Rice has been a staple of Japanese cuisine for centuries, but in recent decades, bread has become an increasingly popular part of the daily diet. In fact, since 2011, Japanese households have been spending more on bread than on rice according to a survey from the Japanese Internal Affairs Ministry. Japanese bakeries, known as <em>pan-ya<\/em>, offer a fascinating blend of culinary traditions.

However, it wasn&#8217;t until the Edo period, during the Opium Wars in China, that bread began to be produced on a larger scale to sustain military troops. With the opening of Japan&#8217;s borders and Westernization during the Meiji Restoration, bread increasingly became part of the Japanese diet. It became a common food after WWII, thanks to large quantities of wheat sent as aid to the war-torn population.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image caption-align-center\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223333\/Bakery_Japan_4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Many Japanese bakeries are inspired by France. Photo: Maria Pe\u00f1ascal<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Historically, Japanese baking has been primarily inspired by French traditions. The first baguettes appeared in 1888 with the opening of <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sekiguchipan.co.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Sekiguchi Furansu Pan<\/a>, Tokyo&#8217;s first authentic French bakery. At the same time, Japanese bakers began experimenting and creating unique types of bread that incorporated local ingredients and culinary traditions. The first example is <em><a href=\"http:\/\/htoc-anpan\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">anpan<\/a><\/em>, invented by a former samurai who opened his Bun&#8217;eido bakery (later known as <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kimuraya-sohonten.co.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Kimuraya<\/a>) in 1871.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Original Japanese recipes, often sweet, showcased a different idea of bread<\/strong>, viewing it more as a standalone snack than a meal accompaniment. In recent years, the French influence has been complemented by inspiration from northern Europe, introducing cinnamon rolls, strudels, and rye bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-how-to-shop-in-japanese-bakeries\">How to Shop in Japanese Bakeries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most bakeries in Japan use a <strong>&#8220;self-service&#8221; system<\/strong>. When you enter, you take a tray and special tongs to help yourself from the variety of bread displayed on the shelves. Once you&#8217;ve filled your tray, head to the checkout, where your selections are wrapped for takeout \u2014 alas, this often results in a considerable amount of paper or plastic waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"102675\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"102676\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"102677\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/29223623\/Bakery_Japan_3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Japanese bakeries are cozy places to linger and choose bread from the many types on display.

The filling&#8217;s texture can vary from smooth and creamy (<em>koshian<\/em>) to chunky with pieces of azuki beans (<em>tsubuan<\/em>). Anpan holds a special place in Japanese culture, to the point of inspiring a beloved children&#8217;s cartoon character, Anpanman. Some bakeries even offer anpan buns shaped like the character&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-kuriimupan\">Kuriimu Pan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests (<em>kuriimu<\/em> comes from \u201ccream\u201d), <em>kuriimu pan<\/em> (\u30af\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u30d1\u30f3) is a soft sweet bun similar to anpan but filled with custard.
