jam bun
The pairing of sweet jam and soft bread is just perfect, isn’t it? Taking a bite of a jam-filled bun instantly makes you feel happy.
Jam buns have a deliciousness that’s different from toast spread with jam.
These days most jam buns are filled with strawberry jam, but when they first went on sale, apricot jam was the standard.
Later, it shifted to strawberry and apple jam.
It’s said that sweet-and-tangy strawberry jam buns go especially well with tea.
They’re also recommended with milk.
