For the first time in my sojourn here I had the milk bread from Mt.Trebor in Azabu Juban. I expected more after reading and speaking with others from here and in real life. I also falsely believed that I had never had bread from Mt.Trebor only to find out recently that there are 50+ branches including once in a supermarket I used to frequent. :D

Ah, this is what happens when someone who already has the keys to paradise tries a gateway drug!

The Azabu store is Mont Thabor.

Trebor is:

No transfiguration*event happened for Qy, perhaps, in this case, Trevor is the better name.

Wasn't Mt. Trebor the one in Life of Brian?

Who knew that my best buds from FT were Mont Travail milk bread pumpers.:p

I decided to post here because this is food-related.

Note: This is a long video; the first one is 37 minutes long, and the second one is 42 minutes long. The video is in Japanese, but you can see all the cooking, and in the second video, the owner comments in Spanish (his native language)

I have now lived in a non-native land as an expatiates longer than living in my native land as a native. However, I still see with amazement and respect when I see stories about expatriates living in a non-native land.

First video, a restaurant in rural Hiroshima. But people still venture out and line up outside the restaurant. I think this shows food is universal, even if people have never had such cuisine before; still, good food is good food no matter what.

Second video, the owner is creating their own dish using native flavors from Spain in Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki. Then adding a new Okonomiyaki item based on a request by the U.S. guy living in the area.
