Japanese city creates giant bread bed photo spot for limited time

Japanese city creates giant bread bed photo spot for limited time

At this year’s Bread Festival in Totsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, media company Supermarket Kakamu displayed a giant, fluffy piece of bread as a photo spot for festival-goers to snap shots with.
There’s the classic “sleeping butter toast,” in which someone sleeps on the bread bed wearing butter-colored pajamas.
Another recipe for “sleeping vegetable bread” calls for ingredients such as one lettuce blanket, tomato cushions, cucumber cushions, and a person wearing mayonnaise-colored pajamas.
They need to be nestled under a cheese blanket, various vegetable cushions, and wearing ketchup-flavored pajamas.
You’re no doubt thinking, “I want to sleep on the bread bed!” but we have some unfortunate news for you: the bed was only available to the public from July 19 to July 21.
