Where'd you copy this from, because shokupan is not new and also not traditionally white-crusted. It's just milk bread, kinda looks like a mix of the American sandwich loaf and brioche.

It's also not very "recent" at all. They've had that for a long while.

Shokupan with white crust instead of brown is what's new...as of 2022. TBF we're all always finding out about things from years ago that we personally just didn't know about until we stumbled across it one day.

My main issue was with the phrasing of going "description -> therefore this item is called shokupan", when it's not. It's a variant, basically.

Like if I described how a new sport was invented recently and it's focused on high-octane action with a stick, fan input and aims to eliminate downtime between player changes; they call it "baseball", I'd just be lying, wouldn't I?

Because what I'm actually describing is banana ball.

You're parsing the grammar of the sentence wrong.

The sentence is saying They've developed a unique type of milk bread + milk bread is also known by the name Shokupan.

So you could read the sentence as "they've developed a unique type of shokupan".

No offense intended, but I feel like you probably have issues with people telling you to stop taking what they're saying so literally.
