Just wanted to stop by this morning to make you all a little jealous- I am currently consuming one of the foods of the gods for breakfast- melon pan. I don't know what it is but I LOVE Japanese/Asian breads. They have this innate sweetness to them and despite other breads with fancy fillings (red bean, cream, etc.) melon pan always tastes so great. The bottom part is normal delicious sweet bread and the top is like a soft crunchier cake.
(The Japanese blurb says something about delicious things and secrets/tricks...weird.)
Went to Mitsuwa on Sunday and got a few cool items to review...I will be posting a full post tomorrow so stop back soon!
Also on a pastry side note...tried fresh taiyaki at Mitsuwa and while it was pretty good, I just am never 100% into read bean paste (too thick and sweet). It was a cultural experience, however, and I am better for it! For those of you who don't know what taiyaki is...it is a very popular street treat in Japan and basically consists of waffle dough cooked on fish shaped plates with red bean paste filling inside. Have any of you had melon pan/taiyaki/other Japanese breads?
