Horta

Horta is a small and elusive bakery located on Koiue Street in Hiroshima. This spot has remained under the radar, with only a minimal online profile, and is reportedly open just once a week. Despite its rarity, the bakery is noted for simple yet charming packaging of its baked goods, which are wrapped in clear bags and tied with delicate strings and bookmarks.

Visiting Horta can be considered an adventure, as its location may easily be bypassed unless you approach slowly by car or better yet, arrive on foot or by bicycle to avoid any inconvenience on the narrow paths. Horta does not offer a wheelchair-accessible parking space, nor does it provide delivery options; takeaways, however, seem possible.

There is a notable reputation for the bakery's homemade products, particularly its flavorful breads and pastries. Beyond this, specific details about its operations, such as exact opening hours and the current menu offerings, remain unknown. With the latest customer reviews being over a year old, prospective visitors may find that some patience and effort could lead to discovering both its delights and any updates directly at the source.
