Kyoto residents are known for their fondness for new things. Incidentally, the "Salad Bread" produced by "Tsuruyapan," a bakery in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture, is a type of prepared bread that sandwiches pickled takuan mixed with mayonnaise in a koppe bread. In 1951, the founder's wife developed a bread using cabbage mixed with mayonnaise. This bread was named "Salad Bread," using the word "salad" to match the trend at the time. However, the cabbage caused the bread to become soggy, leading to a switch to takuan in 1962. Takuan is long-lasting and has a texture similar to cabbage. Furthermore, Shiga Prefecture residents are the biggest beef consumers in Japan. According to the ranking of beef consumption by prefecture, Shiga Prefecture (Otsu City) ranks first.
