Yakitate!! Japan

France, England, and Germany each boast breads celebrated around the world—yet Japan lacks a signature loaf with the same reputation. Inspired by breadmaking from an early age, Kazuma Azuma sets out to change that by creating a distinctly Japanese national bread.

Gifted with unusually warm hands that speed up fermentation, Azuma pushes his ideas further than most. After joining the renowned bakery chain Pantasia, he meets skilled bakers and steps into a fiercely competitive culinary scene, trading inspiration, rivalry, and camaraderie as he chases the next unforgettable creation.
