Corone (Japanese: コロネ or コルネ; lit. 'Coronet') is a sweet bread developed in Japan. The bread is made by wrapping dough around a conch-shaped metal tube, baking it, and then filling it with cream. It is called choco corone (Japanese: チョココロネ; lit. 'chocolate corone') when filled with chocolate cream, and cream corone (Japanese: クリームコロネ; lit. 'cream corone') when filled with custard cream.
The word "corone" is thought to come from either a French word which refers to horn, or an English word which refers to a brass instrument. It is said to have existed during the Meiji era, but it is unknown who invented it.
