01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Just outside the ticket gates at Gotanda Station, Rød catches the eye with an expansive showcase of rum raisin bakes. Leading the lineup is the signature rum raisin sandwich, featuring an aromatic rum raisin cream piped into a sturdy, chewy baguette-style bread that commuters regularly stop by to grab. The theme extends across the menu to treats like a rum raisin French toast finished with rum raisin butter and rum honey sauce, a rum raisin cheesecake Danish layered with house cheesecake filling, and even a rum raisin caffè mocha, giving enthusiasts plenty of variety.
Eat-in Toast Sets and Morning Breads from 7:00
A primary convenience of the shop is its early schedule, opening from 7:00 every day. A compact eat-in counter allows for quick morning sit-downs, with toast selections ranging from plain butter toast and melted cheese toast to raisin and cranberry toast. The drinks counter offers Hyoon Jukusei aged blend coffee, roasted to complement stone-oven baked bread, alongside caffe lattes, Earl Grey black tea, and herbal fruit infusions, catering easily to a brisk pre-work breakfast or a short transit respite.
From Savoury Loaves to Seasonal Danishes
Savoury loaves and meal-friendly breads are equally well-represented on the shelves. Baguettes and salted butter baguettes earned a reputation for their crisp crust and toasted aroma, joined by hard rolls like mentaiko pollack roe baguettes with a balanced touch of salt. Counterbalancing the crusty loaves are sweeter or lighter choices: cherry brioche topped with tart red sour cherries, refreshing lemon cream Danishes, focaccia, and pressed paninis, making it easy to assemble a tray tailored to the time of day.
Transit IC cards and credit cards are accepted at the counter, making this station-front bakery a practical spot to pack a bag of bread for the commute or an afternoon errand.
