Syaron Fushimiya was the first store to create and sell “Misopan.” The business is the oldest bakery in Numata. Originally, the site sold manju buns, but later turned into a bakery. During the fourth decade of Showa, the store came up with “Original Misopan,” taking a hint from “Oyaki,” a regional cuisine.

Red miso and brown sugar whips up the miso filling with well-balanced, salty-sweet taste. Since the filling is cooked making use of the bread’s natural sweetness, the overall taste is well-balanced, creating a catchy savor.
