Hello everyone! We are almost one month into 2026. How are you doing?
I find myself counting down the days until spring arrives, but right now I'm probably at my peak of longing for my bed in the mornings.

Today, we will introduce the Bread Fair being held at the Ark Tategamori online shop.
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy special bread that is usually only available at the Ark Tategamori Farm Market from anywhere in the country.

The ultimate commitment: in-house organic JAS wheat

The biggest feature of Ark Tategamori's bread is that it uses 100% organic wheat that is produced and milled in-house.
Do you know how rare this wheat is?

• Self-sufficiency rate of domestic wheat: only about 10%
• Among them, wheat certified as organic by JAS: approximately 0.05% of the domestic consumption

In other words, it is incredibly rare, occurring in only one in 2000. At Ark Tategamori, we grow this precious organic wheat ourselves and mill it ourselves, maximizing the wheat's natural flavor and nutrition.

Our commitment to ingredients extends to oils and fats

Fats and oils are essential for making bread. Generally, shortening or margarine is used instead of butter, which has a high cost, to keep costs down. Shortening is a tasteless, odorless solid fat and oil, and is not an additive. However, Ark Tategamori does not use shortening, as we believe in using essential ingredients and making the most of the ingredients.

All you need is butter!!

Based on the belief that "making the most of the ingredients" and "using essential ingredients," we do not use any margarine or shortening. This uncompromising approach produces bread with a deep flavor and rich aroma.

The aroma of wheat varies depending on the harvest time and field.

The aroma of wheat varies from year to year. It also differs depending on the field. The great thing about Ark Tategamori bread is that you can enjoy the aroma of wheat.

There are also breads that can only be purchased at this bread fair at the online shop, so don't miss out on this opportunity!
