Do You Eat Your Sandwiches With The Crust On?

or perhaps like many upper crust restaurants you remove the crust,


photograph Imperial Hotel Co., Ltd. which is to say the least a bit wasteful, with that in mind the vast majority of milk bread sandwiches made daily in Japan have their crusts removed, while crusted sandwiches do exist, the general perception is that the fluffy, white part of Japanese shokupan milk bread is tastier than the brown crust, Tokyo Chef Sugimoto and his team at the Imperial Hotel Co., Ltd. spent six months developing an innovative type of bread that they claim eliminates the need to get rid of the crust, Sugimoto’s idea was to create a crust that didn’t have to be discarded in the first place, although Imperial Hotel did not fully disclose the secret behind its new white crust bread, it did mention that it is baked slowly at a lower temperature than regular shokupan bread, which results in a white colour all through the bread and a more moist texture, founded in 1890 by Japanese aristocracy, Imperial Hotel used to serve crustless milk bread sandwiches to its customers, but starting on October 1st of this year, they will be switching to this new white crust bread, thus decreasing its food waste considerably, the white crust bread will be served in the Imperial Hotel’s restaurants and at banquets, but people will also be able to purchase it from Gargantua Delicatessen, a luxury bakery that has been operating since 1971, I wonder if this crustless bread will be made in the UK”s upper crust restaurants and hotels?
