What is Penguin Bakery Coco?

Penguin Bakery has primarily operated suburban bakeries until now. However, Penguin Bakery Coco was born out of the desire to share the deliciousness of Hokkaido wheat bread with a wider audience. By stepping outside of traditional concepts, this more flexible and retail-focused satellite brand strives to reach various locations. The name 'Coco' reflects a hopeful meeting point for customers and quality bread, evoking small daily joys. In Hokkaido dialect, young and lovable animals are affectionately called “Kokko,” symbolizing the brand’s dedication to building a strong presence through each small step.
