New Crepe and Fried‑Chicken Outlets Open in Saitama Cities

A newly built container‑type shop near the historic "Toki no Kane" clock tower in Kawagoe City, Saitama, is being prepared to launch a crepe and espresso café. The outlet is part of the "Pan to Espresso" brand that operates numerous cafés across the Kanto and Kansai regions.

In nearby Okegawa City, construction is under way on a takeaway restaurant specialising in oversized fried chicken pieces. The shop, called "Kitchen Bus Stop Okegawa," will be located a short walk east of Okegawa Station, between the "Asunaro Library" and the Okegawa Tourist Association offices, with an expected opening in late August 2026. Both venues are aimed at expanding popular food concepts within the Saitama prefecture.
