My name is Eiman and am from Egypt. All my passion goes to making the Japanese soft and fluffy buns, like Cream bun, melon bun, chocolate cornet....
I went to Japan and had bread making course. Now I returned to Egypt and am going to open a Japanese bakery shop. I want to let Egyptian remove the stereotype idea about Japan that Japan means sushi and Kimono.....
I want them to know the culture of Japan and old one and the new one also.
I need your help in finding a name to describe my new bakery shop in Egypt. any help any suggestion please :)

How about "Melon-Pan"? It will also catch the eyes of Japanese tourists and clearly show what kind of "Japanese" bakery you're aiming for!

Thank you so much for your reply !! I really appreciate your help and support ...and am so excited to start this business :D
I was thinking about two options and I would like to know ur opinion.. 1st : Mochi Mochi "explaining how soft is the bread" do you think it nice and cool name or strange ?
2nd: Sakura bakery "but am afraid sakura doesn't have a relation with bread"

"Mochi mochi" is "soft" but also "good to bite into," like firm bagel, if you know what I mean. Also when you say "mochimochi pan (bread)," it's also often used to refer to bread that uses rice powder to give that just a bit sticky, nicely chewy, bouncy feel to the teeth.
I don't know what kind of "soft" bread you want to have - "fuwafuwa" would be "fluffy" like whipped cream, (like clouds up in the sky, or cotton candy too), and "fukafuka" would be fluffy and light like "mushi-pan" (steamed bread/buns) (also for nice cushions, etc.).

Moist breads are "motchiri" or "shittori" while "mochi mochi" is more like "sticky" as implied. But I can understand that "mochi mochi" has a more funny and adorable tone, which might be what you're aiming for.
The "fuwa fuwa" suggestion is great, too, but I guess breads like pita can be categorized as "fuwa fuwa," and you might be aiming for bread that is more uniquely Japanese.
I'm afraid Sakura Bakery, to me, sounds like a lame name that someone came up with just to attract Japanese tourists. But anpan is supposed to have pickled sakura on the top, by the way.
Actually, I think Mochi Mochi is nice. I don't know if you call it "cool," but it would strike a nice conversation with your customers and there's nothing really wrong about your interpretation.
But frankly, I love the pita style Egyptian breads and sweats ;)

Have you heard of the manga/anime called Yakitate Ja-pan? It's a play on the word Japan and "pan" (bread). I always thought it was pretty clever of them. If you really want your bakery to reflect Japanese breads perhaps you can try incorporating something like ジャパン屋 (Ja-pan Ya). It literally translates as Japanese (bread) house.
Just a thought. :)
Mochi mochi sounds cute too. But if it were me I would have thought it's a wagashi shop instead of a bread shop. Perhaps it's because I already knew what mochi was...

Sakura is the national flower of JP. Sakura-Ya bakery sounds nice to me (^o^) But unsure if the name images something inappropriate in Egypt.

You don't know how much I love your country.. It started when my grandfather received his PhD long time ago from Tokyo and kept telling me a lot of stories about Japan ..so, I was so curios to visit this county..
So, at the University, I studied Japanese language ..and after that I worked in JICA for 7 years, and now am working in E-JUST , Egypt Japan University of Science and Technology ..it's a Japanese university in Egypt !!! So I love being connected to Japan all the time ...
I went to Japan three times as a business trips through the previous years and last March, I decided to visit Japan as a tourist smile emoticon so, I came to witness the Sakura ... I stayed for one month and I took the bread making Japanese course .. It was amazing days there,,,
My younger sister is now a MSc student in Tokyo Institute of Technology .I visited her last March and we had an amazing time there so all the family are related somehow with this country
I really wish all Egyptian can have the chance to visit Japan at least once in their life time smile emoticon Maybe with my Japanese bread idea, I would let people knows more about Japan...Like what my grandfather did to me :)
My facebook account is Eiman Fouad...I will be happy to be friends with you guys :)
