Delicious! Most importantly, the breads are very reasonably priced and affordable.
Each Saturday, Daisuke and Mie, open their family owned store to the local farmers, who come to sell their produce. Being the wonderful people they are Daisuke and Mie do not take any money for doing this! What you get is vegetables that are very cheap, come straight from the farm, and are organic and pesticide free.
