Americans favorite German bakery items after living 2.5 years in Germany!

[@marcusbastian1502]

Bienenstich und Käsebrezel. My favorites!!!!

[@OurStorytoTell]

They are hard to beat!!

[@roberthernandez2989]

As always, great videos guys.

[@OurStorytoTell]

Thanks so much Robert! 😊 It was sure a tasty one!

[@TheSolvenceny]

Never heard of Erbeer Croissant, but interesting what some backeries have there.

[@berk835]

Love both of you. Remarkable.

A have a fun recollection of my Japan trip of many years ago. I was at a seaside resort and got hungry. So I looked for a bakery shop. Having found one that looked pretty much like any in Germany (substitute customer faces with Japanes ones) I looked at their offering and found a familiar looking pastry. It appeared to be a danish with a whitish pastry just like the one you held up with the Quark filling. So I got that one and found me a place with a view of the ocean. Got the "danish" out and took a good bite. But then, what the heck, that tasted nowhere like Quark or even pudding! It was albeit a fish paste! I essentially got the Japanese version of a Fischbrötchen. After my taste buds got settled down I went about it.Because it was quite good. But expectation and reality took some time to find themselves on the same spot. So I purged any memory of German/European, even US, danish and indulged into Japanese food. Lesson learned: Never expect what you think it is by the looks of it if in a foreign country. Better go for the strange items with which you are not coming up with a pre-set expectation acquired at home. And when going for familiar looking thinks always be on the alert for a surprise.

You're so going to miss the bakery items in Japan. When you ask Germans or people who have lived in Germany and now live somewhere else what they miss most, the answer is usually "the bread"!

[@zeideerskine3462]

There is one bakery in Tokyo that is owned and run by an Austrian master baker and several "German Bakeries" that are of questionable authenticity as they cater to the Japanese taste but are not too bad. There may be a few good ones that I do not know about.

[@OurStorytoTell]

We know that will be us 😂🤣

[@roberthernandez2989]

I live in wiesbaden for 23 yrs now and 8 yrs in bremerhaven. Im from the usa. Bread is not something I wake up to eat. Bread is not what I would miss. I would miss the people I met.

[@DalaiDrama-hp6oj]

@@OurStorytoTell In Yokosuka there seems to be a bakery called "Brot Baum" and also a lot of French ones 🥖

[@supernova19805]

@@roberthernandez2989 Since this was a video on bakery items, I felt it was safe to comment on just that subject. If there is a video on people, I would comment on the people of course. I've lived in the U.S. now for decades, and I still miss the German bread. In fact I miss it so much, I started baking it myself. Hm, hm, GOOD!

[@andreaskelch8695]

we will miss u in Germany

[@lutrabee]

If you still find it, Kirchenmichel/Kirchenplotzer usually for the cherry season (sweet), but you can do it with preserved cherries as well, depends on if you like sweet or sour cherries more and added to the dough, you use leftover bread rolls. Russische Brezeln (Russian bretzel, don't ask me why they are named this way), a sweet bretzel.

[@morgenstern1234]

my favourite way to eat the "Ecke" is with cream cheeese, Putenbrust and tomatoes. So yummy

[@ritagiffin9403]

Bienenstich was always my favorite being from Germany it's almost a must.Good luck in Japan.

[@OurStorytoTell]

Thank you! Seriously it is so good! 😋

[@zoe17z]

btw, at ~11:36 Willa says "fertig" and not "magic" *klugscheiß like a German* ;D So your favorites are kinda lye rolls. Laugengebäck. I think at some pont I would just tryout different receipts, so I can bake my favorite bread all by myself when moving to a country where bakeries are not a thing. ;)

[@pinkhope84]

I hope you tried Quarkbällchen, they are soooo good ❤

[@OurStorytoTell]

We love them! We’ve made them at home a few times as well!

[@wallerwolf6930]

We eat the pretzel sticks, including those with or without cheese topping, usually with some sausage. So the pretzel stick is cut open and some butter is applied and a type of sausage ;-))

[@geab.2182]

6:55 I love Laugen-Ecken, too ♦️♦️♦️

[@OurStorytoTell]

It’s just so good 😋

[@jjivy6310]

What a wonderful bunch of samplings! Can’t wait to see what you find in Japan. Y’all are in for more adventures in food… ❤I have enjoyed all of your videos so far and I can’t wait to learn more about your move.

