Circle K Sunkus has released a product called "Our Melonpan Skin. ", Which is made by baking melon bread skin (biscuit dough). It seems that it was born (?) In response to the topic "I have burned the skin of melon bread.", Which was released in October 2014.

The same is true for the product name with ".", And the fact that "our" is added in the balloon shows a slightly provocative attitude toward the skin of the starting melon bread. However, both are actually manufactured by Yamazaki Baking. So to speak, the two are brothers .

That's why I decided to compare the "I've baked the melon bread skin. 2" on sale and the "Our melon bread skin." In this article, for convenience, the former will be referred to as the "elder brother" (because it is a starting lineup ...) and the latter will be referred to as the "younger brother".

● The size is almost the same, but the "thickness" is different.

Both are about 9 cm in diameter. However, when compared from a horizontal perspective, my brother is a little thicker. My younger brother is pretty flat. It's like a simple handmade cookie that your mom will bake.

The calories are 259 kcal for the older brother and 241 kcal for the younger brother, which is slightly higher for the older brother. By the way, the price was 75 yen (tax included) for my brother and 90 yen (same) for my younger brother. Although the price between brothers is not good.

● The pattern on the top and the size of the grain are different.

The biggest difference in appearance is the pattern on the top and the size of the grain. While my brother has become the familiar "AmiAmi" in melon bread, my younger brother has no pattern. Also, the grain of grain that is topped seems to be larger for my younger brother.

● The taste and texture are completely different!

In conclusion, they had completely different tastes and textures !

My brother's surface is crispy and hard, but the inside is moist and has a slightly bread-like texture. On the other hand, my younger brother is Zack Zaku from the beginning to the end like a cookie. The large grain also produces a crunchy texture.

As for the taste, my brother has a slight buttery flavor and a sweet melon aroma. On the other hand, my younger brother has a slightly strong margarine scent, and the sweetness and subtle saltiness come at the same time.

● My personal favorite is "Our melon bread skin."

The "Melonpan Skin" brothers' confrontation was held without permission, and it was my brother Circle K Sunkus's "Our Melonpan Skin" that I personally wanted to raise my rank. The reason is that it was more like a cookie due to its taste and texture, and I thought my younger brother would win if they were to anthropomorphize each and literally "fight". Because the defense power was so strong (hard) and the attack power (roughness) was also great.

However, although the types are different, both were certainly delicious "melon bread skins".
