Celebrate the Autumn Moon with Penguin Bakery!
As autumn approaches, the beauty of the full moon graces our skies, bringing with it the cherished Japanese tradition known as O-tsukimi, or moon viewing. In recognition of this festive season, Penguin Bakery, a beloved bakery chain originating from Sapporo, Hokkaido, has unveiled their exciting seasonal offerings: the delightful ‘Penguin Moon Viewing Bread’!
What Can You Expect?
From September 1 to 25, 2026, visitors to any participating Penguin Bakery location can indulge in two special treats crafted to enhance the joy of moon viewing. First up is the
Moon Viewing Burger, a hearty delight featuring a juicy 120g hamburger patty, slathered in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce, and topped with a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg. The runny yolk mimics the luminous full moon, making this burger not only satisfying but also visually appealing.
Next, we have the
Black Bean Kinako Steamed Bread, a soft and chewy fried bread enveloping a creamy filling made with Hokkaido-grown black beans and sweet red bean paste, finished with a sprinkle of kinako sugar. Inspired by traditional moon-viewing dumplings, this treat beautifully combines Japanese flavors for a gentle sweetness reminiscence of the autumn festival.
Where to Find These Delicacies
The ‘Moon Viewing Bread’ will be available at all Penguin Bakery locations (some exclusions apply). With only a limited supply, eager fans are encouraged to visit early to enjoy these delectable offerings.
