There is german Bäckerei Kirschblüte (?) in Osaka. It’s great!
European is not all the same. Japan’s bakeries are inspired by french baking. Mostly sweet and croissant-like. So for german bread you really need to search
There are so many great bakeries in Kyoto, to name few, Annee, Walder, le petit mec.
But best one is definitely in Osaka – Kirschblüte! The owner lived and learned how to make bread etc in Germany!!
Gonna piggyback onto this thread and ask, anyone have a good Cinnamon bun rec around kyoto too?
Kurs, Dough, Le Petit Mec, Uki, Perkeo… you can usually tell from Google Maps what kind of bread they sell.
Eight, opposite Fushimi Inari station has some nice bread
The bakery in the Rakuhoku mall thing at Kitaoji Kawabata has a nice selection of decently crunchy baguettes and the other types with fancy French-ish names I can’t remember. Keep in mind even the nicer styles of bread will tend to be like that because Japanese prefer their bread gooey doughy, like that awful Shoku-Pan you have been struggling with.

I’m German, so quite picky about bread 🥹

My Austrian prof recommended [Hofbäckerei Edegger-Tax](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sQTS7mm8THkJvSR27?g_st=ic)
And a french bakery I enjoyed [Galopain](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TonTe1LZymrBS3pf6?g_st=ic)

Get a bread maker. Sorts out that craving. We make all sorts, but the blueberry wheat is my main nomnomz.
Well … not Kyoto directly but donq in kusatsu’s kintetsu building (next to the station) has almost perfect french baguettes.
Unfortunately they’re only open from 10:00 and just like real baguettes they go bad after a single day.
So I can only really enjoy that on a weekend.😞
