I wanted to open my own shop in Mt. Yatsugatake surrounded by the great nature.

While I am from Hiroshima, my parents loved Nagano, especially this Mt. Yatsugatake, to frequently travel here with me back then. Several times of visit have given me an impression that this is a very good place indeed, inducing me to think that if I was to have my own shop, it should be at the foot of this Mt. Yatsugatake.

Beautiful water and nature’s blessing, a good place for making of bread indeed.

The advantage of Venus line without doubt is this great nature’s blessing. Firstly, water is very pure, with its totally different quality, compared to when I was making bread in a city, which just enables making of delicious bread. Now that I have come over here, I have an impression with me that this really is a good place for making of bread, full of nature’s blessing, also as to ingredients such as agricultural products used for cooked bread.

At Boulangerie Kerock, we make close to 80 kinds of bread at most. By number, we make 400 to 500 pieces of bread throughout a day. Our customers look forward to the time for bread to be baked up to come over timing it.

Making of bread possible only in this place is my dream.

Words as “locally produced and consumed” are being heard around here, too. I want to merge my own making of bread to that to create bread fitted for the local people. My current dream or aspiration toward bread is that while I will inherit the traditions of those who have taught me thus far, I want to daily grapple with various things to aspire to my own making of bread possible only in this place.
