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.

My #1 recommendation
"Kouign-amann Orange"
This rich and decadent treat features a buttery dough, refreshing orange peel soaked in Grand Marnier liqueur, a crispy caramelized topping, and the irresistible texture of fragrant almonds.
Made with French wheat and fermented butter.
"Croissant"
The exquisite flavor of French wheat, a hallmark of French croissants, combined with the deep richness and subtle acidity of the sourdough starter, enhances the rich taste of butter. This croissant boasts a luxurious milky flavor from fermented butter and a fragrant, nutty aroma, resulting in a crisp exterior and a moist interior.
Made with French wheat and Guérande salt.
"baguette"
Made with French wheat, Guérande salt, and a sourdough starter carefully cultivated for 20 years, this baguette is slowly aged at a low temperature for three days, resulting in a crisp, fragrant crust and a rich flavor that unfolds with every bite.
"Smoked Trout Salmon & Cream Cheese"
A fragrant baguette made with French wheat is generously filled with moist, oil-marinated smoked trout salmon and rich cream cheese. The texture of red onion, the acidity of capers, and the aroma of dill provide a refreshing contrast, resulting in an elegant and flavorful treat.
"Ham & Camembert"
This sandwich features flavorful smoked pork shoulder and Camembert cheese. The base baguette is made with French wheat. With each bite, the crisp, fragrant baguette releases the rich, natural flavor of the wheat, which harmonizes beautifully with the concentrated umami of the smoked meat and the rich creaminess of the cheese.
"Tuna Salad Sandwich"
A colorful Southern French-style tuna salad is sandwiched between our signature croissants. The tuna is enhanced with the crisp texture of red and yellow bell peppers, and the deep flavors of olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and whole-grain mustard. The refreshing yet flavorful Tuna Provence blends perfectly with the croissant in your mouth.
