Old Folk House × Garden × Food: The New Value of a 'Stay-Style' Bagel Shop

Located in northern Kamakura, 'Hokukama Bagel' was born through the DIY renovation of an old folk house. Centered around bagels made with Hokkaido wheat, the shop operates as an 'experiential stay-style store' open to the local community. The newly launched 'Hokukama BBQ' is an experiential content service that utilizes the garden spreading across approximately 700 square meters, allowing guests to enjoy meals in nature. It provides an open space where visitors can spend their time as they please.

Japan's First New Dining Experience Using 'Firewood x HOKUKAMA Griddle'

The biggest feature of this service is the cooking experience using Japan's first 'Firewood x HOKUKAMA Griddle.' By combining the far-infrared rays of a wood fire with the heat retention performance of a thick griddle, it is possible to achieve a fragrant exterior and juicy interior. Unlike charcoal fires, the entire process—from starting and tending the fire to cooking—becomes the experiential value itself, transforming mealtime into something richer. It also features a highly flexible cooking style that can handle various ingredients such as bagels, vegetables, and meat dishes.

Features of Hokukama BBQ

- BBQ experience in an outdoor garden space full of openness - New cooking style using wood fire and griddle - Fusion with bagels and original menus - Operational design for easy, hands-free enjoyment - Outdoor area where pets are allowed

Beyond just a BBQ, it provides the 'time spent in nature' itself as a value.

Operational Background

Hokukama Bagel has been operated under the theme of 'creating a place that doesn't end with just food.' Seeing people relaxing in the garden and children and pets spending time freely inspired the desire to further enhance the value of this space. Amidst this, the focus turned to the 'experience of gathering around a fire,' leading to the launch of this BBQ business.

Future Outlook

In addition to the BBQ, Hokukama plans to sequentially develop the following initiatives:

- Dining experiences utilizing hydroponically grown vegetables - Workshops utilizing bonsai and the garden - Community-participation events for children - Introduction of sauna facilities

As a 'place where new discoveries are made with every visit,' Hokukama aims to become a new lifestyle hub in Kamakura. Hokukama will continue to evolve as a place where food, nature, and people connect gently.
