Still looking for the perfect snack to compliment your tinned tea or coffee? A product as compact and convenient as your favourite ready-made beverage?
Well, further foraging is at last unnecessary, because here it is: canned bread.
Yes, bread in a tin. It lasts for 3 years too. And if that’s not enough, you can also choose between chocolate chip, raisin and nut, or the slightly more adventurous coffee, raisin and nut variety. Amazing eh?
Did I mention it comes in a can?
Acutely aware however of such a reaction to its product, the organization behind it have opted for a no-nonsense and self explanatory name – Pan Desuyo! (This is Bread!). Which is perhaps as well, because on first inspection it may not be immediately obvious.
There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by RSS, and now even Twitter too.

I once knew someone who used to eat cat food sandwiches. Now, I am no businessman, but that last shot inspired me into thinking about combining a can of Kitty-Kat meat with the aforementioned canned bread. There is a market for people who like a touch of cat meat pate in their baguette.
Bread in a can…. How bizzare…. Did you actually try it? It looks like you bought a can of bread yourself. Did I just say ‘canned bread’? I did. That’s weird. I know Japan is a nation full of convenience but canned bread just seems like a bad idea. Especially since they have some really good bakeries there I can’t imagine this ever catching on.
I like the fact that the Suntory Coffee Boss apparently smokes a pipe. All bosses should smoke pipes as it lends them an air of authority sadly all too lacking in todays business environment.
That’s not weird. B&M makes brown bread that comes in a can. Maybe it’s a regional thing…
Canned bread. That’s pretty hilarious
I guess I would never stop getting surprised with japanese 
The can part, although very odd, I can somehow accept. But I am concerned with the fact that it “stays fresh” for 3 years…
Staying fresh for three years is nothing, a Twinkie has a shelf life of over 10!
Now THAT is weird!
