German bread on the anniversary of the reunification of Germany

Today is a public holiday in Germany for National Day. It falls on the anniversary of the reunification of Germany, which happened on October 3rd 1990, 45 years ago this year. The reunification happened 11 months after the Wall of Berlin was torn down, a day I remember clearly even though I was a 'tweenager' at the time. Happy German Unity Day. 

The German Bread Study Group in Japan, who have been promoting German Bread since 1978, saw an opportunity in German Unity Day. They decided to register October 3rd here in Japan, as German Bread Day, to further popularize the German eating habits of traditional German bread as healthy. What distinguishes German bread is its firm texture and main ingredient of rye. 

On this German Unity Day and German Bread Day how about purchasing some German bread at a nearby bakery! Add some cheese and sausages and German beer for a German style brunch, lunch or dinner! Do you buy German Bread in Japan?
