Anpan的意思

"Anpan" is a Japanese word that refers to a type of sweet bun, which is a popular snack or breakfast item in Japan. The name "anpan" literally means "bean-jam bread" in Japanese ("an" means "bean jam" and "pan" is derived from the Portuguese word "pão", meaning bread).

The anpan bun is characterized by its soft, fluffy texture and a filling made from sweetened red bean paste, which is a common ingredient in many Japanese sweets. The paste is typically made from boiled adzuki beans that have been mashed and mixed with sugar. Sometimes, other flavors of filling may be used as well.

Anpan has been a staple of Japanese cuisine since the late 19th century, when it was introduced by a baker named Tamijiro Yasuda, who learned how to make sweet bread from a Portuguese priest. Since then, it has become a beloved part of Japanese food culture and can be found in bakeries and convenience stores throughout the country.
