　　　　　　　　　 [ No.18 ] My Breakfast 5.28. 2013

　Which do you prefer for your breakfast, Japanese or Western? My breakfast is a bread-based meal but I have a Japanese meal sometimes such as when I go on a trip. For a long time, my breakfast has been 2 slices of bread from a 6-slice loaf and with only butter and jam. My butter is margarine and my favorite jam is orange marmalade, although sometimes I have blueberry jam. Tomato juice, milk, cheese,tea, yogurt,cheese and a banana are also part of my morning meal. Sometimes I have a boiled egg ( Onsen Tamago ). I stick to all ( こだわり派、マニアック ) my favorite brands. For example, my bread is English bread of Andersen bakery of Kobe Sogo Dept. and the first time I ate this bakery’s bread was in 1972. I got married in 1972 and at that time, I was working as a TV sound effects man of a TV drama. I was recording music every week for that drama in Tokyo Avaco Studio in Aoyama. After recording, on the way home, one day, I found Aoyama Andersen Bakery which opened just before that time near Aoyama Gakuin University. It became a habit to go back and buy some bread for my wife. Andersen Tokyo was opened in 1970 and it was a very delicious bakery with a witty appearance store . Bakery Andersen was founded in Hiroshima in 1959, and there are many branch shops now. They opened three stores in Copenhagen recently which is Andersen’s hometown in Holland. I've lived a long time in Osaka and the Andersen shop is available now in Daimaru Shinsaibashi. As I eat 260-yen loaf with 6 pieces, I think it is a little expensive when compared with bread from the super market, but I have been eating my delicious bread more than 40 years. My yogurt is Meiji Bulgarian, my tea is Twinings English Breakfast Tea. Sometimes I also drink coffee and sometimes I eat eggs, but I like boiled eggs like ‘hot spring egg 温泉タマゴ’. I've heard that tomato juice is good for the prevention of baldness, but is it true ? Of course it’s Kagome tomato juice for me.

　I continue to enjoy this meal even after such a long time.

　Oh yeah, in addition, I am taking some supplements like Calcium and Vitamin E.

　How about your breakfast?
