Anpan

Anpan (あんパン) is a Japanese sweet bread filled with red bean paste. Anpan can also be prepared with other fillings, including white beans, green beans, sesame and chestnut[disambiguation needed].

Anpan is thought to be an Japanese original bread. It is a mixture of bread and "あん" a Japanese traditional sweet made from beans. Anpan appeared for the first time at a bakery in Ginza, Tokyo in 1874.[1] The emperor also tried it in 1875. This news about the emperor spread quickly throughout Japan, and it became popular among Japanese people.[2]
