The Inside Scoop
Did you know?
The name comes from the French 'corne' (horn) — the shape resembles a seashell or horn. Japan has a long-running debate: do you eat it from the wide end (where the chocolate is) or the narrow end (plain bread)? There's no right answer, but everyone has a strong opinion. A national conversation topic since forever.
How to eat
- 1The wide end is packed with chocolate cream; the narrow end is mostly bread. Start from whichever end you prefer — just know it's a topic people feel strongly about.
- 2You can unwind the spiral and eat it strip by strip, dipping each piece into the chocolate. A perfectly acceptable (and fun) approach.
- 3The chocolate cream doesn't always reach the narrow tip. If you get a plain-bread bite at the end, that's normal — consider it a palate cleanser.
