How was our bean paste bun born?

English⇔Japanese


Yasubei Kimura opened the first bakery in Japan named "Bun-Ei-Do" near the current Shinbashi Station in 1869. Later, he changed its name to "Kimuraya" and eventually moved to Renga-gai in Ginza in 1874. Eizaburou invented a new type of bun, a sakadane bean paste bun, after years of research on the fermentation of rice and malt. The bean paste bun was a great harmony of Western bread and Japanese red bean paste. It became popular all over Tokyo and sold very well every day.
