The bread was too sweet and hard to eat...
weee.14458989
Delicious! Not too sweet despite the sugar; think pineapple bun, but balanced with a slight bitter edge of matcha. Comes in a bag of 5. I froze them, and heated each as needed in the oven, wrapped in foil, for 15 minutes at 350º F, which made it thoroughly warm and crusty. They're filling, and it only takes one for a serving. Best breakfast (with tea) or snack ever, and an instant repurchase!

yummy, my daughter likes it.

Tastes good and not too sweet
