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.


Unlike Cream-pan or Chocolate-pan, which are baked after filling the dough with cream, corone is baked before filling with cream, to keep the filling moist.
Unlike the Western cooking techniques of kneading cream into bread or putting it on top of the dough, creating a cavity in the bread and filling it with cream is said to be a uniquely Japanese cooking techniques, and the techniques are accepted from manjū.。
