On May 31, 1983, the Japanese first shop of the JOHAN opened in Ginza Mitsukoshi.

I started with talking about the circumstances with Mr. Professor Emeritus French national milling, Bread school Calvet Le to produce whether there was not the good shop which it was possible for of the tie-up. The condition the "being the "cooking good bread" "there being a shop in Paris" name that is easy to learn to Japanese" "thing that is good the personality of the owner." ・・ ・ that was "Roland Johan" of the suburbs of Paris.

And the Japanese JOHAN first shop opened on May 31, 1983. "The department store bakery" to display freshly made bread was always groundbreaking for those days. The catch phrase "world Bread which JOHAN makes". I aimed at the shop where a world representative meal bun was even on without being particular only about French bread.

There is the JOHAN of 16 stores in the all over Japan now from Hokkaido to Kyushu. The technical staff hones the skill to send delicious bread to a customer and continues cooking bread with love.
