About this place
In Yonbancho, Chiyoda Ward, many guests visit No.4 for its signature yudane brioche French toast. Prepared using a scalded-flour yudane dough method, the bread delivers a crisp exterior against an airy, custardy crumb, accented neatly by a scoop of salted whipped cream that balances richness with mild salinity. Those looking for a hearty morning meal can opt for the French toast combo, which pairs the sweet bread with savory bacon, fried eggs, and a dressed green salad on a single plate.
Beyond French toast, the bakery foundation supports a broad savory selection, including croque monsieurs, avocado toasts, and hot pastrami sandwiches packed with tender cuts. From lunchtime on, the kitchen turns to wood-fired pizzas like Margherita and Quattro Formaggi, alongside steak cuts like hanging tender (beef sagari), making the café equally suited to an unhurried dinner over wine or beer. The counter showcase features takeaway loaves such as yudane croissants and focaccia, alongside lemon Basque cheesecake and small baked goods.
Open from 8:00 until 20:00, the café offers flexible seating options between an inviting terrace and a warm, wood-accented dining room. Morning and weekend hours can become busy, so visitors often make use of the on-site ticketing queue system or plan their trip with extra time to spare.
