One of LA’s Most Popular Barbecue Spots Is Smoking Up a Storm in Pasadena - Eater LA

"It’s nearly impossible to improve upon the fluffy loaves of shokupan from Ginza Nishikawa, but that doesn’t stop the Japanese brand from trying. The newest truffle loaf debuts on October 17 and is only available in limited quantities (20 to 30 loaves per day) at the Santa Monica location." - Cathy Chaplin

LA’s Latest Hot-Ticket Food Item Is a Plush Loaf of Japanese Bread Baked in a Ghost Kitchen - Eater LA

"When high-end Japanese shokupan (milk bread) bakery Ginza Nishikawa opened its first U.S. location in a Los Angeles ghost kitchen this past July, the $18 loaves sold out almost immediately, every day, through an online ordering system. The milk bread craze may have something to do with Ginza Nishikawa’s popularity in Japan. Made with alkaline-ionized water, Canadian wheat flour milled in Japan, cream, butter, and honey, the recipe yields a golden-crusted loaf that’s silky and cloud-like in texture with just a hint of sweetness." - Jean Trinh

This review is only on the bread as it was a X’mas gift. At first I didn’t understand how on earth a loaf of bread can cost $18 and being packaged as a gift? Well, I followed the instruction on best way to enjoy it. I finished 1/2 loaf in December and froze the other 1/2. Now it’s January, I took out the other 1/2 and let it defrost on its own over the counter, then sliced a thick slice, gently toasted and enjoyed it daily. Now, I’m eating the last piece. 😢 This is by far the BEST bread I have ever had!!! It’s unbelievable how well it freezes and it tastes as good as fresh! It is worth every dollar of it. I would get more except there is only one location and it very far. 🥲 I will put it on my wishlist to Santa.🧑‍🎄

The bread itself is pretty good. The best version of white bread you can get. If that’s your thing, go for it. Would I pay $20 again to eat it? Depends. I think it makes a good gift or party pleaser. But I wouldn’t pay just for myself. Keep in mind there’s only metered street parking in the area, helps if someone can stay in the car and you just go out to pick up. The store is part of a shared kitchen called Colony.

It is more than just a milked bread. Well, even though it is hard to get, and it is very expensive, but, for bread lover, Ginza Nishikawa's milk bread is a must try, at least once in a while. In Japan, it is called shokupan and it is made with special ingredients. The best way to enjoy the bread is - eat fresh without topping for the first day, adding toppings on the second and toast it after. It should be good for a few days.

The best version bread loaf you can get with a pretty high price… worth trying though. Is it possible to have a branch store in SF bay area, PLEASE?

I finally bought it. There is a pick-up point in the Chinese area. I can't stop eating it. It's so delicious. I bought 3 pieces in one go and ate them slowly.

Really good fragrant, soft, fluffy Japanese milk bread. It operates out of a ghost kitchen where you can pickup in person or from your car. Expensive, but worth it once in a while as a treat.

Ginza Nishikawa only sells shokupan, a Japanese milk bread. It is the softest, fluffiest white bread that you will taste. It melts in your mouth. There are no preservatives; ingredients are just ionized water, cream, butter, honey, and Japanese white flour. Sooooo good. It's delicious on its own, or get creative with recipes - french toast, sandwiches, avocado toast... It used to be difficult to get a loaf, like a Black Friday doorbuster, but they seem to have expanded their options so if you can't order in advance, you can also order from Locale and Goldbelly. They also have a limited supply of loaves available for walk-ins. Follow their IG for pop-ups around town. Located inside the Colony; street parking. Highly recommend!
