Our thoughts on allergy prevention

The biggest feature of Hagino Shoten is that it is run by a chef who suffers from allergies. The shop was born from a strong desire to create a space where people with and without food allergies can eat the same food as the person next to them and laugh together, saying "It's delicious." This philosophy is not simply a business idea, but is born from a sincere desire based on the chef's own experience .

All products are handmade one by one at the shop. The meticulous attention to detail and loving manufacturing process that cannot be achieved through mass production results in gluten-free bread that you can eat with peace of mind. The hope that "we can make the daily lives of many people a little more delicious and a little happier " is put into all of our products.

Allergy-friendly initiatives:

• The creator himself has allergies
• All products are handmade

• Providing the joy of everyone eating the same food

This policy of not using the eight ingredients applies to all products served in the store, so you can eat any product with peace of mind.

However, since the restaurant uses ingredients other than the eight specified ingredients , people with other allergies should be careful.

How to choose gluten-free bread and key points

Types and characteristics of rice flour bread

The difference between completely gluten-free and rice flour blend

When choosing gluten-free bread, the most important difference is between "completely gluten-free" and "rice flour blend. " Completely gluten-free bread is made with 100% rice flour, without any wheat flour. In contrast, rice flour blend bread is made by mixing rice flour with about 20% wheat protein .

The choice depends on whether you have any allergies . People with wheat allergies or celiac disease must choose a completely gluten-free product . On the other hand, people who choose rice flour bread for health-conscious or diet purposes can expect sufficient results from a rice flour blend .

Completely gluten-free vs. rice flour blend:

• Completely gluten-free: 0% wheat flour, allergy-friendly
• Rice flour blend: 80% rice flour, 20% wheat protein
• Price difference: Completely gluten-free is about twice as much
• Texture: The blend has a more bread-like elasticity.
• Target audience: Select based on whether or not you have allergies

Texture and taste characteristics

The biggest feature of rice flour bread is its unique texture . Its chewy texture is popular with many people as a new deliciousness that cannot be found in wheat flour bread. In particular, the crispy outside and chewy inside texture when toasted is a unique appeal of rice flour bread.

Its flavor is also characterized by a gentle taste, with a slight sweetness that comes from the natural sweetness of rice. Many people say that rice flour bread is more filling than wheat flour bread , and it is also characterized by its high level of satisfaction . Another benefit is that it is easy to digest , so it is less likely to leave you feeling heavy in the stomach .

[Characteristics of rice flour bread texture and flavor]

Features	detail
Texture	Chewy and moist
When toasting	Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside
Taste	The gentle sweetness of rice
Satiety	Better than wheat bread
digestion	Gentle on the stomach

How to store and eat deliciously

Rice flour bread tends to harden over time , so proper storage is important. If you can't eat it all on the day you buy it, we recommend wrapping each loaf in plastic wrap and freezing it . If frozen, it will stay fresh for about a month .

When ready to eat, let it thaw naturally and then warm it in the toaster to restore its freshly baked flavor . If you use a microwave to thaw it, the key is to heat it for a short time, about 20 to 30 seconds . You can also lightly spray it with water before toasting it to create a fluffier texture.

Storage and cooking tips:

• Immediately freeze any food you can't eat on the day
• Individually wrapped in plastic wrap
• Frozen storage period: about 1 month
• Thawing method: Natural thawing + toaster
• Microwave: 20-30 seconds
• Use a spray bottle to rehydrate before toasting

Points to check for allergy-related issues

Checking the labeling of specific ingredients

When purchasing gluten-free bread, the most important thing is to check the ingredient label . In Japan, it is recommended that seven specific ingredients (wheat, milk, eggs, shrimp, crab, buckwheat, and peanuts) and 21 other similar ingredients be listed. People with particularly severe allergies should carefully check all ingredients .

Some stores may display a label stating that the product does not contain eight specific ingredients (walnuts have been added). It is also important to check for contamination on the manufacturing line. If you have any questions, it is important to check with the store staff before purchasing.

Check points for checking ingredients:

Safety in the manufacturing environment

When dealing with allergies, the safety of the manufacturing environment is extremely important. Stores with dedicated manufacturing lines significantly reduce the risk of allergen contamination . In addition, the management system for cooking utensils and equipment is also an important factor that affects safety.

