The Exciting Arrival of Taiwanese Melon Buns in Japan

Foocle Co., Ltd., the company behind the beloved Taiwanese castella brand, is thrilled to announce the launch of the famous "Taiwanese Melon Bun" from Yong Guang Bakery. Set to hit the shelves on May 16, 2026, this delightful treat will be available exclusively at the Meito Kichijoji store in Tokyo.

Yong Guang Bakery has earned a stellar reputation in Yunlin, Taiwan, where it attracts long queues of eager customers daily. Now, this fan-favorite melon bun has finally made its way to Japan, promising to redefine local perceptions of traditional melon bread.

A Whole New Experience

Three distinctive qualities set the Taiwanese melon bun apart from Japan's usual offerings: an overwhelming amount of cream, impressive size, and an incredible texture. Each bite promises a brand new experience.

Burst of Creamy Goodness

One of the most surprising features of the Taiwanese melon bun is the sheer abundance of cream that oozes out upon breaking the bread. This extravagant filling is a remarkable contrast to the cream amounts typically found in Japanese melon buns. For those who imagine a bun with gooey cream spilling out, this will be a must-try.

An Impressive Size

Next, prepare to be amazed by the sheer size of this bun. It is so large that it spills over the edges of an adult's palm—an emblem of the vibrant service culture and bustling energy found in Taiwan. This vast bun is set to be a standout in the Japanese pastry scene.

Texture That Delights

The texture is yet another highlight. The top layer has a crispy cookie crust that offers a delightful crunch, while the fluffy bread underneath provides a heavenly softness. When combined with the rich, overflowing cream, each mouthful presents a different sensation, delivering bliss to the taste buds.

Bold and Luxurious Eating Style

Unlike conventional Japanese dining etiquette, where elegance prevails, Foocle encourages customers to indulge freely in their melon bun experience. The recommended method is to tear the fluffy bun apart and lavishly dip the pieces in the cream before taking a big bite. This freedom and indulgence are what has kept this treat beloved in Taiwan.

In a culture where meticulousness often reigns, this simple joy of tearing, dipping, and reveling in the flavor is a refreshing change. It offers a unique and luxurious experience that is entirely different from traditional Japanese bread culture.
