Yummy bagels

Something that is very important to me is supporting small, local businesses. Most small businesses have better products and they really care about their customers. We can ask their advice how to use something and even tell them our ideas.

Near my house is a specialist bagel cafe that opened almost 2 years ago. I've been going there all that time, and the quality is still very good. The owners are a lovely young couple who are really friendly and try to make lots of new flavors.

My favorite bagels to eat plain are the cinnamon and raisin ones. Try cutting them in half horizontally and putting them in an oven toaster :)



For sandwiches, the cafe will prepare salmon and cream cheese with salad. Yum!

At home, my most delicious sandwich so far was a bagel with dried figs. Inside I put freshly cooked sasami chicken and Camembert cheese.....

Or how about a hot ham steak and a ring of pineapple (both cooked in a non-stick fry pan) sandwiched in a wholemeal bagel? :)

To get there, going south on Nishi-odori, at the Anderson Bakery corner turn right. (Between Tsukuba Bank and the condominium.) Go west. Pass Couronne Bakery on the left. Pass Family Mart on the right. On the left you can find Matsushiro Dental Clinic, then a ramen shop (Kimura?). Then you can find a small hot dog cafe. The car park for the hot dog cafe is the same for the bagel cafe. It is across from Katsuragi Animal Clinic. And if you get to Seven Eleven, you went too far.

The cafe opens at 11am and closes when all the bagels are sold, or at 6pm. Thursdays are holidays.

If you want to give bagels as a gift, they have boxes to pack them in :)
