A Bread Box



Half way into our lunch, a young cook brought a wooden box to our table.  She cautioned us, “be careful, it is hot”.  After she left, I touched the box.  It was indeed very warm.  I removed the lid.  Inside were two rolls on a piece of preheated slate.  The crust of the rolls was crispy, and the inside soft.

  1. Neat! I once received a gift of a piece of clay that is being used to warm bread in a basket. Guess this is the same idea, just in a more structured presentation.
    Which restaurant is this?

  2. It is at a small restaurant in Osaka. The name is Fujiya1935. Despite the very Japanese name, the food is western. The chef apprenticed in French and Spanish cooking. You can google its website. There is an English version though the menu is in Japanese.

  3. Ah! The box is so Japanese! I should have guessed.

  4. Any restaurant that serves warm bread automatically received my approval. This one sounds extra special.
