A sweet crispy [[bread]], so called because its appearance resembles a [[melon]]. It traditionally does not have melon flavoring, although some manufacturers may add melon flavoring when desired. There are also many variations depending on the additional ingredients. Not limited to Japan, it is also found in Latin America as a variant of pan dulce. 

Trademark food of [[Shana]]; if shown with a character who shares her [[Kugimiya Rie|voice actress]], it becomes an instant [[voice actor connection]].
