New 10,000-yen bill issued at last! Three kinds of "Japan's first edible bill bread" are available!
Real banknotes are made into cute illustrations of bills!
The design of the bills was created to resemble real bills. The design of each bill is made to resemble a real bill, with the characteristics of each great person captured in the design with attention to detail.
Waterless brioche dough
The ingredients used are carefully selected, with the main ingredients being domestic wheat and domestic fermented butter. The brioche dough has a rich buttery flavor. The dough is made without water, giving it a moist texture with the mellow flavors of milk and butter.
Baking method
It is extremely difficult to make the bread square and flat so that it does not puff up. If it is not flattened, the print of the bill will not come out beautifully. It is also important to control the temperature so that the bread turns a beautiful beige color. The craftsmanship of this product is a gem in that it is not a simple process.
