The wife has recently been working on putting together an album of our trip to Shikoku, so we've both been yearning for
anpan. A baked good of infinite variety, at its simplest anpan is azuki paste stuffed in a bun. It is championed in Japan by the redoubtable Anpan Man. If you are ever in Hokkaido, there is
a store dedicated to him, the wife's second-favorite superhero.

We've been talking about putting a statue in our backyard. While I'm partial to
Durga killing the bufffalo demon...

...the wife is currently torn between Anpan Man...

...and
Totoro.

I think we'll have some steamed azuki-filled
bao for dinner.
