• Tomato & Soymilk Cheese Vegetarian Sandwich
This has soymilk cheese, tomato, lettuce, and homemade bread. They make the bread themselves and the ingredients of the bread are: Beet sugar (甜菜糖), flour from Hokkaido (北海道産小麦粉), Shirakami Kodama yeast (白神こだま酵母), salt, olive oil.
A Japanese website called Sala says (from autotranslate): “Shirakami Kodama Yeast was discovered from the Shirakami mountain ranging over the prefectural boundaries of Akita prefecture and Aomori prefecture. It is said that the Shirakami mountain range was created by the uplift of the Sea of Japan about two million years ago from now. December 1993 It was registered as World Natural Heritage for the first time in Japan with Yakushima. A vast mountainous area of 130,000 ha, which is located at about 40 degrees north latitude and is a rare heavy snowy area worldwide, does not allow human invasion and it has a natural ecosystem for about 10,000 years I have kept defending. It is a valuable asset of the world which has been living on animals and plants and trillions of kinds of microorganisms, praising pure water with its mysterious mystery centering on the world’s largest beech wild forest.”
