What is the Liaison Project?
We want to make people around the world smile with our health-friendly bread from Okayama Kobo.
The Liaison Project fosters "bakeries in town" and offers
safe and secure bread made with 100% domestic wheat and additive-free dough.
We aim to create an environment where people can connect with each other and
build a warm community through bread.
Our Bread
You won't get tired of it every day.
Rustic and gentle taste
I go to my usual bakery, buy some freshly baked bread, and
eat it while it's still warm. You think to yourself, "I'll buy some more tomorrow.
As a bakery in town, we want to be a bakery that gently accompanies the lives of our customers in the neighborhood.
We have been researching our recipes for 39 years, aiming to be such a bakery.
The bread of Okayama Kobo is a delicious bread with a simple and gentle taste that you will never get tired of even if you eat it every day.
Eat it and you'll understand
The delicious taste of domestic wheat and additive-free dough
We have continued our attempts to produce safe and secure bread based on our belief that "we cannot put anything that is not good for you in the bread you eat every day.
We do not use any synthetic chemical additives such as yeast food, emulsifiers, or bread improvers
which are common knowledge in the bread industry. We also insist on 100% domestic wheat,
using safe wheat from Hokkaido and the Seto Inland Sea.

5-day project
You can become a baker in just 5 days.
This innovative project was greeted with amazement in the world of baking, where years of training are
considered the norm.
We have taken the experience, intuition, and mastery of bakers and turned them into
a manual based on scientific theory and numbers, so that
you can open your own bakery and no longer dream about it.
Not a franchise.
Your
Support for bakery productionYou can choose a cute design that fits in with the cityscape,
a Japanese modern bakery,
a warm log house-like bakery,
or any other style you want.
The store name and business hours are all up to you.
More than 200 bread recipes will support you in opening your own business.
Bakery Community
"A network of thriving bakeries in town."We have helped more than 300 bakeries to open their doors.
If they do not adapt to the changing times,
bakeries in town will go out of business.
To prevent this from happening, we hold regular study sessions and value the horizontal connections among
owners.
Even after opening, we offer new products and management advice.
The owners we support are all "inexperienced.
It is because they are "inexperienced" that they can make our bread.
We will tell you why at the information session.
First, please join our free online information session.

Our directly managed stores
The No. 1 Bakery Store in Okayama Prefecture in terms of sales Freshly Baked Bread Square Liaison
Liaison means "union, knot" in French.
It was named after our desire to connect with our customers.
Liaison was established in Nakasendo in April 2006 and was loved by customers for a year and a half.
We moved to Tanaka, Okayama City as a "theme park of bread".
With more than 1,000 customers visiting the store every day, it has grown to become the No. 1 bakery
store in Okayama in terms of sales and has been featured in many media outlets.
Popular store with a long line of customers from morning Okayama Kobo Kunitomi Store
The store is always crowded with people waiting in line from morning, and the freshly baked items are always available
and always full of reservations because they are gone quickly.
We have a wide variety of menu items to satisfy customers of all ages, from the elderly to small children.
Average daily sales of 1 million yen in the U.S. Okayama Kobo (Bakery & Cafe)
Okayama Kobo from Okayama, Japan has expanded to the United States as "Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe". Its bread baked with 100% selected domestic wheat and additive-free dough became so popular that the company opened its first directly-managed overseas store in Anaheim, California.
Its "freshly baked Japanese bread" is loved by local Americans, and the number of followers on Instagram is increasing.
We also have a café space where we offer a moment to enjoy our bread. Our commitment to bread is fostering a new bread culture overseas as well.
