Shokupan

Cultural Context

Shokupan, or Japanese milk bread, originated in Japan during the Meiji era as Western baking techniques were introduced. This soft, fluffy bread became a staple in Japanese households, often enjoyed as toast or in sandwiches. Its unique texture is achieved through a tangzhong method, where a portion of the flour is cooked with water to create a roux, enhancing moisture retention. Today, Shokupan is celebrated globally, inspiring variations and adaptations in many cuisines.
