Oheso Cafe & Bakery
A cafe where you can enjoy satoyama whole wheat bread and stone-oven dishes shaped by wheat and water.
Set in Sera, Sera District, Hiroshima Prefecture, this bakery cafe is surrounded by abundant nature filled with flowers and greenery. Founded in 2011, it grows pesticide-free whole wheat on its own farm. Bread is made using a method that starts natural yeast with spring water.
Whenever possible, the ingredients used are organic, and the vegetables and fruits also come from local producers in Sera.
A key feature is that the bread dough is made with only flour, salt, and water as its basic ingredients, then slowly fermented for at least 24 hours. This careful fermentation process and thoughtful ingredient selection create bread rich in umami and aroma, with a satisfying heft and a pleasantly chewy texture that lasts for several days.
In a renovated 160-year-old traditional house, you can enjoy Margherita pizza, paella, sandwiches, and more at lunchtime.
The pizzas baked in a Spanish-made stone oven are especially appealing for their impressive size, and are a must-order when you visit.
