Point 2: Introduction of popular bread recommendations for “Marco Polo Maehara Ten!
Marco Polo Maehara Ten offers a wide variety of breads.
The breads can be divided into three main categories: prepared breads, sweet breads, and others.
The salt bread, deli bread, and Sata Andagi are among the best! Muffins and garlic rusks are also popular.
The salted bread is simple, but the dough is sticky and the slight saltiness is irresistible. The best way to enjoy it is to eat it as it is without dipping it in anything.
There is also a wide variety of prepared breads, including burgers, muffins, and rusks that are not sweet.
Each one is so delicious that it is hard to choose just one.
But it is so typical of Okinawa that they sell sataa Andagi at a bakery! The price for a large one is 108 yen and a small one is 63 yen.
