Aso-gun, Japan
Merukoro
Merukoro gives Minamiaso’s bakery culture a serious regional marker: a bread, cafe, and sweets address selected for Tabelog Bread WEST “Tabelog 100” in 2020 and 2022. The draw is not chef theater, but the Aso-gun setting, where everyday baking sits close to agricultural country and works as a low-key counterpoint to the area’s grilled meat and countryside dining routes.
