Queue for such a small store! Japan's narrowest butter sandwich store to open in Motomachi, Kobe on September 13

BonbonROCKett, a Kobe Rokko butter sandwich specialty store, opened the narrowest butter sandwich store in Japan (according to our own research) in Motomachi, Kobe on September 13, 2024 (Friday).

The store is located on a street just north of the Daimaru Kobe store, a 3-minute walk from JR Motomachi station. The store is so small that you could easily pass by it if you are careless. The blue tent with the image of a rocket is the landmark!

The frontage of the store is only about 1 meter, which is the width of a door!

Customers who finally found the small store and came to the store responded, "It's so small! But it's so small and cute!

I'm so happy to have a store so close by! I'm so glad we have a shop so close by!

Have you ever seen a store with only one door?

A small little store appeared at the end of the line!

▼ Butter sandwiches are a joy with 15 kinds to choose from!

Although we are the smallest butter sandwich store in Japan, we always have 15 kinds of Cream Sandies (butter sandwiches, refrigerated) and 3 kinds of GRAM ROCKett (chocolate sandwiches, room temperature) to choose from, so you can still enjoy a wide variety of sandwiches. We look forward to serving you!

Which one should I choose? Getting lost is one of the most important pleasures, isn't it?

15 kinds of butter sandwiches are lined up in a 1m width!

The magic door, open sesame!

Can we really open a store in this space that is so difficult to get in and out of?

After much deliberation, we asked the craftsman to install a magic door under the custom-made sales stand.

It is a magical sales stand that serves as both a place to sell and a place for staff to enter and exit.

Let me show you the moment the magic door opened.

A flying freezer?

The fixtures installed on the second floor could not be raised from the stairs on the first floor, so we asked a crane operator to bring them in.

The crane operation was truly craftsmanship.
