Kimura Yasubei 木村安兵衛 began baking bread around 1871 and even baked for Emperor Meiji. Kimuraya 木村屋.
But bread was more a kind of confection, o-kashi and not a staple dish replacing rice at that time.

When the first bread was baked in the home of Egawa family 太郎左衛門 near Nirayama, Izu 韮山, in 1840.
It was very hard and durable, as food provisions for the soldiers, and called
hyooroo pan 兵糧パン.
It was baked in oil in a huge iron pan in the main kitchen of the large Egawa estate. The Egawa family is now in the 42th generation.
The Chinese Opium War has just started and Japan was afraid foreighn soliers might come to Japan too. So the nation prepared for war.
The Egawa family also build small cannons to defend their harbour in Izu.

quote

The initial, and tremendous, popularity of bread among the Japanese is attributed to Kimura Yasubei, an enterprising gentleman who opened a bakery, Kimura-ya, in Tokyo in 1871, early in the reign of Emperor Meiji. At first his bread was modeled on Dutch loaves since his chief baker had worked as a chef in a Dutch household in Nagasaki.

But Kimura's son, Eisaburo, was unhappy with the original recipe and looked for something that would appeal more to Japanese tastes. The actual inspiration to use sake kasu in lieu of conventional yeast is credited to a young baker, Kodo Katsuzo, who is said to have dumped his early, inedible experiments in Tokyo Bay after trying, unsuccessfully, to peddle them to foreigners in Yokohama.

A hundred years ago it was unthinkable that bread might replace rice as a mealtime staple. The idea of bread as a confection, what the Japanese call kashi, made more sense to the local populace. Eventually, the recipe that found favor combined sake kasu for rising the dough with an (sweet bean "fudge" as a filling. Cherry blossoms, having been chosen as the symbol of the "nation" of Japan, and being a personal favorite of the newly re-instated Emperor, found their way into numerous dishes. The now-familiar salted cherry blossom "belly-button" garnish on an pan was first added to Kimura's bun in 1875, in honor of the Emperor Meiji.

Indeed, the enormous popularity of an pan was probably due in large measure to early royal patronage. According to Kimura-ya 20,000 people a day lined up at the Ginza shop and bought an average of 5 buns apiece. That makes a mind-boggling 100,000 an pan each day! Current sales figures for the flagship operation in Ginza show 18,000 an pan are typically sold on a busy Saturday. When you consider the relative difference in size of the population of Tokyo, then and now, the sales figures are even more remarkable.

In many ways, the appearance of bread in the daily diet parallels other sweeping social and political changes associated with Meiji Era Japan. The Imperial Army and Navy incorporated bread into their troops' daily rations after an interesting "medical experiment" was conducted. Beriberi was a serious problem among Japanese troops.

At the time, it was thought that European soldiers suffered less from this ailment. In order to verify this claim, half the military patients at a municipal clinic in Kanda were treated with Western-style therapy and diet; the other half, in a traditional Asian manner. Patients treated with a Western-style diet that included bread and milk fared better.

At the time, bread-eating was credited with medicinal powers, though modern science tells us it is more likely that the vitamin-B rich milk was responsible for the positive results. In both the Sino-Japanese War (1894) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904) Japanese troops brought bread to the front lines, and fought successfully. This only reinforced the impression of bread-eating as being "healthy" and, more importantly, as a source of political and social empowerment.
