Bread Festival?

Joanna has been going to some cool events lately so when she told me that they were going to have a Bread Festival very close to us, then I was excited to go. I love bread so the thought of trying different types of bread made me look forward to today. There were a lot of people around and as we entered the shopping mall, we could see some booths set up and a few had some bread to sell. Japanese bread products are hard to explain but much of it is a bit strange like wiener on a flat piece of bread with some ketchup on it, or bread filled with sweet bean paste.

 We knew we were getting close.

Some bread for sale.

We finally came across a huge line that wrapped around and it turns out that they were selling bread in the basement of the bookstore and everybody in line had a blue ticket with a number on it. We weren't sure what it was and we thought maybe they were giving away some free bread or something. 


We walked further down and found a similar line at another corner. Again, people with blue tickets. We looked in the little room that was filled with people and it just looked like they were selling bread. Maybe it was special bread or Joanna thought that you had to buy a certain amount to get some sort of reward.


At that point we decided to abandon the Bread Festival because there wasn't much to do except get in a very long line and we knew where we could get the bread that we do like.

We went to DONQ. It is freshly baked bread and we have never been there early so their selection was fantastic. We got a large loaf of bread and some sandwiches. Joanna bought some olive oil spread and we went home and cut up the bread and enjoyed our relaxing time. The Bread Festival was disappointing but we still enjoyed our time together!
