I know I have mentioned this food or snack before.. but it's worth to do it again.
IF you go to TOKYO, Japan, there is something you should taste!
Have you heard of
Melon pan? or Melon bread.
First when I heard it I thought it was made of melon, but no that's not the case.
The name comes from the shape (^^;;)
You can get it from most convenience stores such as Family mart, 7eleven etc. or bakeries. However there is a place in Tokyo where they sell a various varity of the bread.
And the taste is
MUCH MUCH MUCH better than normal ones.
The shop is called:
メロンパンファクトリー Melon pan factory.
(no surprise there)
The shops are located in following areas in Tokyo:

I have only been to one of the stores, the 大岡山店.
However I guess the taste is the same since it's a brand.
I love their
マッチャ (Maccha),
イチゴ (Ichigo),
チョコ (Choco),
But my absolute fave one is their
ブルーベリー (Blueberry) however I have only had it once, it's rare to find.
For me each time I go to Japan, this is the food I look forward to eat the most, besides from sushi (^0^)
