On 3rd June, 2012, there is a news which is about that purchases of breads par one family conquers rice's first ever in the history.
The article shows a difference between a summarized amount of purchase for bread and rice last year. It says average of payment for bread was ¥28,368 = $354.60 ($1 as ¥80) and for rice was ¥27780 = $347.25. It analyzes why it happened is that because of changing life-style, people not cooking rice but buying at convenience-store and also price of imported wheats getting higher than before world-widely.
For me, it's really interesting because I love breads more than rice. I haven't cooked rice even scarcely have eaten, but I buy breads a lot. Every single of week, I visit a lot of bakeries, so... Yes, Tokyo has too many bakeries which beautifully good breads serving. Actually Tokyo should be famous as breads moreover France and Germany, I reckon. If you like breads, why don't you come down Tokyo and find your favourite shops, I may guarantee you that you may definitely find the ones. Because, Tokyo is "Bread Heaven"!
