Our commitment to fresh and seasonal ingredients

Yamamoto says, "There aren't many jobs that impress people, but in such a situation, it's very happy to make customers happy," says Yamamoto.

In order to make truly delicious food, we always use fresh and seasonal ingredients.

"Western confectionery is largely divided into raw confectionery and baked confectionery, but baked confectionery is interesting. It is difficult to bring out individuality with baked goods that have a fixed blending condition. How to bring out your own personality by devising the formulation? I will make dozens of prototypes and have my wife sample it. That's why Omojiro and it's rewarding," says Yamamoto, what you need to make Western confectionery is "passion."

He thought, "Expressing what I learned with my body will make myself a property." In addition to teaching and training employees, I have been a lecturer in Western confectionery classes at a confectionery school.
