The bakers at this Japanese bakery out-French the French, with buttery pastries delicately layered and sporting impossibly fine and crisp outer shells. Japanese culture prefers acquiring skill and knowledge through years and even decades of practice, perfecting technique through repetition. Not only has Tokyo Premium Bakery mastered a difficult art, but the bakers have quickly adapted their products to Denver's altitude and climate. Concave pastry shells filled with custard and fruit resemble tidy bird's nests, while sugar-dusted doughnuts hide the promise of sweet bean paste or crème filling within. There are options for lovers of both sweet and savory pastry, including a sausage roll that looks almost like a bagel dog, only with a lighter bread wrapper.
