Shokupan - The EASIEST Japanese Milk Bread

Shokupan is a fun word to say, directly translated, it means “food bread”. If you’ve never heard of it, then which rock have you been living under? Japanese milk bread or Shokupan has been gaining popularity for a number of years, and now they are everywhere!

And for good reason.

So what is it?

Shokupan is a feathery soft and fluffy white loaf of bread with origins from Japan, where it's enjoyed as an everyday bread. It has a mild, pleasing taste…slightly sweet…definitely milky with a hint of saltiness to balance things out.

However, it is its texture that most people will remember. While warm, you can pull strands of it apart and eat it like cotton candy. After it’s cooled down and sliced, the bread has a bouncy integrity that a variety of sandwich fillings.

Not unlike its cousin, the North American sliced bread sold in plastic bags in every grocery store, Shokupan has minimal crust and pillowy interior. However, the resemblance stops there. Japanese milk bread is enriched and has way more fat. In fact, 7 times more, either coming from milk, butter or in this case, cream.
