Brioche

To me, Brioche is hard and dry ...so, it's hard to say I like it. I was in NYC two weeks ago, I found the very nice and tasty Brioche there. " Balducci's" was very close to my hotel I stayed. I usually don't buy Brioche, because of my image. But the one they sell looked different, and I bought one as my breakfast... The taste, texture and appearance looked different that I know. Soon I ate it, I became like it a lot. I went to the store to get a cup of coffee and the Brioche most of the morning while I was there. Since I came back to Japan, I kept thinking about it:)  Unfortunately, NYC is very far from Tokyo, I can't go there to get only Brioche. I decided to find the similar one in Tokyo!!!

Two days ago, I went to 5 or 6 bakery shops to find a Brioche after work. Only three bakeries were selling it. 

I got one at "dominique saibron". The shop is in Ginza Mitsukoshi. A plain Brioche was sold out, so I got the Brioche with black truffle. The size was similar to the one at Balducci's, but the texture and the taste was different. Mmm...next!

This is the one I got at "DALLOYAU." The size is so small, but it costs a lot :( I knew this is different from Balducci's when I holded it with the tongs. Anyway, I tasted it, and my guess was right. The taste is different, and the bread is pretty hard and dry. Next!

Last one was from Johan.  The size is small. The texture is a bit similar to Balducci's, but the taste is not the one I expected.

 I could not find the similar one this time. But I will not give up to find the good one in Tokyo. My journey will go on!
