Proving everything in a bun


肉まん
Nikuman
Meat-bun

A steamed dough bun wrapped around a ball shredded pork.
Pure taste bud joy. I was excepting a hunk of over-cooked ham from the pictures and examples I'd seen from anime, especially since I don't usually eat red meat.
This was extremely tender cuts of sweet pork in a light sauce. Even the steamed bun is a sweetened and chewy, combining into a taste that just melts in your mouth.
I may seem a bit partial to this, and it's not exactly a 'strange' food, but I ate one every day for over a month for breakfast while in Japan. This has become one of my favorite foods you can eat with your bare hands.
