The bread in our in-house freezer changes every month, and since people are happy with the variety of breads, this time we introduced local bread as a way to create a buzz within the company. We believe that the appeal of bread is that it can help with communication within the company by sparking conversations through charming local breads, such as where you and your parents are from, where you have fond memories of your school days, or what you’ve eaten while traveling. This time, we spoke to Sawaya Foods in Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture, a long-established bakery that has been loved by locals for a long time. ●About Sawaya Foods Established in 1951 as Sawaya Food Industry in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. Our main products include “Coffee Snack,” which is a mountain-shaped bread sandwiched with coffee cream, and “Konbu Bread,” which is filled with the delicious flavor of Toyama’s famous kelp, and is mainly sold at schools, consumer cooperatives, and local supermarkets. There is also a direct sales store called “Pan no Sawaya” next to the bread factory, which is popular with local people of all ages. This is our first attempt at expanding frozen bread since our founding.
