Today, my lunch was a bagle. I bought this bagle at Bagle & Bagle from a NY style shop at Meguro. Yesterday I had some bread from Paul from Paris. I love to eat bread and I have my boom of bread, ha ha ha. Right now my boom is Freundlileb's' graham bread. Their main shop is in Kobe, fortunately there is a market nearby my office where they sell thier bread. When I went to Europe, I missed some kinds of breads. Compared to Europe, I cal tell you can try a huge variety of bread from all over the world in Japan,
Talking about Japan original bread, most popular one would be Anpan (stuffed sweet red beans). The most famous shop is Ginza Kimuraya. Number 2 would be "melon-pan", (cookies covered, not melon taste). Anpan, melon pan..yes in Japanese, pan means bread. Here is a melon pan fan site.
Japanese love them both Anpan and melon pan so much. Actually they became a hero and a heroine in kid's cartoons. Here is Anpan man and there is another pretty heroine called Melonpanna-chan. Of course we have Anpanman shape Anpan in many bakely. By the way, since Anpan-man is a hero, he is strong and is very kind. When someone needs energy, he gives his face to him and says, "please eat my face!!". What a heroic self-sacrifice he makes, good education for kids! However it is a little weird, actually. So many mindless adults make bad jokes about this on his website, here are mild example, this, this. See? You may suppose worse joke illustrations. Poor Anpan-man.!

Bagels with cream cheese make for a good quick breakfast.
My favorite kind of bread has to be San Francisco sourdough bread. It's good for buttered toast and sandwiches with roast beef or pastrami on them.

Anpanman is actually on TV in my country. our national television is broadcasting it. It's really cute...but meant for children. I don't watch it...it's too educative for me ^-^
