Hey, let me tell you about bread I bought some bread the other day. In the states, you walk into the store and you have nearly an entire wall of puffy carbohydrates available for purchase. Here, you get a tiny little section about 1/32 the size, and with one kind of bread: white. Sometimes they have rye (white bread with some extra grains thrown in) or rasin bread. This is the land of rice, which there is an entire wall of the grocery store dedicated to. Bread takes second chair here. Pretty much all bread comes in these smaller packages that are about a third of the size of a loaf in the states. Japan tends to be pretty humid, so in summer a huge loaf would get moldy pretty fast (they don’t put preservatives in their food here either). You can buy 4,6, or 8 slice packages. Same amount of bread, different thicknesses. This is probably everything you ever wanted to know about bread in Japan. Actually, you probably weren’t too interested in that to begin with. Too bad, I just put some useless knowledge into your head! Anyway, I bought this bread because I made some hummus the other night to spread on it. Good times, that was.
