How do people survive without bread? This may be hard to believe, but it is actually possible. The trick is eating something else. :)
(They did have steamed grain products, just not baked ones.)
Don't know about balconies.

- hsjqllzlfkf 3y agoI didn't ask how people survive without bread. I asked whether the Japanese had bread before the Portuguese got there.
- resolutebat 3y agoSteamed/baked wheat buns of various kinds have been eaten in China for a long time and are known in Japan as well under the name manju (饅頭). Wiki says they were first introduced in 1341, but they're still associated with Chinese food and typically served as sweet snacks with tea, not as a meal. Savoury meat buns (肉まん nikuman) do exist, but they're nowhere near as common as bao in China. There are also many cracker-like hard "breads" made from rice flour, notably sensei, but these too are snacks, not mains.
