I wonder if the Melon Pan was invented in Japan...

When I tried melon pan I found it so tasty that I only wanted to have it for breakfast every morning during my stay in Japan. I loved and love it.

When I returned to Spain I looked for Melon Pan but didn't find it even in the capital. I didn't find it in England either.

Hence, in my second trip to Japan I was eager to taste the melon pan again.

I made friends with the self-service shop's keeper because of so many visits to buy melon pan

My Japanese friends told me that I was getting popularity because of my melon pan's loving.

Does anybody know is the melon pan is a Japanese invention?

Could I find it abroad?

Or much better,

Does anybody know how to make it?
 
So, apparently It cannot be found abroad. What a pity.

Thank you for the links. I didn't hit upon looking in the WIKI.
 
If you're interested in baking, you can try it yourself...?

I L-O-V-E melon-pan, too!! That fluffy bread with a sweet, crisp cookie crust!!
Although the melon pan crust is artificial these days, a homemade one gets cracks on the crust as the bread bakes. Those cracks make the melon-pan what it is and so~~ good!!

A bakery in our neighborhood used to offer melon-pan with strawberry and tea flavors, which were great! Too bad they stopped baking them.
But, I don't like melon-pan that has "melon" flavor! YUCK!!
I don't think "melon" goes with bread!
 
Thank you very much to everybody!

I will do my best to make one. :gohan:

I hope it turns out well!

All right!
I made a melon pan!
But, do you know what? It turned out a little burned from the oven.
Too long in the oven.
I tried it anyway and it wasn't bad at all.
My nephew told me that it was sweet and tasty.
It's the first time I eat a melon pan out of Japan.
I will try to make one "less burned".
How about you? Have you made a melon pan at home?
Arround Christmas days we (my family) make special "roscos" (ring-shaped bread rolls). It's sweet and very tasty. It's an old traditional familiar receipt.
 
Melon Pan:
Only the greatest thing to come out of Japan. *DROOL*
 
Thank you, Numark,

you're very kind.
 
I've never tried this before, but I remember it appeared in Ja! pan, a manga series about Japanese breads.
 
I tried melon pan after reading this thread and found it too sweet. If I want a Japanese desert, I'll stick to an azuki based dessert like zenzai, anmitsu, or tai yaki.

Melon pan reminded me of eating a very thick slice of bread with butter and sugar on it. It think you can easily make it yourself.

Lucky me... I know a really, really good Japanese bakery in Toronto. Nakamura Bakery in J-Town which is on Steeles, north side just east of Woodbine; if you live in Toronto you'll know where that is. Google "J-Town"...

I buy anpan, melonpan amongst other things all the time.

(I'm not bragging. Really. I'm just reveling in my good fortune!)

My apologies for being so late to notice this post.
That means "granulated sugar to sprinkle on top of the cookie crust" 2 tablespoons

Soften butter to room temperature and whip it thoroughly with a whisk (or electric mixer, IMHO).

Whip thoroughly until creamy.

Add sugar in 2 or 3 batches, mixing until butter turns white. (This is important.)

Until it's as white as this (cf. photo). (Good crust quality depends on how well you whisk the butter and sugar here.)

Add well-sifted flower and baking powder. Mix in broad strokes with rubber spatula.

Stop mixing when you still see some flour left unmixed in the dough. Cover with plastic wrap.

 
窶冂ﾅｽq are best!

I have to agree with "Dogen Z". Melon Pan is a little to sweet for me too. It seems like there are so many kinds of sweet bread in Japan. Personaly, I think ﾂ"ﾆ谷ﾆ椎陳ーﾆ恥ﾆ停?慊" is great! Is this also a Japanese invention? Anyway, when it comes to sweets, I prefer traditional Japanese sweets. Like 窶堋ｫ窶堙鯛?冂ﾅｽqand such, which is sold at a old confectionary store in my neighborhood. It isn't that sweet!!

I HAVE found it in the US at an anime convention sold by someone who imported the packed snack form, but I doubt it's anywhere as good as fresh from a bakery. It was still quite nice and tasty though! I would really love to try the real thing.
