Fat!Bread in TINYLOAVES confused me no end. For some reason, thin sliced bread is hard to find but the enormous slices are just... weird. Who needs a slice of bread an inch thick? You'd give yourself lockjaw eating a sandwich.
I've already talked about the weird sponge cake in another thread but I will say, I was almightily impressed with the quality and range of French-style patisserie goods available. That was almost the entirety of my culture shock; coming in a country less than 20 miles from the coast of France and yet getting much much better croissant in Osaka, over 9000 (Stop that.) miles away from France. No wonder Tokyo now holds more Michelin star restaurants than any other city.
