As a hot twink baker, I absolutely understand the differences between Jap bread and Western Bread. Their bread IS softer, because they do a thing called "Tangzhong". Essentially, you take a little bit of your flour and milk, and heat them together until they turn into a "toothpaste-like consistency. Then you add it to the rest of your bread mixture in your mixer and make it as normal. This gives their breads a "pillowy" texture. It's very pleasant, I have noticed that it helps retain moisture longer too.

In terms of "Sandwiches as salty flavored"... I dunno about Br*ts, but that's not quite how they're viewed here in America. Sandwiches are mainly SAVORY. Which CAN be a bit salty in nature sure, especially so if you use lunch meats. But SAVORY is the opposite of sweet in our brains' interpretation of taste. That's why the most satisfying meals have something savory, then sweet, something spicy, then fatty, etc... With that said, it's no wonder that Brits are going a little crazy about this. It's something that looks familiar to their eyes, but takes their palate in a whole other direction.

I'm gay and retarded.
