Style Bread Revamps Lineup with Margarine-Free Offerings

In an exciting development for the hospitality sector, Style Bread Co., based in Minato, Tokyo, is set to launch a revamped line of muffins and hotel melon bread that will be completely free from margarine. Starting September 26, 2025, this enhancement aims to align with the growing demand for natural and healthier options in various dining establishments, including hotels, restaurants, and cafes.

New Product Expansion

The lineup will feature five distinct muffin varieties, with two new flavors making their debut: Matcha White Chocolate Muffin and Cheese Muffin. The decision to eliminate margarine from all products aims to promote a lighter, more wholesome flavor profile. Achieving this transition not only supports better health choices but also enhances the mouthfeel and enjoyment of each baked item.

1. Matcha White Chocolate Muffin:
The much-anticipated matcha flavor combines premium domestic wheat and Uji matcha with exquisite white chocolate chips. The elegant bitterness of matcha pairs perfectly with the milky sweetness of the chocolate, creating a delightful treat.

2. Cheese Muffin:
Enveloping diced cheese inside a base made from domestic wheat flour, this muffin is topped with Parmesan cheese, delivering a rich aroma along with a subtle saltiness, making it a perfect breakfast option. Notably, this muffin is free from artificial flavors.

About Style Bread Co.

Founded in May 2006 by President Tomo Tanaka, Style Bread originated from a bakery that has roots dating back to the Taisho era in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture. Passionate about the idea of delicious frozen bread, inspired by their experiences in America, Style Bread developed its proprietary “Kiryu yeast” and began producing high-quality baked goods using domestic wheat. The low-temperature, long fermentation method has earned the company a reputation, with its products being served in nearly 4,000 hotels and restaurants across Japan.

Since its inception, Style Bread has continued to innovate and adapt, launching the consumer brand “Pan&” in 2018 and introducing a subscription service called “STYLE BREAD” in May 2024 to promote a lifestyle enriched with quality bread.
