The neighborhood bread shop

There is a bread shop that I pass on my way to town.  I go often enough that everyone knows me and I will buy bread and eat it at the picnic bench outside their shop.
 
For a little bakery there are certainly a lot of different kinds of bread. There are lunch breads with cheese or vegetables or curry and of course sandwiches...  How about a fried noodle sandwich?  (Hmm.  Not my choice either.)  There are dessert breads such as custard cream bread, chocolate cream bread and sweet bean paste bread. 



There are all sorts of cute beads too... Little bears, bunnies, Totoro (a Japanese character) and superheroes. 


How about some paw print bread?  When I visit the bread shop I always get the impression that the baker has a lot of fun thinking up new types of bread.


These were new... fish bread.... There seem to be fish sticks inside...


W~o~w!  Yes, that is what you think it is...  It is named "oppai bread" so now you know the Japanese word for br--sts.  It is filled with milk cream.  I don't think the owner was being ribald...  Oppai bread seems to be a popular bread with the neighborhood children.


I love walking into the bread shop!  Such an aroma!  What shall I have for today's lunch?
