Present day, it has become a staple in Japanese food where the country has managed to expand bread and other baked goods to the point where people are now eating more bread than rice.

What was your defining memory of your first day in Japan? Perhaps it was the cleanliness and efficiency of the airport. Maybe it was the friendliness and courteousness of the staff at your hotel. For me, my most vivid memory of that first morning, was of the breakfast. Yes, you read it right, breakfast!
