About us

I've spent my career working as an engineer but I always had a passion for cooking and baking. 

I realized my passion while travelling in Japan several years ago with my wife who grew up in Osaka. I was served several different breads from a local bakery for breakfast at my in-laws home. I thought "Why am I being served bread? There are so many other food to try in Japan! I can get bread back home."

It was then I realized that Japan had somehow innovated bread, something so simple. I got hooked and wondered "How could Japanese bread be so different? Why don't we have this in Canada?"

JayPan is a project I've been working on with my wife for a couple years and we're happy to bring the world of Japanese bread to Canada.

I love nothing more than to create special experiences through food and would love to help others enjoy Japanese bread here in Ottawa. We hope you savour our JayPan bread!
