I'd like to introduce the "The Lions Premium Bread" that's sold at Belluna Dome when games are being held.
 
This product, which has been on sale since 2020, is probably already familiar to The Lions fans. I only learned about its existence this season and bought it as a souvenir after attending a game. Along with an anecdote about my family's experience with "The Lions Premium Bread," I will introduce three reasons why I recommend it as a souvenir from attending a game at Belluna Dome.

The Lions Premium Bread will be sold at "Kyuben" (inside the gate plaza).

I went to Belluna Dome, a place I'd visited many times before, for the first time as a family to watch a game.

The stadium offered countless food stalls reminiscent of a festival, people stood up, cheered, and waved flags in a frenzy, and mascots and performers appeared between inning... For my young son, who had only ever watched baseball on television, the world inside the stadium, which he could never have imagined from watching the games on TV, unfolded before his eyes, and he gazed at everything with great interest the whole time.

After the game, Belluna Dome holds a field walk after almost every match. Stepping onto ground where the game had just been played, I watched my son happily running around and lying on the grass, and I felt a deep sense of satisfaction, thinking, "I'm so glad we came." I left ground feeling content.

Reason #1: "You can carry the excitement of the ballpark into your breakfast the next day."

"I want to buy some kind of souvenir to take home." I think this feeling comes along with the enjoyable experience. At that moment, what caught my eye was the "The Lions Premium Bread" sold at Kyuben in the plaza inside the gate.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear, "They sell bread at the stadium......!" and in the morning, the perfect souvenir for our bread-loving family made us want to be drawn into the store. When I spoke with the team, they said they had been selling bread since 2020. For six years, I had completely blinded this by buying the "The Lions Premium Bread (1 loaf)" and headed home.

The next morning, my son said, "I want to eat The Lions bread!" The "The Lions Premium Bread" has an initial "L" stamp. (The two-loaf size has a Leo mark stamp) Just as the chocolate plate with the birthday cake's name is served as the main dish, my son cut the "L" stamped part and the fluffy middle part.

"Next, I want pizza."
"(About Leo and Lina) Is that child a lion? Why is it white?"

Conversations at the dinner table naturally turned to Belluna Dome and The Lions. Because bread is part of everyday life, The Lions blended smoothly into our family's daily routine, creating a viewing experience that lasted until the day after the game.

Reason #2: "A morning where delicious bread awaits. Premium sliced bread adds color to everyday life."

"The Lions Premium Bread" costs 700 yen for one loaf. A two-loaf size costs 1,100 yen, which is a premium price compared to the bread you usually buy at the supermarket. However, after one bite, the taste was so good that I felt it was worth the price.

This product, baked in a bakery in Saitama Prefecture, is handmade one by one using a unique method. By incorporating plenty of moisture and allowing it to ferment for about 12 hours, it achieves an incredibly moist texture. No eggs or honey are used. Baked with carefully selected flour and domestic butter specifically for this loaf of bread, it was delicious even when eaten "raw" without toasting.

While delicious bread is available at the bakery near my house, the "The Lions Bread" that can only be bought at Belluna Dome is a special loaf of bread that holds many family memories. I want to buy it again the next time I go to watch a game, so watching a game at Belluna Dome and then buying bread to take home is likely to become a regular routine for our family.

Buying a loaf of bread as a souvenir unexpectedly added a small but exciting element to our family routine, making our everyday life a little brighter.

Reason #3: "It's also perfect as a souvenir for friends and acquaintances."

Many people will likely be buying souvenirs for friends and acquaintances after watching a game at Belluna Dome. There are countless attractive items to choose from, including apparel, cheering goods, sweets, and alcohol. But how about considering "a slightly upscale and delicious loaf of bread" as an option?

I personally think the price is just right for a souvenir, and I also recommend it because it comes in a special paper bag, so you can give it as a gift right away. However, it's only suitable as a souvenir for people you'll meet on the day of or the day after the game, but the unexpectedness of "sliced bread as a ball park souvenir" is sure to please the recipient.

These are the three reasons why we recommend "The Lions Premium Bread" as a souvenir from watching a game at Belluna Dome. This "premium" bread will carry the excitement of the stadium and the smiles of children enjoying themselves—the "fun experience"—to your breakfast table the next morning. It will be sold at the "Kyuben" stall in the plaza inside the gates starting one hour after the game begins, so we hope you will also experience this warm afterglow.
