But at home though. We use oven rarely if at all. My mom used to teach western culinary art so she uses it a lot, but majority of people don't really use it so I thought there may be a business opportunity there. Even my mom doesn't bake pies. The price of pizza, another dish that is cooked by an oven, in Japan is outrageous right?

Is it easy to find regular bread in Japan (i.e. not sweet bread). Throughout Asia (Korea, China, Philippines) I've found pretty much every bread I bought is sweet. The only time I had unsweetened bread was at a very high-class hotel where the owner was European and catered specifically to European diets (hearty soups, thick gravies and unsweetened bread!)
If any country in Asia is the exception, I'd imagine it would be Japan
If I was there for any extended period of time without regular bread I think I'd begin to miss it despite my love for exotic and new foods.
