Rue Brazil in Hiroshima bakes its own bread beside the coffee counter, and that house loaf is the base of its long-running 07:00 morning set.
Tip: House bread is sold at the front counter as well as served with the morning set, but the best loaves go early.
Worth the queue: Morning-set bread with boiled egg and salad
Bakery¥otemachiDaily 9:30-20:00Breads from Hiroshima-grown wheat and rice flour
LUCKY BAKERY is the Gate Park shop of Miyoshi baker Mugi Mugi, milling mostly Hiroshima-grown wheat into loaves, rice-flour breads and vegan rolls.
Tip: It opened with the park in March 2023 and runs every day of the year; the salt-kombu and daikon rice-flour breads sell through by evening.
Worth the queue: Hand-kneaded campagne

WILDMAN BAGEL boils and bakes about 20 kinds of oversized bagel near Peace Memorial Park, all raised on the shop's own homemade levain starter.
Tip: It regularly sells out before the posted 18:00 close, so treat it as a morning stop and carry the bagels to the park benches over the river.

Bakery¥9:00-19:30, closed Wednesday and one Thursday a monthOver 40 daily breads plus a patisserie counter
La Angers bakes more than 40 breads a day beside a patisserie counter a minute from Yasuhigashi Station, with the ramune anpan as its calling card.
Tip: It is an Astram Line ride from the centre, so pair it with a suburban morning; the ramune anpan tray empties well before the evening rush.
Worth the queue: Ramune anpan
