Local Hero Bakery to Fight Rising Rice Prices! Offering freshly baked bread at half price until the price drops to the national average of 2,500 yen for 5 kg!

Nagisa Bakery (Head office: Izumi City, Osaka; President: Toyoki Tanaka), which is rooted in the community as "the most energetic insurance agency in Japan," will start a half-price campaign for "Nagisa no Zakusaku Zakusaku Yama Shaped Bread" to support local households in response to the current serious rise in rice prices. The campaign will begin on June 2, 2025. This initiative is being implemented out of our strong desire to support the lives of local residents in any way we can, with the aim of bringing smiles and peace of mind to their daily dining tables.

Nagisa no Zakusaku Zakusaku Yama Shaped Bread" at half price

Background of the Campaign

In recent years, the price of rice has continued to soar, hovering around 4,200 yen per 5 kg, placing a heavy burden on consumers' household budgets. Under these circumstances, we, who have been contributing to the community as "the most energetic insurance shop in Japan," started "Nagisa Bakery" with a strong desire to bring the "magic of freshly baked bread that energizes the mind and body and naturally spreads smiles" to local residents.

With the belief that "eating makes you feel better," we decided to launch this half-price bread campaign out of our strong desire to support people's lives, even if only a little, by providing an alternative staple food at a safe price in the midst of the continuing sharp rise in the price of rice.

The Challenge of Nagisa Bakery, Providing Energy to the Body and Mind with Freshly Baked Bread

Nagisa Bakery, which held its grand opening on November 23, 2024 in Minami Ward, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, is dedicated to providing safe and delicious bread that is freshly baked and contains no additives or preservatives. Bread baked with care every morning, with its rich aroma and fluffy texture, is intended to be a "source of energy" that relieves the fatigue of busy daily life and naturally spreads smiles on people's faces.
