Typical Japanese Bread is a soft white bread used to make many kinds of Kashi Pan (sweet bread) such as An Pan and Melon Pan.   Japanese people love the softness in bread so much that it’s almost fanatical.  There are more rustic crusty breads around and they like those kinds too, however, they always go back to sweet soft bread that people are familiar with.  Japanese Basic Bread has a hint of sweetness but not overly, so you can make it into either sweet or savory bread.  Once you master this versatile bread, you will be able to enjoy all sorts of arrangements of Japanese bread.