[@holger_p]

Yes your "ecke" is like a croissant put in caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) like a Pretzel, that gives this dark brown crust.

[@isana788]

I actually didn't plan to have breakfast today, but now I have to. But don't worry, folks, I've heard that the pastries in Japan are supposed to be very good as well. Tokyo is so cool.

[@dreasbn]

Im a Sucker for Rosinenschnecken… but the quality may vary from bakery to bakery… i looooove Herrentorte and seasonal Blechkuchen like Rhabarber or Aprikose 🤤

[@RobertZander-yz3bg]

You actually used to have this very often in privately run bakeries or butcher shops, where each one had its own specialties, one bakery had very good rolls, another had very good Berlin pancakes or streusel snails and another bakery then had great fruit cakes, that's what we're all about then got up early depending on what was desired for breakfast or coffee and cake in the afternoon. Even if it doesn't exist in this form in Japan, there will still be good food, I'm really looking forward to your discovery tours.

[@DalaiDrama-hp6oj]

My Favourite? -> Krapfen ... but the Rheinland/Karneval - version with raisins and lot's of air inside...

[@K__a__M__I]

Watching this makes me miss German bread, too...and i'm german in Germany and not going anywhere. 🤣

[@Force-Majeure]

I recommend Streuselkuchen, Riemchentorte, Pflaumenkuchen (a seasonal item; add a little bit of Cinnamon and lots of whipped cream on top), Herrentorte (might contain white wine as an ingredient but alcohol is gone thru baking process, only the taste is still there) and last but not least Grillasch

[@winfriedmeier3699]

Meine Tochter war gerade in Japan. Sie ist froh wieder in Deutschland zu sein. Das Brot 🍞 war für sie eine Zumutung. Und auch das Essen ist ihr am Ende nicht mehr bekommen. Eigentlich ist sie ein Japan Fan.

[@tillneumann406]

Sad to see you leave after just having discovered you recently (although I must admit I hadn't been too much into KZbin vlogs until about four weeks ago). I wish you all the best for your next foreign life, and while I (as a German who once spent an exchange year in the U.S.) have been most interested in your opinion on the cultural differences, I may just look into what you may have to offer from Japan:

[@geab.2182]

I love Kürbiskern-Brötchen, toooo, just like youuu 🤍🤍🤍

[@OurStorytoTell]

Mmmm can’t get enough! 😋😋

[@starseed8087]

Watching the video makes me really hungry 😅

[@geab.2182]

3:48 About "Kutzer Backhaus" - me, having lived in Northern Germany for the most part of 40 years had never heard of this bakery. I looked it up (this is how I found out that they call themselves "Backhaus Kutzer" instead of the expected "Bäckerei") and it said they could be mostly found around KONNERSREUTH (never heard of that place either 🤷‍♀️) PLUS far into the "Oberpfalz" "und nach Oberfranken hinein". (In parts of Upper Franconia and Upper Palatinate I dare translate.)

[@kgspollux6998]

Something interesting concerning your upcoming Japan stay: You will be confronted by a different odor or olfaction, which is is in the food everywhere and even in the air you'll breathe. It's the smell of seafood, algae, seaweed, rice. After some time of eating this food, your whole body odor will change in the way that you'll get rid of your "Gaijin-smell" caused by your former nutrition - you will adapt your preferences and you will feel comfortable about it. . . .

[@Voronochka262]

That raspberry quark looked great. I want to try that if I ever get to Germany

[@OurStorytoTell]

You definitely need to!! 😋

Japan has some very nice Bakery items as well. Also not so sweet like in the US. Can't wait for you guys to try them and let us know how you like them and the difference.

[@peterschrott2674]

It's a family ridden local bakery.

[@axelk4921]

Dont worry there´s a lot off famouse German bakerys in Japan....! ;) and the most famous "German" baker in Japan is from Austria

[@OurStorytoTell]

Ahh the joy this brings us 😋😋

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Germany has such an amazing selection of cakes. But I always head for the savoury breads. The bread roll that just opens up like a croissant would be extra tasty witb butter and a slice of ham. Or fill it with Krabbensalat from the tub, which your Edeka almost certainly stocks. Delicious video! Maybe you don't have a wide choice of breads in Utah, but I'll bet New York has some fantastic bakeries. Until the pandemic we had an Estonian bakery locally, which sold amazing breads, chebureki, cabbage rolls, and cakes quite unlike Germany or England. Sadly, the pandemic forced them to close and they never reopened later. I wonder whether the Japanese eat a variety of breads, hmm.

