Meron Pan

For those of you that like Japanese sweets (e.g. manjuu, pocky, etc.), you might like meron pan (Melon Bread). Its basically a sweet bun with various flavors including melon and maple and there are some that have anko (sweet red bean paste) inside. We went to a Japanese market in Mountain View this weekend and I picked up a couple as sometimes they are hard to find.

I'm not sure where you can order them online but if you ever stop by a Japanese market and find them try them out!

Oh and a small little Japanese trivia for you. "Meron" is a japanization of the english word "melon" and "pan" is also a borrowed word from Portuguese meaning "bread".
