Utane is a Japanese baking technique wherein dough is mixed into warm water, then cooled in a chill environment. Hence, the name.
Utane Bread usually stays fresh for 3 days. But the one that I bought from T&T Supermarket stated that it’s good for one whole week!
Some of the flavors were Carrot, Multigrain, Taro and Coconut. I got Taro, which was the flavor that I liked best, and apparently, the most popular one too!
It had a peculiar smell though. But I couldn’t quite nail it down. And it wasn’t just the taro smell. There was something else.
I checked the bag itself, but it wasn’t that either. I had also wanted to check the ingredients; however, there was none written.
Yet despite the odd smell, the bread wasn’t bad. Pretty good, in fact. The texture was really soft, moist, and sponge-like. And it had a bit of a sweet taro taste too!
