Everyday with evolving sweets

Takano: I heard that you eat sweets every day.

Sakai: I often eat sweets, partly because of my job and partly because I personally like them. Yesterday, I had a private Stollen eating contest and collected 25.

Celeina: Even if you only collect one slice, that’s still 25 slices, right?

Takano: That sounds like a bit of a full meal.

Sakai: I couldn’t eat dinner anymore (haha).

Takano: But you are happy!

Celeina: Are you addicted to Stollen these days?

Sakai: Yes, I am. I think they are very popular this year. It was not that familiar in Japan, but recently bakeries, pastry shops, and restaurants are starting to serve it.

There are stollen with a beautiful cross-section, or strawberry on the top and chocolate on the bottom, like the Apollo of sweets, and it is evolving rapidly. That was interesting, and it was a lot of fun to compare them with everyone.
