Hokkaido is an island in Japan that’s well-known for its ski areas and hot springs. It’s also famous for its rich and creamy dairy products as well as flour. When Hokkaido flour is used to make bread, it creates soft, fluffy loaves that have a slightly sweet flavor. If you’ve never tasted this type of bread before, Brug Bakery in Honolulu serves up a delicious assortment of the tasty Japanese treat. Below are some of the shop’s best-selling Hokkaido loaf bread.
