01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Strolling into the quiet residential backstreets of Sengoku in Bunkyo Ward brings you to the neighborhood bakery Deu Nouveau (デゥ・ヌーボー). Inside the compact shop, trays packed with warm, handmade breads create an approachable atmosphere that naturally welcomes visitors stopping by for lunch or in the middle of a walk.
If you are looking for a filling lunch, the hearty special katsu sandwich is a dependable option. Classic savory breads are well represented—including a shrimp cutlet roll with tartar sauce, fragrant curry bread, and coarse-ground sausage buns—making it easy and enjoyable to pick out casual favorites. For sweet choices, highlights include the fresh cream anpan, where gently sweet red bean paste pairs with smooth cream, and chocolate croissants with a crisp, pleasant pastry texture.
The round Camembert cheese bread features a cheese-filled center encased in French bread dough that is not overly hard, and lightly toasting it at home to warm the cheese through is another satisfying way to eat it. Everyday table breads such as sandwich loaves, walnut bread, and cheese bread are also readily available at approachable prices.
The bakery is a modest, takeout-focused storefront that operates on cash only, but its straightforward, comforting flavors provide an easy everyday treat.
