Panko is more than just breadcrumbs – it is a cornerstone of Japanese food culture. Known for its airy texture and unrivaled crispiness, panko has for generations been used in classic Japanese dishes such as tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) and ebi fry (crispy prawns). Unlike regular breadcrumbs, panko is made from crustless bread, which gives a lighter and more airy consistency that stays crispy and golden – even after frying.
But panko has also found new life in the modern kitchen. In the street food world it's used for everything from Asian sliders and crunchy tofu bites to fusion dishes like panko burgers and crispy bao buns. It's the perfect choice when you want to add an extra dimension of texture.
With J-Basket Panko you get genuine Japanese quality that suits traditional recipes as well as creative experiments in your own kitchen.
