It's almost impossible to find such breads in supermarkets or convenience stores. The local convenience store at the ski resort I work at does sell wholemeal bread twice a week but it's really only found here because of the large foreign population. Couldn't find it in other towns in the area.
People selling wholemeal bread in Hokkaido and I don't understand a word of 津軽弁.
