Freshly Baked Japanese Bread Now Available at Overseas Cafes: "Pan For You Biz" Starts B2B Sales in Singapore from July 4

To support local bakeries, PanforYou, Inc., headquartered in Kiryu City, Japan, offers "Pan For You Biz" ( https://panforyou.jp/biz ), a platform connecting businesses with bakeries using unique freezing technology and digital transformation (DX).

Pan For You's unique freezing technology preserves the aroma and texture of freshly baked bread, allowing it to be stored for over a month. This enables restaurants without bread-making facilities to offer delicious bread easily and with less food waste. The move to Singapore leverages the city-state's strong cafe culture and bread consumption habits. Additionally, the availability of frozen delivery services ensures that Pan For You can deliver bread with the same quality as in Japan.

Comment from Suzuki Cafe in western Singapore introducing frozen bread:
"We decided to introduce Pan For You's frozen bread because it offered a wide variety and high quality, which matched the concept of Suzuki Cafe, themed around Japan. Additionally, because the bread is frozen, it can be prepared quickly even within a short time frame, making it both high-quality and convenient. When we actually tried it, the bread was soft and had a buttery flavor, which we believe pairs well with the coffee we serve at the cafe."

Background of Expansion into Singapore
The decision to choose Singapore as a sales destination was significantly influenced by the presence of home delivery services for frozen goods, which are not yet common in many overseas markets and well-established cafe cultures. Additionally, Japan is a popular travel destination among Singapore residents, with many having visited the country before.

Reason for Launching the "PANSUKU Box Kyoto"

Initially, during the trial sales phase, the PANSUKU Boxes featured bakeries from Gunma, Hokkaido, and Ehime Prefectures. Feedback from customers revealed that many were drawn to the product because they wanted to try bread from a bakery in a city they had visited. This indicated a strong affinity for well-known cities and places associated with personal travel experiences. Based on this insight, the company decided to launch the "PANSUKU Box Kyoto," featuring bread from bakeries in Kyoto Prefecture, a highly popular tourist destination.
