Melon Bread

Cherry blossom ice cream in melon bread - 800 JPY

Verdict: Walk

A staple Japanese dessert to try when you’re in Osaka, but available at multiple locations across the city (even at the local 7-11). You get sensations of crunchy, soft, cold, and warm all in one bite.

Type: Bakery

Location: Dotonbori, Osaka, Japan

Address: Shibata.Bld, 1 Chome-5-8 Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0071, Japan

Entrance to food stall

Must Try Items: Melon pan with sakura ice cream (¥800)

Cost: regular melon pan was ¥400. Add a few hundred yen when you add various ice cream flavours (vanilla was +¥100, whereas sakura was +¥400)

Cutting open the bread and placing slab of ice cream

Comments:

  • Iconic food stall for a must-eat Osaka snack.

  • Warm bun with a crunchy top and soft insides, contrasted with the cold ice cream sandwiched within. A delicious combination.

  • It took longer to order the melon pan than to devour it…

  • Ice cream flavours including vanilla, green tea, strawberry and cherry blossom. We had to choose cherry blossom, a rarer flavour to find outside of Japan.
