We also recommend the baguette, which is fermented at a low temperature for a long time to give it the flavor of flour. Spread cream cheese or drizzle olive oil on it and enjoy it with soup or side dishes. The restaurant is a face-to-face style where you order items on the line and Staff/staff members take them from you with tongs. It is a great way to enjoy choosing while chatting with the smiling staff.
The baked goods department in the store is handled by Ricothé, a store that used to be open only a few days a week in Oita City. Canulés, lemon cakes, cookies, and more are available. Mugs, socks, and other miscellaneous goods are also available in the store.
