Last week, my school newspaper interviewed a local baker, Mr. Yamada, who owns a bakery in Kyoto. Here is part of the interview:
Student: Mr. Yamada, how long have you owned your bakery?
Mr. Yamada: For 15 years. I started it with my wife after we moved to Kyoto.
Student: What kind of bread do you make?
Mr. Yamada: We make many kinds, like French bread and melon bread. Our customers love the red bean paste buns.
Student: Do you have a favorite?
Mr. Yamada: I like the pumpkin bread. It’s special in autumn.
Student: What’s the hardest part of your job?
Mr. Yamada: Waking up at 4 a.m. to bake fresh bread! But I love seeing happy customers.
