Yoshoku Recipes (Japanese-Style Western Cuisine)

Discover Yoshoku recipes, a delicious blend of Japanese and Western comfort food. Try classics like hambagu (Japanese hamburger steak), omurice (omelet rice), katsu curry, korokke (croquettes), and spaghetti napolitan.

These dishes are rich, satisfying, and easy to make at home. Perfect for weeknight meals or when you’re craving something nostalgic with a Japanese twist.

Yoshoku originated in Japan during the late 19th century. These dishes are inspired by European and American food but have been adapted to suit Japanese tastes, ingredients, and cooking techniques.

Ingredients like soy sauce, panko, and Japanese mayo are often used, so the flavors are more familiar to Japanese people. The dishes are often served with rice or shredded cabbage, not bread or potatoes.
