What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1936. Kure residents say 'When it comes to melon bread, it's this place.' The distinctive rugby ball shape was inspired by muskmelon (a type of melon), which was expensive at the time. The 3rd generation continues the same method. Approaching its 90th anniversary in 2026.

Reviews mention 'Families that have been visiting for 3-4 generations', 'Worth coming from other prefectures', 'Retro exterior is popular on social media.' Yahoo Maps 4.1 (108 reviews), Tripadvisor 3.9/5 (45 reviews). Official website (kuremelon.com) active.
