The World of Japanese Bread

“Do they eat bread in Japan?”

As a Japanese living in Europe, I am often asked this question. The answer is, “Of course we do!” Many people think that bread is not something Japanese people eat on a daily basis, but in fact, Japanese people love bread and have their own unique bread. There is even a book/anime series of bread superheroes, called "Anpanman"🤩 Explore the world of Japanese bread and try some recipes!
