The first time I visited deRien in Hiroshima, my hometown, was this March, as TBR2-2. I've heard so many good things about them by then.
そして支店開業のお知らせが。お盆はぎりぎり時間がなくて寄れず、悔し涙でしたが今回ついに新しいシューズとともに訪問してきました（慣らし履きの歩きで、でしたが）。
And I heard the news that they opened a branch in downtown of Hiroshima. I didn't have enough time to come by during this Summer O-bon vacation, but this time, I finally visited them with my new running shoes. (Though it was second time to try them on so that I walked to get there)
通りからは階段を3段上がってすぐです。

I REALLY wanted to get this marron. Since I saw it at their website, my mind was fully occupied with this seasonal bread.
Look, how big those chunks are!!
だってパンも栗も大好きなんじゃけ、しょうがないじゃろう？
Well, I have to confess, I asked them to save one of a half size by an advance phone call, which is against TBR policy.
But I DO love both bread and marron, what can I do!? I gotta get this, right?
どれくらい好きかというと、家で焼きぐりを作るくらいです。切り込みを入れ、魚を焼く網で15分。途中でひっくり返してくださいね。簡単にできますよ。あ、フタをしておいたほうがよろし。
I love marron so much so I roast them often. It's very easy to make them for only 15 min. Just make sure you cut first and flip them over after 7-8 min. It's better to put any lid on.
おいし〜い：） 蒸すのもおいしいけど、焼くのもおススメです。
So good! I like steamed ones, but roasted ones are good too.
おっと脱線しましたね、ごめんなさい。
Oops, I'd better to get back to breads talk. Sorry.
Covered with poppy seeds...
ワインがあるとなお良さそうですね…
It might be little better if there is some white wine...
かぼちゃスープと食べてみました。ばっちり合いますよ！
I had it with pumpkin soup. It goes along very well.
ところでこの帰省中、なんと嬉しいことに地元の友人Mさんが、ドリアンで私が未知の3種類をサプライズプレゼントしてくれました！ 感謝です、Mさん、ありがとう！
btw, there was a wonderful surprise! One of my local friends, M-san, bought three kinds of deRien breads which I haven't tried yet. Thank you very much, M-san. So nice of you!
カレンズは山ぶどう。甘酸っぱさにどんどん食が進みます。
Sweet and sourness of this encourages you to reach more slices.
「バターをさっと塗って」みました。噛めば噛むほど味わい深さが。
I spread butter lightly. The more chew, the more you can enjoy cereals tastes.
あぁ、こんな素敵なパンがすぐに食べれて広島の人は幸せ者じゃ。
Those who live in Hiroshima are so fortunate that they can eat such great breads soon whenever they wish.
今回八丁堀店にいたのは3月に堀越本店でお会いしていた森田さん。
「あの… 前にパン・ランで来られた方ですよね？」と覚えててくださいました。感激！
Morita-san was at Haccho-bori branch. But we've met in Horikoshi main store before.
She said to me "you are... the bread runner, aren't you?" It's so honored to hear that she remembers me. Thank you!
Kind cute to sit next to each other like this at shelves.
I had a little thing to do in Fukuromachi and dropped by an office of Wink and Hiroshima Museum of Art. In total 3km and bit.
