Kani Cream Korokke is another popular western-style Japanese dish that has been around for a long time. A mixture of creamy béchamel sauce and crab meat is coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried. Kani Cream Korokke is often found on a menu at Yoshokuya (western style Japanese food restaurant) as well as some grocery stores and delis in Japan.
