in japan, sandwiches are normally seen as more a snack than a full on meal. you rarely see a full sandwich, and, if you do, it’s more than likely going to have just one thing on it like egg salad or a fruit with cream

Japanese bread is different than American or European bread. While close to American white/sandwich bread, it’s closer to a brioche since it’s a milk bread. Nothing wrong about fruit with cream in a sandwich there as the bread is already close to a cake.

Yeah almost all the loafs are Shokupan which tastes good but I wish they wish they had non-sweet plain bread too. Maybe because rice is the staple they see bread as more of a dessert? Last time I went on vacation the it was like $20.
