Japan's Bagel & Bagel Chain Makes Tasty Watermelon Flavor Bagels

— September 1, 2014 — Lifestyle
Most of the time, when you think about a juicy watermelon flavor, what typically comes to mind is either the actual watermelon fruit or a beverage that tastes just like it. Instead of this, the Japanese bakery chain Bagel & Bagel is offering a new way for people to get a taste of this delicious summery fruit, in the form of a bagel.

The seasonal Suika Bagel has a bright pink color, and it's made by mixing watermelon juice into the batter. Although there's not any of the green watermelon rind in sight, just like the inside of a watermelon, the bagel is loaded with black specks that look like seeds—fortunately you won't need to spit any of these out, since they're only tasty chocolate chips.
