Very popular sweet bread. 【Japanese red bean buns】

Overview

Red bean bread is a traditional Japanese snack bread. It is sold in almost every bakery in Japan. Its figure has also appeared in movies and TV shows from time to time. The slightly burnt skin exudes the aroma of bread. The grainy red bean filling is fragrant and sweet. The overall soft texture makes the whole body immersed in happiness and sweetness. The bread looks simple and homely, but the taste is very delicate and sophisticated, so it is inevitable to have high popularity. I originally planned to use the red bean paste filling I bought. Then I thought I’d better stop being lazy and went out to buy red beans and make the stuffing myself. It’s delicious and healthier
