Coke cake is one of the home-cooked dishes in Japan, and it is often eaten with sauce such as fruit juice. The origin of "Coke Cake" is said to be croquettes from France. French croquettes are a mixture of fish and chicken. But there are also fried potatoes wrapped in bread flour.
There is also a dish in the Netherlands called kroket, which uses not only white juice but also potatoes, and may also be the source of coke cakes. It is said that it was spread from France to the Netherlands in 1909, so it is not credible in terms of the time when coke cakes spread to Japan.
