Knot

Set along a street in Hatchobori, Knot catches the eye with an extensive lineup of baked goods running from everyday table breads to inventive meal-sized pastries. Heartier appetites are rewarded by creative savory options such as a burger stuffed with stewed pork belly and lentils or a flavorful shrimp curry bun. Naturally, traditional favorites like flaky croissants and crusty baguettes demonstrate the bakery's command of dough and fermentation, making them dependable choices for home dining.

The sweet breads and baked treats similarly highlight the character of their ingredients. Guests can choose from a lightly sweetened apple kouign-amann that lets the fruit and pastry shine, pistachio cream rolls, carefully baked scones, or classic anpan red bean buns. Black coffee and cafe lattes are also prepared at the counter, offering an easy pairing to take away.

Operating strictly as a takeaway bakery with no eat-in seating, Knot is open daily—including weekends—from 10:00 to 18:00. It is an easy stop whether picking up a weekday lunch or gathering breakfast and afternoon treats for the weekend.
