When you think of Akiu Onsen, many people probably think of Saichi's Ohagi. However, there is a gourmet food that has been trending recently, especially on social media: Koppepan!
This time, we will introduce the charms and reviews of a popular koppepan shop in the Akiu Onsen area
What is Akiu Bread Restaurant Koppe?
Akiu Pan Shokudo Koppe is a restaurant where you can enjoy homemade stews and fluffy koppepan bread. The restaurant is particularly known for its over 20 varieties of koppepan bread and its unique blend of spice curry
The store was renovated from a former Akiu stone processing plant and looks just like a private home. It blends in with the scenery, and many people pass by. It's located on the way from Rairaikyo Gorge to Saichi, famous for its ohagi, and Akiu Sato Center, so be sure to check it out
The small interior of the shop has a retro feel to it, and there are picture books lined up inside the shop that you can read freely, so you can come and enjoy reading picture books with your children
Introducing the charm of Akiu Bread Restaurant Koppe
There are over 20 varieties of koppepan available
In addition to its deliciousness, the wide variety of koppepan available is another reason for its popularity. Dessert koppepan include the "Tipsy Chocolate Sandwich" with rum-flavored raw chocolate paste, and the "Milk Caramel & Crunchy Almond" koppe, and the "Bean Paste Koppe" which is only available on weekends is especially popular
The savory koppepan bread ranges from standard sausage and Neapolitan to more unusual varieties such as the "Beef Tendon Shigureni Sandwich" and "Kimpira Sandwich," which are filled with plenty of beef tendon
We also recommend the in-store limited set menu
Chili bean set and keema curry set are also available exclusively in the store. They come with spicy chili beans or curry, homemade rolls, vegetable salad, and a mini yogurt
For an additional 132 yen, you can have mozzarella cheese topped on the koppepan, so we recommend enjoying it with the melted cheese

Check out the reviews of Akiu Pan Shokudo Koppe, where the koppepan is very filling!
The bun is filled with so many ingredients that it almost overflows, so you'll be completely satisfied with just one. We recommend sharing it with 2-3 people
Koppepan is also available for takeout, so some people buy one to enjoy in their car while driving around Akiu Onsen. When taking out sandwiches, you can choose between "room temperature" or "hot" (warm bread with warm fillings), so you can enjoy a freshly baked, piping hot sandwich
The curry, made with 13 different spices, is also appealing. There is a pork keema curry with sansho pepper and a chicken keema curry made with sake lees and featuring the crispness of bamboo shoots
This time we introduced Akiu Pan Shokudo Koppe, a popular store in the Akiu Onsen area. The fluffy and hearty koppepan buns are both nostalgic and delicious. The store is located near the hot spring town, so why not visit after relaxing in the hot springs?
