MUNICH, Germany -- In the southern German city of Munich, home to high-tech companies such as BMW and Siemens, a Japanese couple from Nagoya have become unlikely local heroes for devoting their lives to reviving the dying art of baking traditional German bread.
Near Munich's Ostbahnhof rail station, Hinako and Michitoshi Obori sell a range of wholegrain sourdough breads and cakes popular with residents, who arrive throughout the day on foot and by bicycle.
