Bring the comfort of bakery-style Japanese milk bread into your home with the Japanese Shokupan Loaf Pan with Lid (1.5 Loaf Size). Designed to match the classic dimensions used by traditional bakeries in Japan, this authentic mold helps you achieve tall, cloud-soft loaves with beautifully squared corners—perfect for uniform slicing, toast, and sandwiches.

Crafted in Japan from professional-grade aluminized steel, the 0.6 mm wall thickness ensures exceptional heat conduction for a fine, silky crumb and an evenly caramelized, golden crust every time.

Made in Japan from aluminized steel, the pan is sturdy yet responsive, ideal for serious home bakers who love precision. The straight sides and fitted lid support even rising, so your loaf keeps its elegant shape as it bakes and cools. Use the lid closed for standard square sandwich bread, or leave it off for a beautifully domed, mountain-shaped (yama-gata) shokupan.

From everyday breakfast toast to special weekend baking projects, this shokupan mold lets you recreate the comforting flavor and look of Japanese bakery bread right from your own oven.

Product Care & Seasoning

• Before First Use (Seasoning): Wash with a neutral detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Bake the empty pan in a warm oven to burn off residual manufacturing oils before your first bake.
• Before Baking: Always apply a thin, even layer of oil or butter to the interior surfaces and lid before adding your dough.
• After Baking: Allow the pan to cool slightly, then remove the bread and wipe away crumbs and excess oil.
• Cleaning: Hand wash only. Avoid soaking or dishwashers. For stubborn residue, wash briefly with a neutral detergent, dry immediately, and place it in a warm, turned-off oven to ensure all moisture is completely evaporated.
