Bread Shop
July 19, 2008
I love small out of the way places that only locals know about. On our trip out to the country we visited a small bread shop run by a mother and her three daughters. The shop consisted of a section for homemade breads and about 4-5 mis-shaped tables. On the top of one table was a book for customers to write in and on the other tables were books with pictures of flowers with diary entries beside them. Old country music songs played in the background, and at one time a gospel song came on, but of course it was in English and they didn’t know what it was.
For lunch we told the daughters to fix us whatever they wanted. We ate rice, miso soup, vegetables, boiled egg, and Japanese style pickles. It was oishikatta! In case you don’t know that is Japanese for “delicious”! After lunch and a yummy desert two of the daughters performed for us. One of the girls writes songs and plays the guitar. It was a treat to hear the original Japanese music. Please lift up the owners of this bread shop, that they would come to know Christ!
