    I'm no Japanese cuisine expert by any means, but I think 'Japanese baking' is a contradiction in terms. Instead they rely on confectioners/candy, those little steamed moon/rice buns, and sweet bean pastes. Any 'baking' in Japan is just western baking.

    Check online for 'wagashi' recipes, it's what they call it if I remember.

    Japanese baking actually has a very distinctive style...
    Wagashi is pretty much the only sweets the Japanese eat (very yummy though!)

    Here's a site that has quite a few traditional Japanese dishes on it:
    Tokyo Food Page - Japanese Cuisines

    And this one if for a tradition Japanese Green Tea Cake which I thought sounded interesting :)

    And finally, a Japanese bread made with rice flour:
    watashi to tokyo: Amashoku is a Japanese bread.