Good stores have staff who have undergone allergy training and ensure transparency in the manufacturing process . Some stores also conduct regular cleaning of equipment and allergen testing . It's important to feel free to ask about these safety management systems .

The importance of prior confirmation

To enjoy gluten-free bread safely, it is essential to check in advance . Especially when visiting a store for the first time , we recommend that you confirm detailed information by phone or email. Be sure to clearly explain the type and severity of your allergy and confirm whether they can accommodate your request .

It is also important to discuss the time of your visit . Choosing a time when there is less contact with other products, such as right after the store opens , will make your purchase safer . Furthermore, if you plan to use the store regularly , building a relationship of trust with the store will make you feel more comfortable.

Items to check in advance:

• Use of allergens

Tips for enjoying gluten-free bread in Sapporo

Preparation before visiting

Advance reservations for popular items

At gluten-free bread specialty stores in Sapporo, popular items often sell out early , so it's important to make a reservation in advance . Especially on weekends and holidays , main items can sell out within 1-2 hours of opening. If there's an item you definitely want to buy , we recommend making a reservation 2-3 days in advance .

When making a reservation, it is important to clearly communicate the product name and quantity . Many stores also allow you to discuss the pick-up time , so be sure to specify a time that is convenient for you . If you are using the store for the first time , it is also a good idea to ask about the store's recommended products .

Booking tips:

• Reservations must be made 2-3 days in advance.
• Clearly state the product name and quantity
• Negotiate pick-up time

Gluten-free bread specialty stores may have different opening hours than regular bakeries .

Countermeasures against sold out

At popular gluten-free bread specialty stores, selling out is a common occurrence . For this reason, it's important to take several precautions . First, the most reliable way is to visit right after opening , but if that's not possible, make a reservation in advance .

It's also important to have a second or third option ready. Even if the product you're looking for is sold out , you might discover something else delicious . What's more, asking the store staff for recommendations might lead to new discoveries .

Tips for preventing sold-out items:

• Try to visit right after the store opens

How to store and use your items after purchase

Tips for freezing food

Gluten-free bread often does not contain preservatives and tends to have a short shelf life . Therefore, proper freezing is key to keeping it fresh for as long as possible. After purchasing, wrap any remaining portion individually in plastic wrap as soon as possible .

When freezing, it is convenient to store each type of bread separately . Also, labeling each with the date of storage and the product name will make inventory management easier. Storing bread in airtight containers or ziplock bags will also help prevent freezer burn .

Freezing instructions:

1. Wrap each loaf of bread in plastic wrap
2. Sorting by type
3. Labeling with date and product name
4. Place in an airtight container and store in the freezer
5. Consume within 1 month

Tips for thawing and reheating

To revive frozen gluten-free bread, it is important to thaw it properly. The best way is to thaw it naturally , but you can thaw it slowly by placing it in the refrigerator the night before . If you're in a hurry, you can use the defrosting setting in your microwave , but be careful not to overheat it .

We recommend using a toaster oven to reheat thawed bread. If you spray moisture on the surface before baking, the outside will be crispy and the inside will be soft and chewy again . If using a toaster oven , the recommended heating time is 160-180 degrees for 3-5 minutes .

[How to thaw and reheat]

method	time/temperature	point
Natural thawing	Overnight (refrigerator)	the most ideal
microwave oven	20-30 seconds	Put some plastic wrap on it
toaster	160-180 degrees for 3-5 minutes	Hydrate with a spray bottle
steam	5-7 minutes	Plump finish
frying pan	Cook on low heat on both sides	Butter for extra flavor

Recipe suggestions

Gluten-free bread can be enjoyed in a variety of ways . French toast can be made healthier by using soy milk or almond milk in the egg mixture. Bread pudding , which takes advantage of the density of rice flour bread, is also a popular variation.

When making sandwiches , you need to be careful about the moisture content of the ingredients .

By draining the bread thoroughly and blocking out the moisture with mayonnaise or butter , the bread will not get soggy and will be delicious. Also, by making it into a hot sandwich , you can enjoy a delicious sandwich that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside .

Recommended recipe variations:

• French toast: Healthy with soy milk
• Bread Pudding: A Dense Dessert
• Hot sandwich: The crunchy texture is appealing
• Pizza toast: with gluten-free cheese
• Croutons: To add a touch of salad
