Tokyo's Kuhonbutsu-based bakery Comme'N is launching a Spring Collection to celebrate the arrival of cherry blossom season. March brings a renewed "Sakura Anpan" (cherry blossom red bean bun) from Comme'N TOKYO and Comme'N GLUTEN FREE, along with a new seasonal item, the "Strawberry Cream Cone." Then in April, picnic-ready pizzas and sandwiches join the lineup.
March: Cherry Blossom and Strawberry Breads
Sakura Anpan — Comme'N TOKYO and Comme'N GLUTEN FREE
Comme'N TOKYO "Sakura Anpan"
Comme'N GLUTEN FREE "Sakura Anpan"
The beloved "Sakura Anpan" returns in a renewed form. This year's version incorporates the dough from Comme'N's best-selling "Sakura and Sake" bread, yielding a crispy, fragrant crust and a chewy interior. The cherry blossom paste inside is made with simple, natural ingredients for a gentle sweetness. Shaped like cherry blossom petals, each bun makes for a visually charming spring treat.
Comme'N GLUTEN FREE also offers a gluten-free version made with rice flour. The amount of red bean paste has been adjusted for a better balance with the dough, resulting in a fluffy texture perfectly complemented by the rich cherry blossom aroma.
- Price: TOKYO ¥450 / GLUTEN FREE ¥400 (tax included)
- Available: March 1 (Sun) – April 30 (Thu)
Strawberry Cream Cone — Comme'N TOKYO
The popular "Cream Cone" gets a spring makeover, filled with housemade strawberry jam and rice flour custard cream. The cone dough is made with soy butter for a satisfying crunch, while the smooth rice flour custard balances the sweet-tart strawberry jam for a delightful bite with every mouthful.

- Available: March 1 (Sun) – April 30 (Thu)
Café Latte (Sakura Shave) — Comme'N STAND
Comme'N STAND introduces a spring seasonal drink, the "Café Latte (Sakura Shave)."

The slightly bitter espresso and the gentle sweetness of the melting chocolate make for a spring-perfect cup.

April: Colorful New Items for Spring Picnics
Pistachio Petitoux — Comme'N TOKYO and Comme'N GLUTEN FREE

Purple Cabbage and Bacon Sandwich — Comme'N TOKYO
A sandwich featuring crispy bacon and crunchy purple cabbage rapée on fruit-studded bread. Housemade honey mustard, savory bacon, and sweet-tart rapée come together in a well-balanced combination that's ideal for a spring picnic, or equally delightful paired with a chilled glass of white wine at dinner.
- Price: TBD
- Available: April 1 (Sun) – Year-round
Strawberry Bread — Comme'N TOKYO
A new addition with a naturally pink interior, the "Strawberry Bread" is made by kneading strawberry jam generously into the dough without using any water. The result is a satisfying crunch on the outside and a chewy, moist interior. The bread is delicious on its own, but lightly toasting it enhances the fragrance and brings out the sweetness of the strawberry even further.
- Price: TBD
- Available: April 1 (Wed) – May 31 (Sun)
Brussels Sprout and Rapeseed Flower Pizza — Comme'N GLUTEN FREE
Comme'N GLUTEN FREE introduces a seasonal pizza featuring Brussels sprouts and rapeseed flowers. The vegetables are seasoned simply with white dashi and bonito flakes to highlight their natural sweetness and slight bitterness, with lemon zest added for a bright, spring-like finish. The subtle Japanese-inspired flavor and citrus freshness make it a fitting companion for a picnic under the open sky.
