Delivering the deliciousness of freshly baked bread made with Hokkaido wheat to the whole country!
Opening the second shop in Gifu Prefecture.

Born from the desire to "deliver freshly baked bread made with Hokkaido wheat to everyone nationwide," Penguin Bakery is a popular bakery that has gained nationwide acclaim from customers, with lines forming upon opening each time, thanks to its commitment to Hokkaido wheat, a diverse product selection, and a unique system that allows customers to enjoy "freshly baked" deliciousness anytime they visit.

The Kani City Hiromi area, where this store will open, is located in the central commercial district, close to the city hall and commercial facilities, offering a convenient location that is easy to stop by while shopping or out and about. It is also easily accessible from Route 248 and approximately 3km from the "Kani Mitake IC" on the Tokai-Kanjo Expressway, making it convenient for car travel. Furthermore, it is about a 15-minute walk from "Shin-Kani Station" on the Meitetsu Hiromi Line, making it accessible by train and foot as well. The surrounding area is filled with residential neighborhoods, making it a charming location that you can casually drop by in your daily life. We offer a wide range of products, from bread for your daily meals to treats for a little indulgence.

We aim to be a beloved bakery in the region where everyone can easily enjoy freshly baked bread made with Hokkaido wheat. Please feel free to stop by with your family and friends.

Penguin Bakery's signature product that has captured the hearts of bread fans nationwide

Tobikenai Shokupan (Bread That Cannot Fly)

1 loaf: ¥380 (tax incl.)     2 loaves (1 whole): ¥720 (tax incl.)

Because it's bread we eat every day, we want to prioritize quality as well as taste. With this in mind, we arrived at using 100% Hokkaido wheat "Yumechikara" after much trial and error. Since it is made without any eggs, dairy products, honey, butter, or margarine, it can be safely enjoyed by small children and those with allergies.

Penguin Bakery is a Hokkaido bakery chain with nationwide franchises, based on the concept of "bread that children and adults can eat every day, using wheat grown in the vast land of Hokkaido." Many customers visit seeking freshly baked bread made with Hokkaido wheat, and it has been very well received by customers nationwide, with lines forming at openings.

The store name, of course, comes from the animal "penguin." Named with the aspiration to "always move forward," inspired by the penguin's way of walking forward, never backward, even if waddling.

＼ The secret to Penguin Bakery's popularity is… ／

Commitment to Hokkaido ingredients!

As penguins born in Hokkaido, we want to use local ingredients. Hokkaido is full of ingredients like wheat, dairy products, vegetables, and beans that are top-class in taste and quality nationwide. That's why we continue to make bread that can be eaten with peace of mind, using Hokkaido products as much as possible.

Exciting variety to make you want to visit every day!

About 80 types of products are available daily, including standard sweet buns, unique savory buns, and Hokkaido local menus, along with new product releases. We want customers to enjoy discovering new breads, so we are constantly challenging ourselves to create new products based on the ideas of customers and staff.

Always enjoy freshly baked bread!
We bake to perfection at the optimal time, considering the day's weather, time, and occasion. Because our bread is made with care using Hokkaido ingredients, we want you to enjoy it at its most delicious, freshly baked state. To deliver to as many people as possible, we bake in small batches multiple times rather than baking too much at once.
