Nihon no Pan

To commemorate the grand opening, a collaboration with select bakeries is taking place called “Nihon No Pan”. The collaboration is focusing on the unique breads that have developed in Japan and have firm roots in Japanese culture – kashipan (sweet buns) and souzaipan (stuffed buns). The shop will be focusing on three subtypes of Japanese bread – anpan (buns filled with anko beans), creampan (cream buns), melonpan (sweet melon-shaped bread), and currypan (curry-flavoured bread).

10 varieties of limited edition collaboration Japanese-style breads have been made for the commemoration. There are six “Nihon no Pan” branches, each sparkling with individuality. You will want to try all the varieties of bread!
