I have never been to Japan, but I know that the dairy from Hokkaido is very famous. They have a special kind of beef which can fetch more than $20/pound. Although I don't have the privilege to try the beef, I still can make the bread recipe that derived from Hokkaido ! You can, too !
Japanese light cheese cake and honey cake are pretty popular and delicious as well...
Ahhh! Nothing compares to the aroma of freshly baked bread !
