Kumori opens full cafe, launches delivery service

MANILA -- Kumori Japanese Bakery, known for its “bite-into-clouds” pastries and breads, continues its expansion in the Philippines by opening its first full-scale Café Kumori branch, as well as launching an online-ordering service.

Partnering with popular app Zomato, diners can now have their instant Signature Hanjuku Cheese fix any time. Deliveries come in a pretty carry-on box, with individually wrapped breads and pastries.



Try the new service by ordering from the Rustic Bread line. Choose from a crusty ciabatta for your sandwiches, or for something different, try the Cranberry Yuzu bread, filled with tart cranberries and flavored with a slight yuzu tang.

To satisfy your sweet tooth, the Apple Cheese Danish is a cream cheese-filled flaky treat with caramelized apples on top. The Custard Butter Bun, meanwhile, is all about soft bread hiding custard and buttercream.

Looking for a quick savory snack? There’s the Crabstick Bun, same soft bread but with a topping of crabstick and Japanese mayonnaise gratin.



Last February, Café Kumori opened in SM North Edsa. Here, diners can have their fill of Kumori goodies while sipping on their beverage of choice. The drink menu includes various iterations of coffee -- from the standard brewed at P85 a cup, to a six-hour cold brew -- as well as teas that can be enjoyed hot or cold.

It also offers milkshakes like the Chocolate Hazelnut Milkshake, or the more interesting Japanese Sweet Corn variety.

Kumori Japanese Bakery counters are located in SM Makati and Landark Makati, while Café Kumori is located at the ground floor of the Block at SM North Edsa.

It will open a branch at UP Town Center this July.
