Karepan, a deep-fried bun stuffed with rich Japanese curry, is arguably the nation’s most popular donut. This month in Ueno, look forward to the annual Karepan Expo, where you’ll be able to choose from over 100 different variations of 'curry bread'.
Some curry fillings are on the sweet side whereas others are a little spicy, some bread are crispy while others are a little chewy. They’re super filling, so trying as many karepan as possible might prove to be difficult but it’s a challenge we welcome nonetheless.
