Lastly
The popular Bread Festival is held every year in early summer and autumn at Daimaru Ashiya Store (Mont et Mer). It’s great to see so many limited-edition breads from bakeries you don’t usually get to come across! If there’s a bread you’re curious about, be sure to grab it before it sells out!
