Chinese steamed buns have begun to line up at convenience stores this year as well. Meanwhile, an unfamiliar Chinese steamed bun has appeared in Ministop. This year's new product " Italian Sausage Man ". The price is 128 yen (tax included).


A sausage dog-like shape that upsets the stereotype that Chinese steamed buns are round. The dynamic image visual is also impressive.


Such an unusual Chinese steamed bun is on sale today (August 14th). I got it right away and tried it.

■ I tried Ministop's Italian sausage bun

When you take it out of the package, an Italian sausage manga whose surface has become slightly flexible due to steam appears.


The dough is wrapped around the sausage about 4 times, and the sausages are exposed from both ends.


When you cut it, you can see the sausage in the center and the layer of pizza sauce on the dough.


Pizza sauce, less than I expected? I thought, but when I cracked the dough, it seemed to be spread all over, as you can see. You can also observe shredded onions and basil-like grains.


If you pull it along the roll, the dough will unravel like an image visual. I thought, but the soft and moist Chinese steamed bun dough seems to be torn off on the way.


When I try to eat it, the sweet pizza sauce goes well with the fluffy texture that is typical of Chinese steamed buns. The sweetness of onions and the flavor of spices were also felt in the pizza sauce, and the taste was deeper than I had imagined. The sausage has a crispy skin and a vivid contrast with the soft dough. Every time you chew, the taste of juicy meat permeates the dough.


This new shape has advantages as well as fun. It means that there is no tasteless bite (= dough only)! The pizza sauce in the whole dough and the sausages in the edges make it possible. Whether it's rice balls or Chinese steamed buns, the tasteless first bite is just bland ... By the way, even if I avoided the sausage and chewed only the dough, I was able to eat it deliciously with pizza sauce.


Italian sausage bun that can be eaten from the beginning to the end while maintaining the quality of the taste. It was a new face of the ability group, not only the appearance was strange.
