Learn to Make Great Buddha Bread in Temple Town of Kamakura

Tentang

A bread-baking blogger from 'All About Japan' will share a secret recipe of Great Buddha bread with you. Kamakura is known for a city of history, temples, and nature as well as a city of Great Buddha. People here are proud of the statue and you can find many Buddha-designed goods, from snow globe to chocolate. But no Buddha bread can be found except in our studio. 

Before shaping bread dough, you will draw a head of Buddha on a sheet of paper. This is like the time of meditation. While waiting for the bread to rise and be ready to bake, we will make okonomiyaki (savory pancake) or takoyaki (octopus-blending pancake balls) on a griddle.

Menu

• Green tea bread shaped like Buddha 
• Okonomiyaki (savory pancake) or Oyako-don ( a bowl of rice with simmered chicken, onion, and egg). Please let me know your group's choice.
