K's Pan

Pan as in Japanese for bread NOT a frying pan. Incredible Japanese bready, carby treats so good you'll think you're in the motherland. Fresh baked, individually packaged and sold from a small stall at a farmers market.A mochi and azuki an pan, approaches the quality of Kimuraya in Ginza, the inventor of the anpan and a must visit if going to Tokyo. A soft but toothsome Japanese roll is filled with a piece of neutral tasting mochi and not too sweet, silky smooth red bean paste.Equally good their azuki filled butter roll. The soft, buttery bread and light sprinkling of sea salt makes the gently sweetened azuki paste sing.Savory items impress with the kare pan (curry pan) being the best example I've tried outside Japan. The bread, gently sweet and toothsome with the perfect crisp fry in very clean oil. The curry filling bursting with flavor. Offered mild or spicy. Either way, you'll wish you bought more than one.Finally, they don't shy away from heat. A jalapeño, cheese sausage roll brought the kick, filled with finely diced jalapeño running through the roll. Great combo of flavors.Inexpensive. Most sweet items $3, savory items $4.Very friendly service. Pearlridge farmers market on Saturday. Windward farmers market on Wednesday.Three weeks in a row. Destination worthy.

These Japanese Pastries are some ono. The extremely spicy curry pan was lovely, a cold beer back up would've been perfect.Go check them out at Windward Mall every Wednesdays 2p - 6pK's Pan: [email protected]
