"Konjaku-an" makes cooking and bread with a cooking ingredient and the wisdom that there is from Japanese ancient times. It is from a reason to want modern people to know a Japanese good point once again.

The dried foods called "Kanbutsu" in Japan are preserved food to be come down from old days. They make the bread of the Japanese style with this "Kanbutsu" and offer Japanese traditional lunch.

Japanese "now and old days" coexisted, and we wanted to take the new style that and was free from the traditional approach in the design of the store.

For example,
"old days."
Old footing board, a worn-out farm implement, the table of the antique, a bamboo colander, etc.

Especially “now” It is not the product of new technology, it is that already, changing point of view, it uses the product which was used with another use in new use. I tried to be specialized in the idea.
