Miyoko Honma will close her restaurant, Cafe Japon, at the end of June. She will keep the space open until July 21 as a bakery, but pending approval from Ann Arbor Township, hopes to move that operation to the Washtenaw County Food Hub on Whitmore Lake Rd. Already known for her mastery of formidably classic French techniques, she wants to add gluten-free baked goods to her repertoire, as well as use more local and organic ingredients.
