Although I'm late to the party, I'll answer the question. I'm American. I like melon pan. However if I'm at a Japanese bakery, I'll usually choose something more interesting (to me) like a danish-y kind of thing or cream-pan. I never thought melon-pan tasted melon-y. Just sugary.

It may be one of the "worst things" in Japan. By American standards it's practically a health food. Try comparing it to anything the Cheesecake Factory sells.

They came along after I left so they're just a name to me. I'll compare it to a Twinkie instead.

It's really not a valid comparison. They are a restaurant after all. But they regularly top the list for unhealthy food, desserts especially but most everything I think.
