Yotsuya Ishingo

Chinese-style steamed meat buns (nikuman) are the speciality here, but Yotsuya Ishingo’s creations are something quite different from the specimens you’d find at almost any supermarket in Tokyo. Going for a whopping ¥560 per bun, this gourmet nikuman is perfectly balanced, not overly thick and exquisitely prepared at the next-door factory. Find the shop a good ten minutes' walk from Sumiyoshi Station.
