Tokyo Guide : Amam Dacotan
Following the success of its sister shop I’m Donut – known for its wide selection of sweet and savoury doughnuts and legendary long queues – Fukuoka-born Amam Dacotan has finally opened up shop in Omotesando.
Have you ever tried Japanese bread? I’m a huge bread lover, to the point where my family finds it a bit ridiculous, but one bakery I’ve been eyeing for a while is Amam Dacotan. The original store is in Fukuoka and is a sister shop of the popular “I’m Donut,” which still has long lines to this day. Recently, they opened a location in Tokyo, so I had to check it out.
This bakery gained fame during the maritozzo boom in Japan, making beautiful renditions of the traditional Italian pastry filled with fresh cream and various toppings. The Omotesando store, which is so photogenic it hardly feels like a bakery, offers over 140 different freshly baked items every day. One of the most popular items is the “Dacotan Burger,” packed with plenty of purple cabbage and homemade sausage.
While many customers opt for takeout, there are about five tables outside where you can enjoy your treats on-site with a drink. However, I stood in line for about 30 minutes before the shop opened on a weekday, and online reviews mention wait times of up to one to two hours, so I recommend arriving early!
