Since 2019

Inspired by the great loaves of bread that I've eaten throughout my life. My love of bread started when I was a little toddler - as an afternoon snack, my grandma would feed me Chinese steamed buns with BBQ pork, but I was more interested in the fluffy bun than the sweet meat filling.

Characteristics

Rich nutty flavor, with a nice tang. It becomes active about 3 hours after each feeding. It is cream-colored with speckles of black (buckwheat). It almost looks like black pepper in a bowl of rice porridge.
