Hotel-style bread made with local ingredients

In the open and spacious store, there are a wide variety of breads, from simple hard breads to soft breads, snack breads and side dish breads.

When seasonal products are put in, there are always more than 80 types of bread that color the store.

Owner-chef Tadayasu Fukuoka trained at the Kanaya Hotel Bakery before setting up his own business. He sells breads that retain the top-notch taste but are arranged and made with local ingredients.

At Fiori, you can enjoy bread with the same high-quality taste as the Kanaya Hotel Bakery of the prestigious "Nikko Kanaya Hotel" in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture.

Fukuoka: "We use ingredients from Gifu as much as possible. We choose safe and secure products from local farmers, such as vegetables and fruits, eggs from Tarui's Akadama naturally-fermented eggs, and milk from Hida Takayama, and we can see the producer's face. Because they are locally grown, they are fresh, nutritious, and of high quality."

Fiori's delicious bread is also a body-friendly bread that contains plenty of the blessings of Gifu.
