The lineup includes over 40 types of bread, including the "Kouign Amann Orange," a Yurakucho-exclusive bread made with plenty of butter, combined with orange peel and caramelized to a crisp.
Gourmet Brands Company, Ltd., a group company of Create Restaurants Holdings Inc., will open the bakery "JEAN FRANÇOIS" on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, on the first basement floor of Yurakucho Itocia.
Boulangerie Jean-François is a bakery that carries on the techniques and spirit of Jean-François Le Mercier, a chef who has received the French National Best Craftsman Award. In order to make the most of the flavor of the ingredients, they are particular about everything from the ingredients used, including wheat from France and various other regions, to the baking methods.
Since opening its first store in Omotesando in 2005, Jean-François has been carefully cultivating its sourdough starter, fermented using natural forces, for over 20 years. At the Yurakucho store, we offer over 40 types of bread, including Yurakucho-exclusive items such as our "Baguette," made with French wheat, Guérande salt, and sourdough starter, which is slowly aged at a low temperature for three days to bring out a fragrant crust and a rich flavor that spreads with every bite; our "Croissant," which combines the milky taste of French fermented butter with the deep richness of sourdough starter; and our "Kouign-amann Orange," made with buttery dough, liqueur-soaked orange peel, and a crispy, caramelized almond topping. Enjoy the unique taste of Jean-François, all baked in our in-store workshop.
