Apart from looking cute, the bread is said to be great in taste and quality. It’s made with 100% Hokkaido milk - no water - and infused with honey, fresh cream, and butter for a richer taste.

The plain milk one is highly raved, but there are also other variations which include cheese, azuki beans, and chocolate.

People have also gotten creative at home by styling the bread slices into elaborate arrangements, with the help of spreads and other side ingredients like fruits and biscuit sticks.
