  Awesome Japanese style pastries, and bread. Have not tried the calendar yet, but they look delicious.

  Arai doesn’t disappoint! We’ve stopped in many times, and I even had them make a cake for my husbands birthday (which we both devoured completely!) They were extremely easy to place the order, and even wrote beautifully in Japanese for me! We will be forever customers!!

  Really authentic and delicious Japanese baked goods! The buns are so good and remind me of bakers in Japan! ❤

  I love this pastry shop. They have an-pan, melon-pan and curry-pan to make the few. They are not too sweet or overbearing in spice or taste. It brings back me to a time when I was in Japan and ate same ones there. Also they make Christmas cake in a true Japanese style. Starting in December, they start taking orders for 6, 8 or 10inch cakes. If you have been in Japan around Christmas, you will see this all over they place. Either you can buy premade or in this case, Arizona you will have to place an order to pick it up. It's expensive but it is well worth the price for great taste and to have Japanese style Christmas celebration.

  An Authentic Japanese owned and run Pastry/Bakery shop. The Lead Baker comes from Japan originally. They have a cafe set up in the store. You can get cake by the slice or purchase whole cakes. All cakes and breads are made the Japanese way. Cakes and pastries are lower in sugar/sweetness than most westerners are accustomed with. The breads are non-sliced but may be sliced at the buyer's option. The shop is closed on Mondays. Requests for character cakes are accepted gleefully. The reproductions are very accurate, especially when it comes to anime/manga character reproductions for the cakes. They also allow for commercial and party orders. They also take advance orders for Christmas Cakes which is a Japanese Specialty.
