It’s hard to come by a bakery in Tokyo that spins out good ‘ol American classics such as corn bread, apple pie, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, bagels and carrot cake with cream cheese icing. But that’s exactly what you’ll get at Kyle’s Good Finds. A Nakano staple for over 30 years, this small but digilent bakery is run by American-turned-Tokyoite Kyle Sexton, a self-taught baker who’s been sharing his home-baked goods with locals in-the-know.
While fresh bakes are the store’s bread and butter, keep an eye out for seasonal specials over Christmas and American Thanksgiving, as Kyle also whips up classic dinner bentos for those missing that taste of home. For instance, you might find turkey with stuffing, mac and cheese, collard greens and cranberry sauce on the holiday menu.
