Donq, a venerable bakery born in Kobe and founded in 1905, has consistently adhered to the scratch method, where artisans prepare dough from raw ingredients and bake it. On October 1st, they opened "Donq & RF1 Yoyogi," a collaborative store with the "RF1" brand.

Both Donq and RF1, originating from Kobe, propose enriched lifestyles through food.

With the concept of "Bread and Salad for the Senses, a Shop for Everyday Bread and Salads," the "Donq & RF1 Yoyogi Store" offers a wide array of Donq's signature French and meal breads, alongside RF1's authentic and fresh salads, fried foods, and deli items.

A key feature of the store is its grocerant format.

Grocerant is a portmanteau of "grocery" and "restaurant."

It offers freshly prepared meals in an attached dining area, using ingredients sold in the grocery section.

The carefully curated menus, combining bread and salad, allow customers to purchase the very bread, salad, and deli ingredients used in their meals and recreate them at home.

This noteworthy establishment proposes a healthy lifestyle, not just delicious food, through its bread and salads.
