Near Mondoyakujin Station in Mondoso, Yajikita-san checked out the bakery “Bakery_MARU(Bakery Maru),” which just opened on December 26! *For the 2025 New Year period, business starts from Saturday, January 4.

He went before lunchtime, and apparently there were still plenty of breads left that day, with more coming out freshly baked one after another 😃
The breads Yajikita-san bought ↓

*The rusk in the back right seems to be an opening commemorative gift. Please check with the shop to see whether rusks are available for sale 🙏
The one that caught my eye most was the one in the center of the photo: “Yuzu × Chocolate × Mascarpone ¥292(tax included)”.
Do yuzu and chocolate really go together~~? 😳

Looking into the shop, it seems the manager of Bakery_MARU previously worked as a manager at Sunny Side, and also has experience working at locations such as the Nishinomiya Taisha shop and the Shukugawa Green Place shop. This was mentioned on Sunny Side’s official blog.So the shop is run by a skilled baker who went independent after working at Sunny Side 😄*For the 2025 New Year period, business starts from Saturday, January 4.
