Foocle Inc., operator of the Taiwanese castella shop "Meito", will exclusively launch the "Taiwan Melon Pan" from "Yung Kuang Bakery"—a highly popular bakery in Yunlin, Taiwan—at its Kichijoji store starting Saturday, May 16, 2026. Making its first-ever appearance in Japan, this oversized melon pan breaks Japanese conventions with its massive volume, overflowing rich cream, and a unique crunchy-yet-fluffy texture. Available in milk and chocolate cream flavors for 1,620 yen (tax included), it introduces a bold, luxurious eating style where customers tear the fluffy bread and dip it generously into the spilling cream.
