The meat buns are comforting with a rough texture and a strong homey feel. I've always been curious about them as a meat bun lover, so I decided to stop by. They said the minimum order was 2 buns, so I got a meat bun and a curry bun. I wanted to eat them right there, so I had to wait for about 5 minutes. The meat buns were small and could be eaten in 3 or 4 bites. They were freshly steamed, so the skin had a nice bounce to it, and the filling had a rough, home-cooked taste. The curry bun was mostly filled with curry, giving a sense of stability.

There is a new meat bun shop, and of course I will go❣️ Meat buns⁉️ I love pork buns. I've never been to this new shop before. It's a delicious new place that someone took me to. I'll just sit quietly in the passenger seat and wonder where we're going next. I enjoy the drive. Along the way, there are suggestions for good shops like "This place is delicious" or "That place is good". We have arrived. We found the shop right away facing the street. I bought two boxes of meat buns to take home. The dough is made with fermented batter and no additives are used. The filling includes ingredients like Chinese cabbage, onions, lotus root, dried shiitake mushrooms, all domestically sourced. The taste is gentle and the dough, which is fermented slowly, is delicious❣️ That day, I immediately froze the leftovers. It can be steamed easily in a small steamer, not just a large one, and can be heated up in the microwave to enjoy hot. It seems like it would be great for snacks or breakfast. It was a delicious small meat bun.

This is a handmade meat bun shop on Shichijo Street, offering takeout only. I visited with a friend, and we bought 5 small meat buns for 120 yen each. The buns had a chewy texture and were filled with tightly packed ingredients. They were small in size and easy to eat. I only bought enough for myself this time, but next time I might buy some as souvenirs. The shop is open from 11:00 to 18:00, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

There is a handmade meat bun sign outside. The menu includes meat buns, curry meat buns, and shumai. It seems that there are limited items like scallop shumai only on weekends. If frozen, these limited items are available anytime. The meat buns on the sign are slightly small, making them easy to eat, and they are quite delicious, with a chewy skin and juicy filling. The shumai is also of high quality. I finished 12 pieces easily. I will definitely go back to buy more. I'm happy to have discovered this great shop.

It's rare to find a handmade shumai shop! I visited this place and the atmosphere inside was simple, with a very friendly owner welcoming me. I bought some shumai, scallop shumai, meat buns, and curry buns. When I got home and reheated them, the shumai had a nostalgic and simple taste. I envy those who have this nearby neighbor to buy from anytime!

I visited a meat bun shop for takeout, which I had visited only about twice before it opened. On my first visit, I was moving... and although it's not far away, it seems like their regular holiday has changed, so I visited after a long time. When I visited after a long time, they were selling not only the standard meat buns but also curry buns, red bean buns, and shumai. The staff was the same guy from my first visit. The size of the meat buns is smaller than the ones you see at convenience stores or supermarkets. I feel like the convenience store ones are not satisfying at all for the price, and they seem expensive lately. However, these meat buns here are small but satisfying for me, both in terms of the dough and the filling. They may look small, but they are much more satisfying and delicious than the visually larger convenience store meat buns.

This is a small takeout-only shop near JR Umekoji-Kyoto Nishi Station that sells handmade meat buns called "Rei -RAI-". I happened to notice the shop while driving by, and decided to stop in for some takeout. I bought 6 pieces of shumai for 440 yen, 1 handmade meat bun for 120 yen, and 1 handmade curry bun for 120 yen. The meat buns are small but very tasty and meaty! The shumai is even more delicious and highly recommended!

Soon it will be the season when I start craving nikuman (steamed pork buns). On a very hot Friday in mid-September, I visited this shop that only opens on weekends to buy some nikuman. Since there was no seating inside the shop and I went in the evening, they were only selling cold nikuman. I bought 5 pieces and brought them home to heat up. The nikuman were small in size and perfect as a snack. The dough, made without yeast or additives, is fermented using homemade starter for a long time, resulting in a chewy and firm texture. Unlike convenience store nikuman, you can choose the firmness you prefer. The filling was light in flavor, not greasy, and had a pleasant meaty taste. My daughter also loved these nikuman. This shop's nikuman seem to be well-received by women as well.

A takeout meat bun shop opened in the neighborhood. I kept thinking about going, but because it's so close, I never actually went. By chance, I found a flyer in my mailbox, so I decided to check it out (got one free with the flyer!). The handmade meat buns are slightly smaller than the ones sold in convenience stores. The dough is soft, and the filling has a good texture with plenty of meat packed inside. They only offer one type of meat bun, priced at 120 yen each. I initially thought it was run by a young person, but it turned out to be a tall middle-aged man. I asked if I could eat it as is since my microwave was broken, and he said, "It was made around 11 o'clock, so it's slightly warm." He even included instructions on how to warm it up. If they were sold hot like at convenience stores, it would be great for people heading to Umekoji Park or the aquarium to grab one on the go. It needs to be eaten on the same day, but it could also make a nice gift.
