Bread takes centre stage in this restaurant called Bakery Restaurant. Not only do they provide a wide array of bread for adults, but it also boasts a dome-shaped little nook filled with appetising bread for toddlers and children. Customers can eat as much bread as they want to, btw. And nope, I don’t know how they make a profit.

As to how books play a supporting role in this restaurant, it has thoughtfully assembled books related to bread in English and Japanese alike. Customers can choose a book to bury their heads in while dining at this restaurant. My aspiring reader did choose a book to read by himself.

I think that’s what we need more of in society. Businesses finding subtle, clever ways to encourage reading in their respective corners. Relying less on gamification that necessitates young developing minds to use smartphones and iPads
