very happy to discover the nice curry bread
Located near Seta Station in Shiga, " baobabu no ki ( バオバブの木) " offers a variety of bread at reasonable prices. It has been a beloved bakery among locals and commuters for over 20 years. If you’re near the station, it’s worth a visit.
I tried the rye bread and curry bread. The rye bread had a rich flavor, with fragrant walnuts and a pleasantly chewy, grainy texture. I like this firm mouthfeel. The curry bread, a staple in Japanese bakeries, was a standout for me. The crispy fried crust paired perfectly with the soft, slightly spicy curry filling. Everything I tasted had great dough quality, making this bakery a good choice.
Sweet breads are ones that I can't wait to...
