"Tokyo Anpan Mame-Ichizu" is a specialty store of "Anpan" in Ecute Tokyo, inside the ticket gate of Tokyo Station. From August 8th, "Tokyo Suzu Anpan" (3 pieces, 1,200 yen including tax), which is based on the image of "Gin no Suzu", which is also a symbol of Tokyo Station, is on sale. Limited to 10 sets a day.
In a round bread like a bell, there are three types of bean paste, "Koshian", "Shiroan", and "Matchaan".
Koshian has sesame seeds on the "navel" of bread. When you bite into it, it's moist and smooth, but it's so thick that it clings to your tongue. The sweetness is low.
The bread dough is slightly sweet like brioche and is baked crisply and crisply. Very elegant Anpan taste.
Shiroan is like sugar that is crispy on the navel. When you bite into it, it has a natural taste that makes the most of the sweetness of the beans. It loosens on the tongue and the simple sweetness spreads gently.
Matcha has nothing on its navel. …But! When you cut the inside, you can see the large bean paste in addition to the matcha bean paste!
Matcha bean paste is bittersweet, and each time you chew it, the deep aroma and umami gradually melt and spread. On the other hand, Kanoko beans are very sweet and well-balanced as a whole. The texture of the chewy beans also adds a sense of fun.
Tokyo bell anpan is sold from around 13:30 at the earliest and around 16:00 at the latest every day. It's fluid, so it might be safe to ask before you go shopping. The shop is open until 22:00 on weekdays and 21:30 on Sundays and holidays, so why not stop by when you go out or return to work?
