Delicious but cheap, ideal middle class food
One of the most popular bread in Japan is “Curry bread”(called Curry pan in Japanese), or I can say one of the most popular curry is Curry bread. Strangely, bread is not Japanese food and curry is not neither Japanese food. But Curry bread is Japanese food.
The reason why so curry bread is popular is that it’s very delicious.
Interesting point is this is not like a bread. if you are first time to see it, you must to recognise is as croquette. or nobody get angry if we change it’s name to curry croquette. or we should have named it as curry croquette. Maybe the Japanese who make curry bread confuse bread and croquette, and mistakingly start to call it curry bread (curry pan).
But name is not our interest. if it’s cheap and delicious, we don’t care name. Most important thing here is that we must know the existence of curry bread that is similar to croquette.
If you don’t notice curry bread and lost the chance to buy curry bread, it means that you lost very important Japanese middle class food culture experience.
Life is short and money is limited, Curry bread is very cost effective Japanese food. When you come to Japan, go to find curry bread and try it.

This reminds me of spam musubi in Hawaii — combining fast food from the mainland US and fast food from Japan to make something that nobody from the mainland US or Japan would think of making. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_musubi
Similar to Mexican “Enamorado” (man in love) sweet
