Sun Etoile

The appeal of melon pan lies in the contrast between its crisp outer layer and soft, moist centre. One customer enjoyed that texture so much they said they would stop by again when in the area. Another review mentioned that the bread was so soft it lost its shape. If you choose the melon pan, expect a pleasing contrast between the bite of the surface and the tenderness inside.

For something savoury, some customers pick the curry bread as their top recommendation, while others have enjoyed a hot dog in the shop. One diner chose a koppe-pan filled with Napolitan spaghetti, too—a light-meal option for when you want something different from a sweet bun.

Breakfast is available, and one customer described the toast as nicely fragrant. Stop for bread and coffee in the morning, or, as some visitors have done, make use of the seating before or after meeting someone at the station.

Sun Etoile is inside JR Abikocho Station, and takeaway is available. Whether you are picking up breakfast or stopping in for melon pan or curry bread, it is easy to fit a visit around a station trip.
