Buns, buns, and more buns (and a few not buns)

The following is self-explanatory. Taken over a few days in various bakeries in and around Tokyo. I didn’t try most except for the melon buns, which tastes a lot like the Chinese pineapple buns I grew up on. Ginza is said to be the melon bun capitol.

Two different melon buns.

Buns in the shapes of animals.

Cute

Also cute. How do people bear to eat it? That bottom middle one looks a little special.

Buns from a convenience store across the street. I do indeed love mayo, but maybe not quite like that.

Not a bun but a donut. I thought this place was only in NYC, how did it end up in Shinjuku Japan? The drink is a real Canada Dry diet ginger ale, imported from the US. It cost almost $4, worth every penny (or yen).

A wafflewich, ice cream and chocalate on the inside.

Ok, also not buns, but “New York Style” bagels. Zoom in and you’ll find that new york style includes a grilled teriyaki bagel. Hey, what about miso bialies?

More adventures with food to come…
