Melon Pan (Sweet Crust Bun)
Like a bun wearing its sweet, crunchy crust on the outside, you add fun to special days in a way everyone can see.
Melon pan is a bun topped with a layer of sweet cookie dough and baked. It's said to have been born in Japan, and one theory is that it got its name because the crisscross pattern on top looks like the netting on a muskmelon; it usually doesn't taste of melon. In some regions, a similar bun is called a “sunrise.”
You're able to say “That's not right for me” early on when something doesn't suit you. You don't hide happy news or plans you're looking forward to; you tell the people around you. And rather than everyday life, it's the big days that you build up your excitement for.
Melon pan is baked with two layers: soft bread dough and a crunchy cookie crust. In you, too, both sides are on show: the one that speaks plainly and the one that shares the fun. But the more effort you put into preparing for a special day, the more your everyday tasks tend to get pushed back.
