I’m a home-baker in Charlottesville. People can’t help fall in love with our Asian style breads, so drop by our booth and try some sample!
We have:
Anpan
Melon-pan
Roll-pan
Shoku-pan
Anpan is our first product we had. It’s a yeast bread with sweet red bean paste filling. Sweet bean paste is popular in east Asia as a desert ingredients. Some American people say it looks like chocolate and tastes like apple butter. Talking little bit about history, it’s first created by retired Samurai 130 years ago.
Melon-pan is new in our lines. It’s a yeast bread covered by crispy sweet shell. It’s very popular for Japanese kids. Its name “melon” comes from its appearance; hard cracked skin looks like cantaloupe.
Roll-pan is a plain yeast roll without any filling, so you can consider as a dinner roll. Cut it into half, sandwich with ham, boiled egg and lettuce, with little mayo… makes a great lunch.
Shoku-pan is a loaf of sandwich bread. I use square molds imported from Japan. You can slice it into any thickness. My favorite is a 1/2-3/4 inch thick and toast until both side gets to gold brown. Crispy outside and soft inside makes a great breakfast. You can also slice it thinner to make sandwich.
