Croissant (kurowassan): In Japanese Katakana, it can be written as クロワッサン.


Croissant is a popular pastry in Japan. Naturally, when in abroad, people try to buy Croissant in Bakery. That attempt often fail because in Japan its pronunciation, "kurowassan", is far from the original pronunciation.


"A croissant (/krəˈsɒnt/ or /ˈkrwʌsɒŋ/; French pronunciation: [kʁwa.sɑ̃] ) is a buttery flaky viennoiserie pastry named for its well-known crescent shape. Croissants and other viennoiserie are made of a layered yeast-leavened dough. The dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, in a technique called laminating. The process results in a layered, flaky texture, similar to a puff pastry.

Crescent-shaped food breads have been made since the Middle Ages, and crescent-shaped cakes possibly since antiquity.

Croissants have long been a staple of French bakeries and pâtisseries. In the late 1970s, the development of factory-made, frozen, pre-formed but unbaked dough made them into a fast food which can be freshly baked by unskilled labor. The croissanterie was explicitly a French response to American-style fast food, and today 30–40% of the croissants sold in French bakeries and patisseries are frozen. Today, the croissant remains popular in a continental breakfast." - from Wikipedia
