At Hakata Station, there is a new pork bun shop called "Taiheikaku" that opened on December 23rd. They are known for their large pork buns with plenty of filling. You can buy boxed ones to take home or get freshly made ones at the store. The buns are juicy and not too fragrant, making them suitable even for eating on the train. However, do you also feel like they could use some vinegar soy sauce?

This is probably the most repeated hometown tax payment! Recommended mail-order meat buns! They arrive refrigerated, so freeze any you don't eat right away individually! Thaw in the fridge the day before eating! ← This is important!! If you microwave from frozen, the skin will become tough so be careful! Wet the entire refrigerated bun with water and microwave for 1 minute each (700W) for a delicious meat bun! The skin is sweet and the filling is meaty and packed!

This year's Obon holiday was quite crowded at Hakata Station due to the suspension of Shinkansen services. I avoided the crowded Shinkansen and took a slower express train back. Feeling hungry, I bought a meat bun here for 200 yen each. It's not bursting with meat juice, but it's delicious. I also bought some souvenirs that can be easily reheated in the microwave.

This is a pork bun specialty shop in Onojo. They have been focusing on pork buns for 40 years now. They have a total of 6 stores in Fukuoka city. Recently, they opened a store in Meinohama. It's convenient for Hakata Station users. I bought a pork bun here and ate it on the Shinkansen on my way home. The skin is of a suitable thickness and the filling is packed. The meat juice is just right and the meat is tender and delicious. They also have refrigerated options, so it's great for souvenirs. The price is 200 yen per piece. Personally, I prefer this over XXX.

This is a meat bun shop located inside Maing Hakata. The main store is in Kasuga City, which I often visit, but I decided to stop by the store at Hakata Station. The shop had a variety of handmade meat buns for sale. On this day, I bought a pack of 6 meat buns to take home. The price was 1,200 yen for 6 meat buns. The meat buns are popular handmade items that have remained the same for a long time. The filling is a tightly packed, firm texture with a good bite to it. The shop is located inside Maing Hakata.
