So I looked this up and the whole story is wild.
Basically, market research for japanese bakeries determined that a) they sell more breads and pastries the more different varieties they have, and b) japanese bakery customers prefer items which are not wrapped, because individually wrapped things give the impression of being like, preserved or something instead of fresh and good I guess? So the obvious solution is to sell as many different kinds of unwrapped breads and pastries as you can.

Thanks for the heads-up!
That's a pretty fair shipping price - it's €22 from Bien Manger in France for a similar up-to-10 kg weight.

We also found real Hungarian paprika at the Austrian Supermarket (where we bought the canned and ready-meal Paprika Hendl), but getting it from actual Hungary seems an even better idea. And then there are those oils, which I've never seen anywhere else...
Besides, I'm familiar with Szeged paprika, the Hot version ..read more
