It has a selection of breads inspired by Japanese and Filipino flavors, ranging from melon pan and croissants filled with red bean and butter to pandesal and ube ensaymada.Prices are pretty reasonable, with offerings starting at P10 for a plain pandesal to P195 for a whole loaf of shoku pan or milk bread. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/174557480536320250424_164256.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=" Japanese and Filipino breads and pastries are available in the first Muji bakery in the Philippines.
