Tbh this tasted quite similar to pullman’s an pan on first bite, but with a bit more fragrant bread. Their red bean filling is great, it’s the Japanese bakery type of red bean filling (similar to what u get at other Japanese bakeries), I find that it tastes lighter compared to local bakeries, but still tasty.

Did a side by side comparison of this & pullman’s (just so happen to get both their an pans on the same day) and I think gokoku’s edges out pullman’s by a smalll margin but both are great! This is $2.40 while pullman’s is $1.30 so I guess it rly depends on whether you’re willing to pay a $0.90 premium or not + convenience.
