This time, the Bread Festival will feature first-time appearances by “天然酵母パン 聖庵”, a natural yeast bakery mainly operating in Osaka, Akashi’s specialty shokupan bread shop “PANYA3”, and the bagel specialty shop “BAGEL&BAGEL”!

It seems some popular shops will also be returning, including sandwiches from “ダイヤ製パン”, scones from “Benoist”, and pretzels from “Bretzelia”!
In addition to bread, they’ll also be selling perfect accompaniments like jam, olive oil, and coffee! This is an event bread lovers won’t want to miss.
