As the number of visitors from overseas grows, we often hear requests for recommendations on vegan-friendly eateries. Luckily, there\u2019s a charming bakery in Takamori Town that bakes delicious bread without using any eggs or dairy products\u2014perfect for vegan guests!<\/span><\/p>\n

A Cozy Bakery in a Renovated Mountain Cabin<\/b><\/h2>\n

“Bakery Koharubi” is located at the base of Mount Nekodake in Takamori Town, Aso District.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a small, charming place with colorful banners standing outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are parking spaces behind the signboard, so you can park your car there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At first glance, this bakery looks like a small mountain hut\u2014and that\u2019s because it really originally was a cabin for hikers heading up Mt. Nekodake! The space has since been beautifully renovated into a bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you enter through the door, you’ll see that you have to take off your shoes before stepping inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside the store, you\u2019ll find handmade bread and cookies, as well as organic pasta, tomato sauce, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is also a wide selection of drinks, including organically grown coffee and herbal teas!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is an eat-in space by the window.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They also offer an oat milk version of their organic coffee\u2014perfect for anyone with allergies or those following a vegan lifestyle!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The owner\u2019s husband also grows rice, and rice is available for purchase for those who make reservations beforehand or sign up for regular deliveries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bread That\u2019s Perfect for Vegans Too<\/b><\/h2>\n

Curious about the menu? Here are some of the offerings:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u30fbSweet red bean (tsubuan) buns<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30fbChestnut-filled buns<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30fbMaple-flavored bread<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30fbFocaccia<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30fbCranberry bread<\/span><\/p>\n

Each item is priced at a reasonable \u00a5180.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also pick up a mini loaf of <\/span>shokupan<\/span><\/i> bread for \u00a5220.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the bread is made with domestic wheat and yeast, with no animal-based ingredients whatsoever. It\u2019s wonderful to know that people with egg or dairy allergies can enjoy these treats too!<\/span><\/p>\n

The owner previously worked at a bakery inside Minamiaso Town’s Roadside Station “Asobo no Sato Kugino,”. However, the bread there contained eggs and dairy.<\/span><\/p>\n

One day, she saw a child crying because they couldn\u2019t eat the bread due to allergies. Heartbroken, she wondered, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I make bread this child can enjoy?\u201d\u2014and so, her journey into egg- and dairy-free baking began.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Yet Delightfully Chewy and Delicious!<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, I had to try some for myself! I picked up three varieties: the tsubuan, chestnut, and maple breads.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought that the bread might be dry and bland without eggs or butter, but to my surprise\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I tore into the bread, the dough stretched like mochi, soft and elastic!<\/b><\/p>\n

I took a bite and I could taste the aroma of the wheat \u2013 it was a simple yet rich-flavored bread.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, there was plenty of sweet red bean paste!<\/span><\/p>\n

The chestnut paste bread was originally a limited-time offering, but due to its popularity with customers, it became a year-round product. It\u2019s definitely delicious enough to understand this decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sweet red bean paste bun was generously packed with filling, and the combination of the chewy bread and the bean paste was perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The maple bread also was filled with the maple jam to the brim.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every bite exceeded my expectations. This bakery is a must-visit, whether or not you have dietary restrictions or follow a vegan diet!<\/span><\/p>\n

With its storybook charm and cozy mountain cabin vibes, Bakery Koharubi is a hidden gem worth visiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ever in the Takamori area, be sure to stop by and experience it for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
