His goal is to make the perfect JAPANESE bread or Ja-Pan!  Azuma has a lot of adventures even defeating strong bakers in different contests held all over the world.  With every step Azuma makes, the better baker he becomes and eventually (hopefully) will achieve his dream Ja-Pan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">*images from Koucho of photobucket<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I&#8217;ve been an avid manga reader . . .
