The Upper Crust Difference
Our Authentic Japanese Panko bread crumbs taste lighter and crisper than competitors because we take our time and follow traditional Japanese methods. For the past 30 years, Upper Crust Enterprises has been a leader in providing truley authentic Panko bread crumbs to Asian restaurants all over the world.

To make our authentic Japanese Panko bread crumbs we start with a special proprietary blend of high protein flour, and carefully blend it with yeast and sugar to activate all the ingredients. We take our time and rise the dough to develop the perfect bread dough with long cell fibers.

Each loaf is then cooked in a custom oven, which uses electric current (instead of heat) to bake an airy, crust-less, all-white loaf. After naturally drying the bread a minimum of 18 hours, we grind the whole loaf using special screens and lightly toast the bread crumb to the perfect crispiness. It is a time-honored tradition of blending art and science, but the time is well invested because the final Panko bread crumb is guaranteed to

• Taste lighter & crisper than competition
• Deliver better product highlights and plate presentation
• Provide a 26% higher yield than competitors.
