Penguin Bakery's Signature Product That Has Captured the Hearts of Shokupan Fans Nationwide

Unsinkable Shokupan

1 loaf - ¥380 (tax included) 2 loaves (1 whole loaf) - ¥720 (tax included)

We believe that shokupan, eaten daily, should prioritize not only taste but also quality. With this in mind, we have perfected our recipe using 100% "Yumechikara," a Hokkaido-produced wheat variety. Made without eggs, dairy products, honey, butter, or margarine, it can be safely enjoyed by young children and those with allergies.

Despite being a bakery, these are must-buy gourmet items unique to this Hokkaido-based bakery.

Penguin Bakery also sells Hokkaido-specific gourmet items in addition to bread. In particular, "Zangi Skewers," which won gold awards at the 13th and 15th Karaage Grand Prix*2, and "Toge no Ageimo," a long-time favorite in Hokkaido, are popular staple products supported by many customers.

About Penguin Bakery

Penguin Bakery Store Opening (Izumisano Store) Penguin Bakery Store Opening (Yokohama Motomachi Store)

Penguin Bakery is a Hokkaido-based bakery chain that operates nationwide with the concept of "bread made with wheat grown in Hokkaido's land, which can be eaten daily by everyone from children to the elderly." Many customers visit seeking freshly baked bread made with Hokkaido-produced wheat, and our stores have been very popular nationwide, with lines forming at openings.

The store name, of course, comes from the animal "penguin." It was named with the aspiration of "always moving forward," inspired by the penguin's gait, which never goes backward and always moves forward, even if waddling.
