Tatebayashi, Gunma, Japan｜金木屋ベーカリー

Head towards Chiyoda at the Aoyagi traffic light on Route 122. It is along the road just north of Joyful Honda. It's hard to tell from the outside, and everyone around here drives about 60-70km/h, so you might pass by it the first time you go. This place is famous for its round bread, which is baked multiple times a day and sells out quickly, so you can always buy freshly baked bread. When it's sold out, the parking lot is full of cars waiting for the next batch, making it difficult to park, and it's especially dangerous when leaving, as there are a lot of cars running around. I've been going there since it was around 300 yen a bottle, but now it's 410 yen, which is still cheap. Of course it's delicious when toasted, but it's even better when you snack on it while it's hot in the car! The side dish bread is mainly soft and moist like the Showa era and is delicious, but if you don't go early, you won't find much.

You can see on Instagram when the store is closed, so it's better to check before going. I often go there to buy round bread.

His wife is friendly and easy to talk to, and the bread is reasonable and delicious.
