The Story Behind Our Shokupan – Japanese Bread at Suzuya

If you’ve stopped by Suzuya in the morning, you might have caught the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked bread in the air. That’s our Shokupan—our take on Japanese bread that’s become a quiet favorite among many of our regulars.

Shokupan is soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, with a unique texture that sets it apart from typical American breads. It’s often enjoyed as thick slices of toast in Japan, and here at Suzuya, we bake it fresh every morning. Loaves are typically ready around 10:30 AM, and they tend to sell out quickly!

Many customers enjoy it as-is or lightly toasted, while others use it to create delicious sandwiches at home. It’s a simple, everyday comfort that pairs perfectly with both sweet and savory flavors.

We’re excited to share that you can now pre-order our Shokupan through our online store! Whether you’re picking up a loaf for the weekend or sharing it with loved ones, pre-ordering ensures your bread is ready and waiting for you.

Next time you’re planning a visit to Suzuya, don’t forget to add a loaf of Shokupan to your order. We hope it becomes part of your daily routine, just like it has for so many of our Suzuya family.
