This chocolate and cream cake adorned with cherry tomatoes grabbed my attention. The tomatoes are almost as big as the piece of cake!! What a mix of flavors!! It reminded me of the strawberry sandwiches.

Melonpan pan is one of my favorite Japanese sweets. Melopan are sweet bread with the shape of half melon, the texture inside is like bread and on the surface it is crispy.
Originally melopan did not have melon flavor, the name came just from the shape and the wrinkled surface that reminds that of a melon. But the concept evolved and now many melonpan have melon flavor. It sounds like a bad combination, but for me the more it tastes like melon the more I like it! If you come for travel to Japan try it, you can find it almost in any convenience store or bakery. It can also be found in some places in China or Corea. As an alternative, you could also give it a try and bake melonpan at home, here there is the recipe.
This was just delicious, it tasted A LOT like a melon!
With chocolate.

Oden restaurant
Moving Oden restaurants on the streets are pretty common in Japan. I found this one pretty funny, all of them with black suits and a suitcases.
