2022:12 revisit ♪ Sometimes, I inexplicably crave "Ryuufuku"! Since the Fuse branch is gone, I came to Momodani on the way~ (*^-^*) ★ Char siu bun ♪ It's a must-have item with plenty of char siu and sweet bean paste that is irresistible! ★ Pork bun ♪ Actually, it was my first time buying it! It's huge, with a moist and sweet skin and great filling inside! It's like they took 551's skin, put in Nifumi's bean paste, and made it a size bigger (lol). The price is cheap and it's the best~ (^^)♪

A single pork bun costs 160 yen. The slightly sweet dough is made with fresh yeast, not dry yeast, and is carefully fermented for a second time to create a fine and chewy texture. The juicy meat flavor is concentrated by wrapping domestic fresh pork and onions before steaming.

This is the Momodani branch of Ryufuku, a specialty pork bun shop located in Shinano-cho. They offer pork buns and vegetable buns, but my top recommendation is the Char Siu bun (tax included 160 yen). It has large pieces of Char Siu inside and is very delicious. When it's freshly steamed, it's incredibly tasty. It also makes a great souvenir.

2020: First revisit♪ I brought a set of Ryuufuku's char siu buns and shumai as a gift, and everyone was thrilled! They were so happy, saying "This char siu with lots of meat is amazing, I've never had anything like it before!" It made me happy too~ (*^-^*)★ Char siu bun 1 piece for 160 yen♪ It's even bigger now, almost the size of a child's face (laughs). Indeed, the filling with char siu is addictive!(^^)!★ Shumai 5 pieces for 160 yen♪ Oh wow, so juicy and fluffy! It's hard to believe the price for such rich content~ (*^-^*)

2019 Revisit♪ I always crave the delicious and hearty pork buns from "Ryuufuku"! Today, I tried their shumai for the first time - 5 pieces♪ Wow, they are so juicy and delicious!(^^)! The char siu pork buns and regular pork buns are both amazing in terms of portion size and affordability! The generous amount of char siu is a delight, and the gentle flavor of the pork buns is something everyone should try. I highly recommend you all to taste it at least once! (*^-^*)

On the way back from Momotani, where I had some errands to run, I usually drive but this time I took the train, so I felt like getting something delicious to eat on the way back. I explored the Momotani shopping street, which was bustling with energy. Unfortunately, I noticed that a bookstore where I had shopped before had closed down. There were side streets with izakayas and Chinese restaurants that caught my eye, but my stomach was feeling a bit off, so I stopped by a takeout-only pork bun shop that caught my eye. Oh, they also have takeout for xiaolongbao? And they're raw? You have to steam them yourself for 8 minutes, they said. The pork buns are already steamed so you can eat them right away, they added. I wasn't sure what to do. In the end, I bought one pork bun and one pack of xiaolongbao. One warm and one cold item. They were packed separately in different bags. However, on the way back, I ended up eating out, so I saved these for the next morning. I steamed the pork bun using a microwave steamer. The buns were soft and chewy, with a filling that was like a less spicy version of the 551 brand, and the paper at the bottom (thin wood) peeled off easily due to the oil. I liked it. I feel like 551 has gotten smaller recently, and if there's a store like this in my area, I would use it often. Now, it's time to steam the xiaolongbao. I prepared by lining the steamer with cooking paper. Oh no, the skin was sticky and got stuck to my fingers... Oh no, it tore apart! I left it in the fridge overnight, maybe that was a mistake, or I should have frozen it if I was going to keep it that long. Anyway, I ruined it before steaming it myself. When I steamed it, the soup leaked out onto the sheet, and it looked terrible. The taste was good though. In the interest of the shop's reputation, I won't post a picture of the disaster. I won't give a star rating this time since it was a big failure. I want to try again. By the way, this shop has four locations in the eastern part of Osaka City. I didn't know that. Pork bun 150, Xiaolongbao 400. So cheap!

There is a popular pork bun specialty store in a shopping street near Momotani Station. I ordered the number one pork bun and char siu bun, each for 150 yen. They are quite large. The pork bun has a perfect match of pork and sweet onion, making it juicy and incredibly delicious. As for the char siu bun, the sliced pork belly simmered in a sweet sauce is fantastic.

Located about a 2-minute walk east of Momoya Station, there is a takeout-only shop specializing in pork buns. The menu includes pork buns, dumplings, shumai, xiaolongbao, spring rolls, and more. When I visited in the evening, some items were already sold out. I purchased the following items: Pork Bun (150 yen): The skin is thin and soft with a nice sweetness. The filling is juicy with a good balance of meat and onions, and has a mild and gentle flavor compared to Penglai. The size is quite large, providing a satisfying eating experience. Char Siu Bun (150 yen): The skin is soft, but firmer than the pork bun. Inside, there are large chunks of char siu that enhance the sweet and savory flavor of the filling. This one is also delicious. Grilled Dumplings (5 pieces for 150 yen): Sold at a cheaper price than supermarket deli options, these dumplings have a light and vegetable-heavy flavor, rather than being overly meaty. They are decently sized and have a satisfactory taste. Shumai (5 pieces for 150 yen): Also quite affordable, these shumai have a strong meaty flavor and are on the smaller side, but still tasty. I think they fall into the category of delicious homemade dim sum. While it's best to eat them fresh on the spot, taking home these homemade-style dishes from the downtown area is a good option. They are all reasonably priced and tasty, making me want to purchase them again if I have the chance.

