I thought it might be a little cool this summer, but for a while, the sweltering heat returned as soon as the rain stopped. Come to think of it, early August is the hottest time of the year.
If hot days continue, you will want cold food. But I got tired of shaved ice and ice cream ... How about a strange melon bread "Chilled Melon" that you eat chilled?

Cool it "in the freezer"!

"Chilled melon" is a product that has been sold at Bakery Donq for three years. A summer-only melon bread that you can eat "chilled in the freezer". It was released only in the Kyushu area in 2010 and became popular, and it seems that it will be sold nationwide.

This year's products are "Milk," which contains cream produced in Hokkaido and has a rich and gentle taste, "Coffee," which shines with the bitterness of Kilimanjaro and Colombia, and "Matcha," which has a gentle sweetness with a lively matcha flavor. seed.

The texture is "chilled in the freezer", but the bread part is crispy and moist and has a mysterious texture. The cookie part peculiar to melon bread is crispy, but it melts in the mouth well, and you can enjoy a light taste even when it is hard to eat and it is hot.

The cream inside has an ice-like texture. However, unlike ordinary ice cream, it has a unique taste that melts and spreads sweetness when you put it in your mouth. Of course, it goes well with bread dough.

Also, when this cream melts, it has a fluffy and smooth texture like whipped cream, so it does not drip (?) Like ice cream. It is also recommended to take it out of the freezer and leave it for a while, or dare to melt it and eat it.

I want to bring some summer souvenirs, but the ice cream melts. Cakes, etc. are not delicious if they become slimy even with an ice pack. In such a case, this "chilled melon", which is delicious whether frozen or melted, may play an active role. But it's a little too big to make a tea ceremony ... (laughs).

This summer's sale is until August 31st. The price is 210 yen per piece. Donk stores that sell products have a freezer just for this product, so please look for "freezer" as a landmark!
