The buns are generously sized, with a thick and elastic skin. The filling consists of finely minced meat mixed with onions, giving it a moist and slightly oily texture. The taste is slightly different from Chinese-style buns, but the overall texture is solid and satisfying.
The store only offers takeout, and although there are many people in line, it moves quickly, so you can buy in about 5 minutes.
Reviewer of the Braces: Takeout Only
This place is 551 Horai at Osaka Takashimaya, and it only offers takeout. There are quite a few people in line, but the queue moves quickly, and you can buy your food in about 5 minutes.
This time, I bought 2 buns (460 yen). The pork bun is generously filled, with a thick and elastic outer skin, and the filling consists of finely minced meat with onions, giving it a moist texture, though overall it's a bit on the oily side.
The buns in the store are freshly made, packed, and steamed, and they seem to be naturally fermented, providing a firm and rich texture. In terms of flavor, the minced meat is slightly different compared to Chinese-style buns; it's considered a specialty of Osaka, but personally, I think it's just okay.
