A Delicious Revolution: Style Bread's New Gluten-Free Offerings
In a recent announcement, Style Bread Co., Ltd. based in Minato, Tokyo, revealed a complete overhaul of their gluten-free bread products, set to launch on June 1, 2026. Catering primarily to the restaurant, hospitality, and welfare sectors, the company aims to address the growing demand for gluten-free options amidst rising dietary needs and allergies. This initiative comes in the wake of increasing inbound tourism and a need for diverse dietary solutions in the food service industry.
As the hospitality industry grapples with the challenge of preventing cross-contamination with wheat products while maintaining efficient service operations, Style Bread is committed to easing these burdens. Their revamped gluten-free bread lineup promises not only safety but also deliciousness, reshaping the standard of what gluten-free can be.
The new gluten-free bread is crafted using 100% domestically sourced rice flour and based on recipes from specialized gluten-free bakeries. This innovative approach creates a remarkable texture, offering patrons a fluffy and moist experience that has been previously unattainable in gluten-free products. Attention has also been given to using body-friendly ingredients such as beet sugar and rice bran oil while ensuring that the product is free from 29 specific allergenic ingredients, including dairy, eggs, and wheat. This model transcends the limitations of dietary restrictions, achieving a quality that invites everyone to choose it because it is simply delicious.
In addition to their flagship gluten-free round bread, the company is introducing a new sliced variant, the gluten-free bread (sliced), with a thickness of just 15mm. This product maintains a moist texture without feeling dry, making it ideal for a variety of breakfast options, from simply toasted bread with jam to sandwiches filled with allergy-safe ingredients.
