Uchiki Pan

Uchiki Pan is the oldest bakery still in operation in Motomachi. A talented British baker named Robert Clarke founded Uchiki Pan in 1888. A Japanese citizen named Uchiki Hikotaro worked with Clarke for several years and learned the art of baking English-style white bread. When Clarke returned to England, Uchiki took over the business. In 1906, Uchiki Pan advertised itself as "Purveyors to British, American, German, and French in the City every morning. 12,000 lbs. of bread turned out per diem." The tradition of delicious breads and fine baked goods continues today.
