2KANEL BREAD
The theme is "Delicious food that is close at hand.
The bakery is located right in front of Kuroiso Station. With the theme of "delicious food made with ingredients available close at hand," bread made with domestic wheat and local ingredients is popular.
The "Whey Bread Series" is the center of attention. Whey is a byproduct of making cheese from raw milk, which is used to make high-protein, mineral-rich bread. Whey bread is highly nutritious and has a fluffy taste. Because Nasu is home to a thriving dairy farming industry, it is possible to realize a regional cycle.
You can also enjoy meals and sweets at the stylish café attached to the restaurant.
KANEL BREAD makes breads that bring out the best of the ingredients, and this commitment is also reflected in the "iris bread & coffee" café located next to the bakery. Not only can customers enjoy bread purchased at the bakery, they can also enjoy a menu of meals and sweets made with local ingredients. Spend your break time with cakes carefully made in the dedicated workshop and coffee made from carefully selected coffee beans. For bread drinkers, we also recommend the owner's carefully selected natural wines sold at the bakery.

Sitting in one of the chairs while listening to the pendulum clock, you will feel as if you have entered the world of a picture book.
