Korokke's Korokke

Korokke's Korokke (コロッケのころっ家) is a Japanese takeout-focused food brand whose name literally means "Korokke's Korokke" — a playful repetition of the Japanese word for croquette. According to its official website, the chain positions itself as a specialist takeout shop for croquettes, offering "commitment croquettes" (こだわりコロッケ) alongside visually appealing sweets, with the stated aim of delivering smiles to customers. The brand operates a network of small takeout outlets and in-store counters across Japan, frequently located inside shopping malls, roadside stations (michi-no-eki), service areas (SA), and food halls. The official site lists branches in a wide spread of prefectures, including Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Oita, Wakayama, Aomori, Shizuoka, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Toyama, Aichi, and others. Examples include the Koga Service Area store in Fukuoka (opened April 18, 2025), the Koyasan store in Wakayama, the Towada Omoi no Ki Cafe store in Aomori (opened April 15, 2024), the AEON Mall Hamamatsu Ichino store in Shizuoka (opened October 17, 2023), the Usa store in Oita (opened October 6, 2023), the Shimotsuke roadside station store in Tochigi (opened November 20, 2021), the Kumamoto Station store (opened November 17, 2022), and the Jōsō Rokoredi store in Ibaraki (opened October 8, 2022). This pattern of openings from 2021 onward indicates an active expansion phase during the early 2020s. Product-wise, the brand is known for croquette variations and seasonal items. The official news feed highlights the return of a popular crab cream croquette (かにクリームコロッケ) in November 2024, and a moon-viewing (月見) menchi katsu with a soft egg, launched September 7, 2024. The chain also runs customer-engagement campaigns, including a "Croquette General Election" (コロッケ総選挙) in 2025 and a second edition announced for 2026, as well as anime collaborations such as one with the series "DanMachi V" in September 2024. The brand also posted a notice in September 2026 regarding support for recovery and reconstruction following the Kumamoto earthquake. Ownership, founding year, and corporate structure are not specified in the available evidence. The brand appears to operate as a takeout food retail chain rather than a packaged-goods manufacturer, and its identity is tied to its store network and seasonal product marketing.

Product development has been a recurring theme. In September 2024 the chain launched a moon-viewing menchi katsu with a soft egg (月見メンチ) on September 7, 2024, and in November 2024 it brought back the popular crab cream croquette (かにクリームコロッケ).

In September 2026 the brand posted a notice about support for recovery and reconstruction following the Kumamoto earthquake.
