Continuously pursuing true deliciousness with expert skill and sensitivity
Boulangerie Le ciel bleu

Since its opening in 2004, the popular boulangerie "Le ciel bleu" has remained unchanged. This is a famous store in Gifu that is frequented by customers who love bread.

The products change monthly, and 20 new items will appear in September, the year of the anniversary. They have a wide variety of genuine breads that are perfect for everyday occasions.

The breads are made using only natural ingredients, without any additives, and following traditional methods. They are also full of nature's bounty, including allergy-friendly breads and breads invented at the request of customers, all of which can be eaten with peace of mind by all generations.

They do not add too much flavor to simple bread so that customers can make it their own way, and they are particular about the combination of delicious ingredients.

The variety of bread is most abundant around 12:00. However, customers keep coming in search of the bread they want, and even if the bread is lined up, it disappears... It's a popular shop.

If there is a bread that you definitely want to get, we recommend making a reservation.

A bakery where you can go every day and eat every day and never get tired of it, making it a must repeat bakery. Once you visit, you are sure to become a fan!
