One of my best friends, Yvonne, recommended this unique restaurant to me some months ago, and although she gave a very enticing description of the fare offered at Kagayaki, I just couldn’t wrap my head around the idea of bread being served as a meal.
Since this restaurant was Yvonne’s idea, I asked her to join my wife and me for lunch on a recent Saturday afternoon to delight in these baked goodies.
There were four different meal options on the menu, including one brunch set, and all came with a salad and soup.
Let me get the soup and salad out of the way. Actually, there’s not much to talk about. They were both pleasing, but nothing to write home about.

I went with the B set for 680 yen, which included the following three types of bread:
-Shrimp and broccoli with white sauce gratin: Maybe it was because I’m a picky eater, but I really didn’t care for this. I like broccoli and I’m usually okay with shrimp, but I wouldn’t normally order anything that came with white sauce or gratin. I guess it was to be expected that this would be my least favorite.
-Buttered potato with corn: This was quite good, as it reminded me of my beloved corn bread. I could’ve gone for another slice of this!
-Herb and green bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese: This pizza-tasting slice was also very savory.

My wife and Yvonne (both non-picky eaters), both ordered the Brunch Set for 680 yen, which came with the following bread selections:
-Italian Blue Cheese and Miyagi zucchini: My better half stated that this was her favorite, and she really enjoyed devouring this one. Yvonne also expressed that she preferred this slice over the other three.
-Small fish and tomato: Nope, my wife didn’t care for this one, but still, she cleaned her plate. My normal-eater friend wasn't impressed with this one, either. Perhaps the restaurant might want to rethink this dish.
-Herb and green bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese: This was the same slice that came with my set, and it was a winner of the 'good taste' award by unanimous decision.

We all opted for hot coffee for an additional 200 yen, as well as ordering dessert.
My wife decided upon a slice of chocolate cake. I pleaded for a taste and found it to be nice, but not very sweet.

Yvonne went with a strawberry sundae (350 yen), and I went with a banana chocolate sundae, only to be informed that they were out of bananas. They offered me a choice of any other fruit substitute for a 50 yen discount. I requested strawberries instead and it went well with the chocolate sauce.

I recommended Kagayaki to a friend of mine, Keiko (another non-picky eater), and she purchased three loaves of bread to take home, I believe at a cost of 1200 yen each. She mentioned that, unlike me, she liked the shrimp and broccoli the best, with a chestnut and mushroom loaf coming in second. I’m guessing she thought the cheese bread came in third.
If you get a chance, sit by the window to catch a glimpse of the bullet train streak by every now and then.
There’s plenty of parking if you travel by car and the restaurant itself is quite spacious.
I recommend Kagayaki due to its uniqueness, as I’ve never run across a meal such as this. If you’re looking for something different, try some unconventional slices of the staff of life.
