Korokke Pan (Croquette Bread)

コロッケパン

A whole croquette in a bun — Japan's ultimate carb-on-carb.

A crispy, golden croquette nestled inside a bread roll, usually drizzled with tangy tonkatsu sauce and sometimes topped with shredded cabbage.

The Inside Scoop

Did you know?

The magic of korokke pan is the coexistence of four textures: crispy panko shell, creamy potato filling, fluffy bread, and crunchy shredded cabbage. Four textures rushing in with every bite — that's a lot of information for one little bun.

How to eat

  • 1The croquette inside stays surprisingly hot. Don't rush the first bite — the creamy potato filling holds heat well.
  • 2Sauce is key. It's usually already drizzled on, or included as a small packet.
  • 3The korokke can slide around inside the bun. Keep the wrapper on and eat from one end to avoid losing it.
