Ah, I've never really been a huge fan of breakfast, but having this bread with black coffee was fantastic. At least for me, the black coffee really brings out the flavor of the bread, similar to the way it enhances dark chocolates. While the...er..."expanding waistlines" phenomenon had never been something I had aspired to, it may be worth the price for their bread. I can eat this every with black coffee--sure beats donuts & coffee!

Tried it this morning along with various other of their bread offerings. While it didn't hit me as the Hokkaido milk bread did, it was good and something I'd enjoy have with some regularity. Also, noticed some locals grabbing an item and decided to follow suit. Not sure how to explain it, but had a very unique texture, kind of a gummy bear chewiness but with bread--it was incredibly tasty and probably my favorite one! No idea what it was or what it's called though.