Pork bun: Handmade using domestic pork and onions, it is juicy and delicious. The skin is fluffy and both are tasty. Char siu bun: The sauce contains chunks of pork belly. The char siu is very tender and tasty. Two-color bean paste bun: There is a little white part in the red bean paste, made with white kidney beans. It's perfect for a snack. Shumai: The meat filling is the same as the pork bun, delicious and 5 for 150 yen, same price as one pork bun. It's a tough choice. I also want to try the pan-fried dumplings and spring rolls. Xiao long bao and boiled dumplings are only available fresh, so you can cook them at home. I forgot to take pictures of the products, but I received a flyer, so I will upload that.

In a downtown shopping street, there is a takeout-only pork bun shop. The bun is a bit tough, but the filling is juicy and tasty! Will visit again.

Near JR Momoya Station, there is a pork bun shop that only offers takeout. The customer service was friendly. I purchased a pork bun for 150 yen this time. They gave me a freshly steamed hot bun. The skin was soft and chewy, with a good wheat flour flavor, and the filling was delicious with plenty of juice. However, it was a bit disappointing that the skin was completely stuck to the wooden bottom and couldn't be removed.

Osaka is fun and always changing. Personally, I recommend the xiaolongbao.

This is a review of a popular pork bun shop called "Ryuufuku" located in the Komagawa Shotengai shopping street in Higashisumiyoshi-ku, Osaka. The shop opened last fall and has become a favorite spot for many people. They specialize in handmade pork buns, offering variations like "Char Siu Bun" and "Vegetable Bun" in addition to the regular pork bun. The shop is mainly for takeout, but there are benches outside where you can enjoy your food. The pork bun is described as heavy and slightly flattened compared to other shops. The skin is moist and elastic, with a subtle sweetness, while the filling is a mixture of flavorful pork and sweet onions. The handmade quality gives it a unique taste, similar to the famous "Futami" shop in Namba. Overall, the reviewer recommends trying out this shop for a delicious and authentic pork bun experience.

♪My handmade feelings♪ (Lyrics: Becky) In Fuse, there is a handmade pork bun shop called "Ryuufuku" that my husband and I really like because of its overwhelming size and deliciousness for the price! There is also a branch of the same chain in Momodani, so we decided to try it out (*^_^*) The staff here also seem to be Chinese. The Char Siu bun costs 150 yen including tax and has a chewy skin and plenty of Char Siu filling, just like the Fuse shop, it is voluminous and delicious! It was also very popular with the locals (*^_^*)

I had curry for lunch and decided to take a little stroll. Oh, I remember now, I wanted to try the udon restaurant in Momotani Arcade. For souvenirs, I'll get some pork buns since it's just my wife and me, we don't need a lot. So, I'll get one pork bun, one char siu bun, and one vegetable bun for a total of 500 yen. Oh, I also remembered that the Chinese steamed buns looked delicious. I completely forgot about them. I'll buy them at the main store in Komagawa Shopping Street. Lately, the Momotani store has become more familiar. Thank you for the delicious meal as always.

I went to Daiso to buy some yarn and then stopped by Ryufuku next door for takeout. I got 2 Char Siu Buns. They were sold out last time I came, so I'm happy. The Char Siu Buns from 551 are hard to come by... and they are quite big.

I had ramen and then walked towards Momoya Shopping Street. I had pre-studied this shop beforehand. They have pork buns, char siu buns, two-color bean buns, and shumai. The buns are filled generously, making them thick and delicious. I still think the regular pork bun is the best! On the other hand, the shumai is small and I finished it in no time.

Specialty store for pork buns. Takeout only. I was intrigued by the variety of options available, so I decided to stop by. I bought a pork bun, a char siu bun, a vegetable bun, and a two-color bean paste bun, one of each. There was a slight discount if you bought four different types, but I forgot the exact amount. I think it was in the 600 yen range. I was concerned about the smell when taking the pork buns home, but the ones from this store didn't have a strong odor. The pork buns were quite large for the price. The dough was dense and chewy, unlike the fluffy convenience store pork buns, making it more of a substantial meal. The filling was not packed all the way to the edge of the dough, but it was still delicious. Despite usually preferring meat, I surprisingly enjoyed the vegetable bun the most. The two-color bean paste bun, with white bean paste wrapped in black bean paste, made me feel like I got a good deal. The char siu bun had large chunks of char siu inside. My husband said the meat bun was the most delicious.

I visited a branch of the famous restaurant Ryufuku in Myoko and bought xiaolongbao, pork buns, and grilled pork buns. The xiaolongbao was overflowing with delicious broth! The pork buns had a consistent flavor with a hint of sweetness. The grilled pork buns had a stronger flavor, but once you start eating them, you can't stop because they are so delicious! Thank you for the meal~
