Cream Box

Cream box is a local bread born in Koriyama City, Fukushima. A thick slice of bread generously spread with snow white milk cream, it is an adorable looking soul food.

Highlights

The star is a gently sweet, milk flavored cream. It pairs wonderfully with the soft bread, and a single bite brings a comforting, homey taste. It is said to have been created at a city bakery in the 1970s, and today many bakeries across Koriyama make their own distinctive versions. Sold even at school shops, it is woven into daily life for locals.

Enjoying the Seasons

It is an easy snack bread to enjoy year round, perfect with breakfast or coffee. Because each shop varies the cream blend and the thickness of the bread, comparing them is part of the fun.

Access and Basic Information

It can be bought at bakeries around JR Koriyama Station and throughout the city. Most cost only around a hundred yen. Since it does not keep long, enjoy it the same day. Souvenir shops carry it as well.

A Quick Tip

Some shops offer cream variations such as chocolate or strawberry. Hopping between a few shops to find your favorite cream box is a Koriyama pleasure.