[@rosshart9514]

Having access to a good butcher and a fine bakery increases the quality of your life 10 to 15 percent.

[@tobiastessarek784]

in case you did not know that yet kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGKxoXRjm5yfg9U eine deutsche Bäckerei in Tokio

[@Opa_Andre]

When you broke open the cheese stick, I noticed it wasn't as crispy (no sound). They taste best when they are just freshly baked and still a little warm. My favorite at my local bakery are these pretzel cheese sticks, which are also topped with fried onions. I also noticed another statement you made in your video... Especially in small, local bakeries if you go there regularly, they become aware of you and know what you like to get or offer you some similar items even before you ask for it. Because you love German bread, here some tip for you. Checkout the area you're going to live in. A few German bakers have emigrated to Japan as well... like the famous Adi Sailer in the bakery "Cafe Sailer" in Fukuoka. Or the one owning the "Bäckerei Thüringer Wald" in Tokyo. You might lookup for them just by searching for "deutscher bäcker japan" here on YT.

[@yonis739]

Are you moving to Japan full-time or just for a visit?

[@butenbremer1965]

Please do make sure to try an artisan made Potato Bread at least once before departing. There aren't too many bakeries around that carry them every day though, so you might want to pro-actively ask the staff if they have a special day of the week (like Saturdays) when they do have them. My local bakery (Frankfurt Metro Region) takes pre-orders since Potato Bread selling out so quickly!

[@OurStorytoTell]

You’re exactly right! We need to and will ask around now! Thanks for the suggestion 😋

[@f2karin]

Irgendwie hab ich gehofft Willa würde noch zwergerlschnäuzen fahren können aber die Grottenbahn in Linz hat am 1. November Saisonende und ihr habt wahrscheinlich keine Zeit zum Reisen mehr. Außerdem hattet ihr noch nie Mohnflesserl und Marillenschifferl.

[@alexamurawski4524]

I don't know if you can get it in your region, but i think you have to try "Franzbrötchen" ...yummy

[@OurStorytoTell]

Ahh yes you’re taking us back to our time in Hamburg! We tried it and loved it!! You can see our reaction in our Northern Germany KZbin video ☺️😋

[@thekidstraveltoo295]

Don’t short change Japan on bakeries. When we went we found it to be very good.

[@Cashdummy]

the cool thing is you will find german bakeries in Japan :) also, the japanese love baumkuchen and really made it heir thing. you will find exotic baumkuchens of all kind in Japan :)

[@yasminesteinbauer8565]

In fact, there are some baked goods in Japan that come from Germany. Baumkuchen, for example, is very popular. Today, it is even more popular in Japan than in Germany.😅

[@OurStorytoTell]

We are VERY happy to hear that!! 😋

Konnichiwa Kazuko Christensen. I was wondering what kind of bird is around(sound) but couldnt see one in background and than I realized it was Noa. 😀😀😀Of course Willa has her own priorities and let her play with others to have another happy day. Well all the bakeries and bread you have shown look and taste good and for sure, you will miss them till you have found an original german bakery in your new living space. If you dont find the loved items may be you can show this video to the owner of the bakery. Tanner san you will be far far away from your favourite Käsespätzle(have you ever mentioned, givien the address where it was just in case I will come along). risa, will you miss the pink icecream from Rothenburg ob der Tauber ? Anyway, go for the new challenge and you will find your favourite food,. Again sorry Noa, big hugs to all of you. All the best. Sayounara

[@martinkasper197]

So Tanner has to return to Mac'n'Cheese instead of Käsespätzle... Japanese bread rolls are more on the sweet side (≥ Brioche) unless you find an authentic German/Austrian bakery, which exist in bigger towns in Japan...

[@martinkasper197]

Those Süße Stückchen all look very appetizing...🤘👍 Mmmmhhh...

[@dreasbn]

Bienenstich should be tasty but over the last decades cheap versions appeared more and more especially in the big bakery chains… those are not worth being called Bienenstich…

[@waldfuchs5386]

Why do you want to move to Japan? Learning the language is much harder than German. Germany has a very good health and social system
