Japanese Curry Bread

Have you ever tried Japanese curry bread?

It is a popular Japanese Street food. It consists of Japanese curry wrapped in a piece of dough, which is then coated in breadcrumbs & sesame seeds and deep fried. Most Japanese bakeries in London offer a baked version instead of deep fried, but deep frying is the most common method of cooking it in Japan and it’s the key to perfection! We are one of a few bakeries which offers a fried version.

Enjoy our wide range of curry breads from a curry-bread specialised kitchen!

Kanazawa is a Japanese owned bakery specialised in curry bread and sells its curry bread mainly through events or local markets.

Dough

All of our bread dough is hand-kneaded and specially tailored for deep fried bread and are always made to order. You might think a fried bread would be heavy but our dough is customised for fried bread and does not absorb much oil so you can enjoy a light texture. In addition, by incorporating a unique Japanese baking technique - Tangzhong, our curry bread has a long-lasting crispy & moist texture and you can enjoy prolonged freshly-fried-ness.

Curry Filling

We simmer vegetables for a long time until they become a flavourful puree, which enhances the sweetness of the vegetables. The rough minced beef is cooked to leave a juicy firm texture. They are then stewed together with our Japanese curry spices until it thickens, which is a perfect combination with our slightly sweet bread dough.

We have prepared a range of curry breads based on this filling by adding toppings such as cheese or a sausage so you can enjoy a wider variety of fours.

A new filling/toppings will be soon added as a limited line-up on a regular basis.

Why Japanese Curry bread in the UK?

Curry bread is a perfect marriage between savoury Japanese curry and deep-fried bread. Brits love Cornish pasty, pies, and curry. We believe they will certainly love our Japanese curry bread which combines the best aspects of those British-loved foods.
Japanese food such as sushi and ramen has already been widely popular and you will find them easily throughout the UK.
Less-pricey yet with a good taste is a virtue back in Japan and it is called - B-class gourmet (affordable & tasty food).
However, it is disappointing to see there aren’t many options for this range of Japanese foods here and curry bread, in particular, is one of the most popular foods in Japan. We are founding this business with the belief that we want to convey the charm of curry bread to the people of the UK while keeping the authenticity: an affordable and delicious savoury bread.
