Micro-bakery for Japanese milk breads opens downtown storefront | Exclusive

When Bryson Embernate launched Maishokupan in August , he was baking his soft Japanese breads out of The Commissary, a shared kitchen space in Sibley Square downtown. Each noon, he'd roll out a small cart of his loaves and sandos and sell them for half-hour, unless he sold out sooner. Just a few months later, he's launched his own storefront, but he hasn't gone far. Maishokupan is now up and running in Sibley Square's food hall called Mercantile on Main. The soft opening, which began in late October, has brought lines of people when he opens his front door each noon. The first hour is usually hectic, he said, and the cooler, filled with neat rows of sandwiches and bread creations, empties rapidly.

What's on the menu at Maishukopan Maishokupan bakes Japanese milk breads called shokupan, giving them sweet and savory twists. Embernate launches a new seasonal menu each month, which he posts in advance on Instagram. Each day of the week brings a different lineup, which repeats weekly throughout the month. The menu includes: ∎ Cube-shaped loaves that range from classic
