Panko is a Japanese variety of flaky Bread Crumb used as a crunchy coating in The Land of the Rising Sun for dishes like Tonkatsu.

Panko is made by pulverizing a crustless bread which is baked by an electricity passing through the dough. Panko is a larger Bread Crumb with a lighter, airier, crisper, texture than most other Western Bread Crumbs. Panko also clings better to product and resists absorbing oil or grease from Frying.

Panko is used most often on Fish and Seafood.
