I went early. The baker apologized: he would not be able to slice the bread for me, because it was so freshly baked that it was still warm. I bought three loaves:  Roggebrot, Vollkornbrot, Siebenkornbrot. Rye, whole wheat, seven-grain bread.

I waited at the bus stop with the warm bread cradled in my arms. You know it's real German bread when it's so heavy that it's easier to cradle it than to carry it in one hand. Brot, I thought. BRRROOOTTT. (I always imagine that in the voice of Captain Holt.) I'll let it cool off, slice it, freeze it…and then enjoy one precious slice a day. OK maybe two.

PS: Real German bread is rare in Tokyo. Baguettes everywhere, but bread that breaks your teeth? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Not so much. Worth an excursion. Tagging @shoku-and-awe.
