Grand Opening of R Baker Koriyama: A Fresh Chapter in Fukushima's Bakery Scene

The excitement is palpable as the renowned R Baker brand prepares to launch its first store in Fukushima Prefecture. Set to open its doors on July 10, 2026, in the heart of Aeon Town Koriyama, this new location promises to deliver the beloved values of R Baker, known for crafting delicious bread that nourishes both the body and spirit.

A New Beginning for R Baker in Fukushima

This new outlet marks an important milestone for R Baker, as it is the first franchise store in Fukushima. The company has adopted a cooperative operational model known as “headquarters-running type,” where both the head office and franchise owners work closely together from the outset. This ensures consistent product development, store layout, and promotional activities, all tailored to meet the unique characteristics and needs of local customers. The goal is to create a bakery that not only maintains brand quality but also becomes a cherished part of the community.

A Bakery Experience You Will Want to Visit Every Day

To enhance the ambiance within the store and foster a sense of community, R Baker Koriyama plans to host weekly events that cater to ongoing enjoyment. These events will provide customers with small pleasures to look forward to, in addition to their everyday shopping needs. This dynamic approach reflects R Baker's commitment to remain engaging and relevant to the local market.

Special Sets to Celebrate the Grand Opening

In celebration of the grand opening, R Baker Koriyama will offer limited-edition “HEARTFUL Bags,” filled with popular bakery items to celebrate the joy of bread. Featuring R Baker’s signature rice flour, these bags consist of five different loaf varieties renowned for their unique chewy texture, making them perfect not only for personal enjoyment but also as thoughtful gifts. The HEARTFUL Bags will be available in two options, priced at 3,000 yen and 5,000 yen, and will include popular items alongside coffee tickets for a moment of relaxation amidst busy shopping days. Moreover, both sets come with an exclusive, stylish tote bag, suitable for daily use or lunch outings.

With only 100 sets available, these special offers will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. This initiative is a token of appreciation for all the local residents eagerly anticipating the new bakery. Customers are encouraged to take this opportunity to explore R Baker's delightful offerings and unique philosophy.

About R Baker

Under the motto of “Delicious bread for the heart and body,” R Baker is committed to using high-quality ingredients in its bread-making process. A key feature of their offerings is the use of domestically-produced rice flour, which supports not only healthier eating but also the enhancement of food self-sufficiency in Japan. By incorporating rice flour with their original blending methods, R Baker creates breads that are characterized by their moist, chewy texture.

Moreover, with a focus on using gentle ingredients, R Baker aims to create breads that contribute to health from within. The dough is prepared in their central kitchen in Yamanashi, where skilled artisans dedicate time and effort into crafting frozen dough, which is then delivered to the stores. This approach allows for simpler baking processes at the retail locations, especially for time-consuming items like croissants.

Each loaf is crafted with care and hopes to enrich the moments of each individual customer. Thus, R Baker remains committed to the art of bread-making each day.
