I am hoping Kim, who posted the link, reads Japanese and might be able to translate a few of the recipes or knows of another site that has true Japanese style Pain de Mie, hotel and their regular milk sandwich loaf recipes already translated into English. I translated one of the recipes via Google but the translation was off and the recipe made no sense at all. I suspected that beautiful stringy texture, not crumby like most US breads, was all in the kneading and folding techniques and from the pictures posted with the recipes in Kanji, I guessed right. If I do go and have it translated I will be sure to post the english versions of the recipes. After I test it ofcourse :) I will keep you posted. Thank you Susan :) That is a great suggestion.

I LOVE the Japanese breads sold in the bakeries (the sliced milk or hotel breads that have an almost stringy texture when pulled apart). I am almost an intermediate baker but have yet to find a recipe or instructions on the technique to make it. I love the link that kim posted http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/e-pan/recipe/reccipe.htm but can not read it. Does anyone know if this book or the recipes have been translated to english or where I can buy really great Japanese bread cookbooks? I might pay to have someone translate a few of the recipes. That is how much I love to bake and how much I love Japanese breads. Yes, I can just go down the street to buy it, but there is so much satisfaction to be able to make a really GREAT loaf by hand. Also, when I rotate from Okinawa, I would love to be able to have great Japanese style bread wherever or whenever I want. I use only commercial quality ingredients and King Arthur flour. Please help! If you know of any baking schools that I could go to in Okinawa while stationed here, I would love to do that also. Thank you :) Hello,

The address is below. http://hidehide.net/bread-english.shtml When I find others, I'll let you know. I've just come back from my vacation in Honolulu, Hawaii. It has great nature and a lot of shops, but not many bakery or nice cafe, especially @ Waikiki... (I still love Hawaii, though.) I used to live in San Francisco. I miss there!! Susan,

Yes, we have a lot of unique original bread here. And I want people in other country to know the Japanese bread. I've been thinking this since I started baking bread. Now bread baking is quite popular in Japan. There are a lot of bread baking studios. It's widely spreading in Japan. And many people have own blog about bread. I wish I could own bakery shop in America... Hi Susan,
