be the new must-try gourmet item in Tsukiji. If you’re exploring the market, be sure to try this delicious local specialty with you!
