English steamed pudding is just steamed but gets brown on the outside too. You don’t need direct heat. The pudding is steamed INSIDE a metal or ceramic bowl, and it’s the bit that touches the bowl, which does get to 212°F (100°C), that goes brown. The bowl sits in boiling water.

[...] Mochi Mochi Mushi Pan, a steamed bread with a mochi-like texture is my current favorite Japanese convenience store junk food. (Not that I eat much from convenience stores, but I do enjoy observing their product development and marketing campaigns.) I was very happy to find a new variety of mushi pan that I like very much. Like Otokomae Tofu sweet cream bread, this one is a ‘korabo‘ between Otokomae Tofu and industrial bread maker Pasco. [...]

Holy…I thought I’d never see Mochi Mochi again.

I used to buy it religiously this past Ramadan when I was in Tokyo (August/September) for a few weeks, from the local Seiyu in Fujimino, Saitama.

Then one day, they simply stopped appearing on the shelves. I checked every other day for the next three weeks to no avail.

At 28 I’ve lost my taste for junk food but this – this was something else. Man I miss it.

OMG, I didn’t think I will see this bread on this site! Im from Japan, that bread is absolutely one of my favorites! We have all kinds of bread. Mochi (rice cake) seems like going along with anything. We also have mochi chocolate (mochi inside) and its delicious as well!

Hi Kathy, You know, I have never found a cheese flavored mushi pan in a conbini that blew me away.

Hi there pigpigscorner, Pancakey indeed. I stopped by your blog, nice! I love this recipe: http://www.pigpigscorner.com/2009/01/sweet-and-sour-pork-ribs.html

Hello Orchid64, Everyone checkout Orchid64′s site, Japanese Snack Review. Great info!

Mochi Mochi Mushi Pan weighs in at 353 kcal. Ah, a bit more than I would have expected. I guess I will have to cut down!

These things are always great, but soooo fattening. Many of the cakes in Japanese shops have hefty calories. Do you know the calorie count on this?

I’m a professed melon bread-aholic, but I have to say that mushi pan is really, really good too. At the moment I’ve got a craving for the cheese flavoured one that is sold at conbini -yum!

Hello yen lee, Thank you very much for enjoying my site! I aim to please! Unfortunately, I don't know any sites like KyotoFoodie for Tokyo. How about going over to our Support Forum at OpenKyoto and asking the question. I bet you will get your answer before this winter. Hello Marc @ NoRecipes, Yes, you look! You look! (Imitating Miwa again.) Try at the 99 Shop. I think that I am addicted. Hi diva, I checked out your piks of Spain. Looks like lots of fun! When are you coming to Kyoto again? Yes, the seed for this one is definitely Chinese steamed bread, or at least, that is what I definitely think. But then it has the texture, feel, taste and aroma of the finest Japanese junk food, developed and perfected in a laboratory. Oh yes! Hello macha, You try! You try! Mochi, confection shops, hmmm... Oh, how about going over to our Support Forum at OpenKyoto and asking the question. I bet you will get your answer before November.
