History

Established in 2015.

"Kirari West" is a family owned bake shop that originated in Japan. Yoshi Saito (The Father) and Yoichi Saito (The Older Brother) came up with the concept of creating delicious pastries with locally grown quality rice flour instead of wheat. In 2011, the Saito family opened the first store, "Kirari" in the City of Fukushima. Kirari became the first and only store in the region to carry exclusively non-wheat pastries. Meanwhile, Hiro Saito (The Younger Brother) with such an independent spirit had long since moved away in 1996 to the US. However, in 2014, having found a new appreciation for connectedness and family, Hiro decided to join the family business. He collaborated with them to open the first store in the US aptly named "Kirari West.". Hiro wishes to give hope and courage for people in Fukushima to come back from the earthquake and struggles from the after mess by being a pioneer for a small company from Fukushima to pursue a dream overseas.
