Bread making experience

The "Bread Workshop" is a place where you can easily enjoy the experience of making bread. Once you have formed the dough into your desired shape, you can top it with chocolate chips or dried fruit! The staff will take care of it and bake it in a special oven. It's easy enough that even children can do it, so it's recommended for families.
The bakery also sells "animal bread" made by the staff! It's not only cute but delicious, and is so popular that it often sells out by the afternoon.
