Why You Should Visit
A one-day Christmas collaboration between TOAST, a wedding and party venue on the hillside of Kitano, and Bakery Vacances in Sannomiya. Lunch is styled like an afternoon tea: seven of the bakery's breads with house-made seasonal jams and three flavoured butters, plus winter antipasti, soup and a Christmas sweets buffet. Dinner is a nine-course menu in which every dish, from the amuse-bouche to the meat course and desserts, works the bakery's breads into the cooking, limited to ten groups. A good pick for bread lovers spending Christmas in Kobe, or anyone planning a meal in Kitano.
