Saitama, Japan｜Itopan Iwatsukikojochokubaiten

I usually use it on Saturdays and Sundays about once or twice a month. It opens at 9am, but I usually go around 8:30am. By that time, there were quite a lot of people in line, and it would be nice if the parking lot was empty. If it's not vacant, I'm asked to park it near the road so it doesn't get in the way of trucks. It's basically useless, so I'm moving as soon as there's space. The non-standard set (3 types) for 110 yen is gone by the time I go these days. I think the contents vary depending on the day, so if you're aiming for one, it might be best to line up around 8 o'clock. Two side dish breads cost 110 yen, but my recommendation is three loaves of mountain-shaped bread for 220 yen. It's definitely more delicious than square three-loaf bread. The expiry date is generally early, so it may be better to buy it with the intention of freezing it. The bread on the shelf changes depending on the period, but the non-standard set and the bread placed in the center may change depending on the day.

We arrived at the venue at 9am on a Sunday and there were already about 20 groups in line. The store only allows up to 4 people to enter, and when I entered the store, it was the last item to be sold (lol). 3 loaves of bread costs 280 yen, and anyone can buy 2 sweet breads or side dish bread for 140 yen. I cut up the bread into pieces and froze it, so I would like to have it in small portions.

There are many days, days when there is only bread, days when it is sold out and closed. It's cheap and I end up buying too much. It's 15 minutes by car, so I go there about twice a month. I went before 10am today. The price of two sweet buns was 140 yen. Non-standard and bread were sold out. It seems that it will be closed on weekends and holidays during July 2023, so it is a pity if you can only come on Saturdays and Sundays. Be careful if you are far away!
