Another popular item that has been a favorite for many who’ve come around the truck is our Salmon Korokke. The origins of the Korokke can be traced back to the early 1900s. Unlike the wordnikujaga, which is derived directly from Japanese, korokke is in essence a Japanese derivation of the word croquette, a popular fried dish originally from France.
The Korokke has seen many variations through time and there isn’t a single, particular way to enjoy this treat. At the very base of the korokke is mashed potatoes that are mixed in with a variety of ingredients from meat to vegetables and even cream. With a crispy panko crust exterior and a warm, soft potato filling, the korokke present a wonderful combination of differing textures.
In Japan, the korokke is enjoyed in various ways. Whether it’s a standalone appetizer, or complemented with rice as a meal or even mashed between two pieces of bread in a sandwich, its versatility is perhaps why we still enjoy the korokke so much to this day.
