An Irish owner of a restaurant in Matsue City challenges the Guinness World Record for how long bread can be baked. With the support of the local people, we successfully achieved "16 hours", which exceeded the current world record by more than 48 hours.

The record was challenged by Alan Fisher, 40, an Irishman who owns a restaurant in Matsue City.

Ms. Fisher began baking traditional bread from her home country called "soda bread" at 25 a.m. on the 9th of this month.

The challenge was to break the Guinness World Record for how long bread can be baked. The goal was to set a goal of "31 hours", exceeding the current world record of 16 hours and 48 minutes.

Mr. Fisher bakes bread one after another. Behind the challenge was the painful past of repeated cancellations of reservations experienced during the Corona disaster.

Now that we have overcome the Corona disaster, we have challenged an unprecedented record to bring the store back to life.

After the volunteer archivist took pictures of the baked bread, it was served free of charge to customers, and people visited the store day and night to eat the freshly baked bread in the store and take it home to support Fisher's challenge.

Shortly after 26 p.m. on the 4th, Fisher surpassed the current world record of 31 hours and 16 minutes, but Fisher did not stop.

After two days of continuing to aim higher and baking bread without sleeping, Ms. Fisher celebrated her record achievement by toasting with beer from her home country while achieving her goal of "2 hours" at 27 a.m. on the 9th, receiving congratulations from the applause and drums of those who rushed to the event.

The number of baked breads that I am interested in is 48.

Mr. Fisher said, "I had a pain in my back after standing all the time, but I was fine, and I was able to do my best with the support of many customers. Thank you very much," he said with a smile.

It will be reviewed in the future, and it will be decided whether it will be recognized as a world record in about a week at the earliest.

In addition, Fisher plans to challenge another world record of "how long can you continue to cook" from the 28th, and will continue making stews and roast beef with a goal of 120 hours, and it will be interesting to see how many world records will be set in Matsue City.
