There's a good selection of bread in Japan.
Walking down the street, you will see many bakeries in Japan.
You can find personal bakery, bakeries in department stores and shopping moles, bakery corners of supermarkets.
Japanese bread is very soft. Some people may think too soft and not good enough. But this is our countries’ bread.
Off course we have baguette and white bread, too.
But instead of eating bread with main dish, we Japanese tends to eat only bread (without main dish) when we eat them.
And we sometime eat bread as snacks for coffee time.
So there are lots of bread as deli (=like sandwich) and as sweet bun (=like snack, donut, cupcake).
This is just one example.

ウインナーパン Wiener roll: rolled bread inside wiener or sausage (No.3)
