I attended a bread-making class. The recipe of this month was whole-grain bread with poppy-seeds and melon-pan!
What’s melon-pan? Melon-pan, literally means melon bread is a sweet bun made from soft and fluffy bread covered with thin cookie layer, one of nationally popular bread. The name comes from its dorm-shaped looks and muskmelon-like surface, not the flavor. With its popularity, there are bakeries and street vendors specialized in melon-pan. In addition, some bakeries sell premium melon-pan flavored with melon and with melon flavored cream.
If you are looking for snacks during exploring Tokyo, why don’t you try melon-pan?
