Seaweed rolls

Do you know about Japanese style bread?
French, German, Italian, American...these are famous style of bread. Everyone knows that.
We, Japanese, eat rice with meal traditionally, but eat lots of bread for breakfast, lunch and for tea.
We create own Japanese style bread and pastry.

Today, I made seaweed rolls. It is real Japanese taste. Because it is created by me... I am Japanese.

It contain 80% of white flour and 20% of rice flour. Rice flour make bread resilience texture. And we like to eat seaweed with rice.
I added soy sauce and butter, sesame seeds for flavor. I recommend soy sauce and butter combination. It is so savory taste and aroma. I didn't add salt, because say sauce contains salt.
Ops, yes, of cause I added seaweed. It makes it dark green color.
