Shokupan is Japanese white sandwich bread known for its soft, fluffy, milky crumb. The name literally means 'eating bread' in Japanese.

What does shokupan taste like?

Shokupan tastes mildly sweet and milky, with a moist, springy, pillowy texture. It is softer than regular white bread.

How do I eat shokupan?

Toast thick slices and top with butter and honey or jam, or use untoasted shokupan for sandwiches. It is the classic bread for tamago sando, katsu sando and fruit sando.

What is the difference between shokupan and regular white bread?

Shokupan is richer, softer and slightly sweeter than regular white bread, thanks to milk and a method that holds extra moisture. It is often baked in a lidded pan for a square, fine-textured loaf.

How should I store shokupan?

Store shokupan in an airtight bag at room temperature for a day or two, or freeze slices for longer. Frozen shokupan should be thawed and used as directed on the package.

Can I make French toast with shokupan?

Yes. Thick shokupan slices soak up custard well, making soft, creamy French toast. Pasco and Hokkaido milk loaves work well for this.
