Okinawa's Hoppepan bakery operates only four days a week.
This unique bakery is open exclusively on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They use seasonal ingredients and craft their bread without additives, butter, or sugar, emphasizing low salt content. The focus is on creating soft textures rather than crispy ones. If you're visiting Okinawa for the weekend, this is a must-visit spot! The bread is displayed on the counter, ranging from savory to sweet options. Each loaf looks incredibly appetizing. Unable to read Japanese, I picked a few based on appearance—chocolate bread, croissants, mentaiko bread, and mini croissants. I couldn't wait and enjoyed them on the bench outside the shop. Every single one was delicious, and I almost wanted to devour the entire selection! No wonder this bakery, open only four days a week, is so popular!
