This popular Japanese bread is ideal for a light snack or a tasty dessert. It’s called “Melon” because of its shape, and not so much its flavor- which is a little closer to sweet lemon, than melon. “Daiichi Pan” loosely translates to ‘Number One Bread.’ And oddly enough, this is our best selling bread. So give it a try and see if it's earned its name.

I also got the idea to try melon bread from the anime, Shakugan no Shana. THe bread was okay, even a little dry. Definitely tasted of lemon, not melon. Not bad, but not great. I was glad I tried it, but won't buy it again.

Well I ordered two of these treats. One to eat cold and one to eat warm. Just to see if the taste would differ. Both were very good, still not the complexity I was looking for. It's a simple snack. The outer being a bit gooey in texture with a lemony taste while the inner, was well bread.

The texture is a big soggy, but that is because it is frozen. It wasn't really my taste (I have a hard time eating sweets) but my family and roommates loved it! If you like a sweet taste mixed with the natural taste of bread, you'll love Melon Pan.

I bought this melon bread a while back. Ever since going to Japan and eating the Melon bread there, I wanted to try the one here. The bread was a bit soggy, and not sugary like the actual melon bread you can buy in Japan. It tasted okay, but I don't think I'll buy it again because I'd rather go to Japan and eat the real stuff there. I hope in the future, there will be melon pan that is the same from Japan.

The melon bread I recieved in the mail was a bit soggy...the texture was doughy... kinda like I was bitting into unbaked bread dough. It left an unpleasent taste in my mouth. I will order more and hopefully this time it doesn't turn out the same. I will write another review after my shipment comes in.
