The high-class “raw” bread specialty store “NOGAMI” will open in Akita Prefecture, which will be the last in Japan, in June, 6 years and 8 months after its establishment, and will conquer 47 prefectures nationwide, achieving 173 stores.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for making this day a gift. We will continue to devote ourselves to deliver a lot of happiness to people all over the country.
Now that we were able to open stores in 47 prefectures nationwide, which we had set as our goal, we set a new goal as a new store with a bread factory in areas where we have not yet delivered, and said, “I’m waiting” “I’m looking forward” Deliver it to those who are injured.
I also want people in all areas to think of Nogami as a “local bakery”.
There is no change in the fact that we do not mass-produce and that every shop stores the bread that is hand-baked.
“Nogami” is a store that originated from “raw” bread, and we aim to be a bread that will continue to be loved by everyone, and we will continue to do our best to keep it loved for 100 years.
Nogomi’s “raw” bread was born from a little compassion.
One was that the founder regularly visited the house and heard at the nursing home, “I am happiest when eating and laughing! But bread for breakfast is hard to eat.” Hearing the voices of the grandfather and grandmother who said, “I want to feed you “fluffy bread that is soft to the ears.”
The second reason is that I found out that the founder’s daughter, who had a food limitation due to egg allergies, was eating the fluffy bread and wanted to give her a “fluffy soft bread”.
It took two years to complete a convincing bread in terms of “softness,” “fineness,” “sweetness,” and “aroma.”
Since I started making bread as an amateur, I was able to create a “fresh” loaf of bread that was unprecedented in a way that was unthinkable.
Since we were particular about the ingredients and the manufacturing method, the price was more than three times the price of commercially available bread, and we had a hard time understanding it at the time of our founding, but our thoughts have gradually spread, and nowadays many customers use it as souvenirs and gifts Since then, we have received a favor voice.
In addition, we also have many celebrity people choose as a gift and a gift.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
