Brookline’s Japonaise Bakery and Cafe Shares Long-Awaited Reopening Update - Eater Boston
"Japonaise Bakery and Cafe, a popular spot for Japanese-meets-French treats, has been closed for over a year for extensive renovations. The bakery, which has not been renovated since its opening in 1985, faced equipment issues. Owner Takeo Sakan has been raising funds through a GoFundMe campaign and provided updates on the renovation progress, stating that there's one more permitting hurdle to be crossed and the remaining work should take about three months." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
