Mama San Panko Breadcrumbs 1kg | Bulk Japanese-Style Panko Crumbs
All the light, shattering crunch of Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs in a 1kg bulk bag — the practical choice for kitchens that crumb often and don't want to run out. Mama San Panko Breadcrumbs deliver the same large-flake, airy coating that makes panko so superior to regular fine breadcrumbs, in a size that suits restaurants, caterers, food trucks, and households where crumbed chicken, schnitzels, and katsu are a regular fixture on the menu.
The 1kg bag offers outstanding value per gram compared to smaller 200g packs, and keeps a busy kitchen well stocked without constant restocking. Use it for chicken katsu, pork tonkatsu, crumbed fish, prawn cutlets, crumbed vegetables, and anything else that deserves a properly light, golden, crispy coating. Available for delivery across South Africa from Fabasian.
Why you'll love it:
- 1kg bulk size — best value panko for high-volume crumbing
- Light, irregular flakes for a dramatically crunchier coating than fine breadcrumbs
- Ideal for restaurants, takeaways, caterers, and households that crumb regularly
- Same Japanese-style panko quality in an economical bulk format
- Stays crispy longer — no soggy coating even after resting

Best enjoyed: Coating large batches of chicken katsu, pork schnitzel, crumbed fish, prawn cutlets, and crumbed vegetables for restaurant service, catering events, or family-sized home cooking sessions.
Suitable for: Restaurants and takeaway kitchens, caterers, food trucks, high-volume home cooks, and anyone who uses panko regularly enough that buying 200g at a time no longer makes sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Mama San 1kg the same panko as the smaller 200g brands? A: Yes — it's the same Japanese-style large-flake panko breadcrumb in a bulk format. The 1kg offers significantly better value per gram for high-volume users.
Q: How should I store a 1kg bag of panko once opened? A: Transfer to an airtight container after opening and store in a cool, dry place. Properly sealed, panko keeps well for several months. Avoid moisture, which will cause the crumbs to soften and clump.
