Japanese milk bread or shokupan is one of the world’s true wonderbreads. An ultra-soft squishy and impossibly light bread shokupan has a mild but distinct sweetness with a fine pillowy crumb that the Japanese call “fuwa fuwa” or “airy fluffy.” The bread is baked in deep rectangular Pullman pans which gives the bread a high profile.
There are two main styles of shokupan each determined by whether the bread is baked with the lid on the pan or off. "Kaku" means "square" and refers to breads that are baked with a lid on the pan. This method produces perfectly rectangular loaves making them ideal for sandwiches ("sandos" in Japanese). "Yama" or "mountain" means the bread is baked without a lid; because the rolls of dough are placed side by side in the pan they form a high ridge as they rise and bake.
