You now have another excuse to visit Meiji Park, Tokyo’s new urban greenspace, as Parklet Bakery and fried chicken specialists Baby J's have just opened up together there in the form of a new food hub called Meiji Park Market.
The ‘market’ is like a giant cafeteria that you can use to eat, drink and rest. One of the two main shops in the building is Parklet and Parklet Kiosk, a two-pronged offshoot of the bakery-café in Nihonbashi that specialises in sourdough bread and sustainable coffee. At this new location you can enjoy the shop's popular open-faced sandwiches, ice cream, and a well-curated selection of coffee and natural wine.
The other half of Meiji Park Market is dedicated to Baby J's, a buttermilk fried chicken specialist from Sapporo. The signature item to try here is the fried chicken sandwich, made with crispy fried chicken and slaw all packed into a soft and chewy bun.
