A Taste of Everyday Wakayama, Crafted by a Long-Established Bakery
Founded in 1903 (Meiji 36), Nakatano Pan has supported the local food culture of Wakayama City for over 120 years. “Wakayama Coppe – Mikan” is a product born from the bakery’s long-refined, gentle approach to bread-making.
The soft, fluffy coppe bread, baked to a light and tender texture, reflects a comforting, familiar taste developed through everyday meals such as school lunches. Unaffected by trends, it carries the pride of a “local bread” cherished across generations.
A Specially Developed Mikan Jam That Enhances Citrus Aroma
The mikan jam sandwiched inside is made from locally grown Wakayama mandarins and was developed exclusively for this bread.
Local farmers, jam producers, and the bakery collaborated closely, carefully balancing sweetness, texture, and aroma to harmonize perfectly with the bread. With every bite, a refreshing citrus flavor spreads gently, complementing the soft texture of the coppe bread and highlighting the natural quality of the ingredients.
A Local Creation Connecting Wakayama to the Next Generation
“Wakayama Coppe – Mikan” was created with the desire to make Wakayama’s local specialties more accessible and enjoyable.
Its handcrafted finishing and use of regional ingredients not only define its flavor but also support local agriculture and food culture. Whether for breakfast, a snack, or as a taste of Wakayama, this beloved local bread quietly accompanies everyday life while passing on the region’s charm to future generations.
