Exciting New Bakery Cafe 'Pan to Espresso' Opens in Sendai-Akiu Onsen

In September 2025, a much-anticipated new establishment, "Pan to Espresso to Hito Yasumi," will open in the serene setting of Akiu Onsen, near Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. This café is part of the "Local Bread Project" launched by HIS (H.I.S. Co., Ltd.) in collaboration with the esteemed bakery chain, Pan to Espresso, which already boasts 41 locations across Japan, including its flagship store in Omotesando.

Located roughly 30 minutes from central Sendai, the new café will offer a peaceful retreat enveloped by nature for both locals and tourists. The theme of the café is "Hito Yasumi," which translates to "a moment of relaxation," creating the perfect ambiance for visitors looking to unwind after enjoying the hot springs or exploring the picturesque canyons in the area.

The menu will heavily feature local Miyagi ingredients, offering a delightful twist on traditional flavors. Signature dishes such as "Gyutan Beef Stew on Mutoast" and "Honey Toast with Zunda Butter" highlight the inimitable tastes unique to the region, giving patrons an authentic culinary experience of Miyagi.

In preparation for the grand opening, a crowdfunding campaign is currently underway to create the "Hito Yasumi no Niwa" (Hito Yasumi Garden), a soothing garden space adjacent to the café. Supporters can look forward to exclusive rewards available only through this campaign.

Owner's Comments:
The owners of this café, who are also sisters, shared insights into their journey. They decided on the name "Hito Yasumi" to reflect their vision of creating a cozy café in a hot spring area. Interestingly, the combination of their four sisters' initials rearranged spells the word "rest," perfectly aligning with the café’s purpose. This serendipitous connection to relaxation inspired both the name of the café and their company.

They aspire to offer a space where visitors can remember to take a break and enjoy quality time. Whether taking a break from hot spring visits, canyon hikes, or camping, they invite everyone to relax with delicious bread and coffee—a perfect moment of respite.
