551 Horai Tennoji Station Store

At 551 Horai Tennoji Station Store, you can build a takeaway selection around its signature pork buns, adding shumai, chimaki and sweet-and-sour meatballs. The menu describes the buns as having a springy, hand-wrapped dough filled with pork and onion. They are available in packs ranging from 2 to 10.

One customer who said they regularly buy the pork buns also picked up 6 shumai, 3 kinds of chimaki and an ice lolly. The fillings vary: options include pork, chestnut and shiitake mushroom; chicken, quail egg and bamboo shoot; and shrimp, squid, scallop, clam and edamame. You could choose one of each to compare. Shumai come in packs of 6 or 10; the menu describes them as generous portions packed with the savoury flavour of pork and onion.

For another side, try a pack of 10 sweet-and-sour meatballs. These fluffy meatballs are coated in a sweet-and-sour sauce and make an option to add to a meal at home. This is a takeaway-only shop, with no dine-in service, so it may suit anyone looking for food or a gift to take away from the station. Choose pork buns as the mainstay, or add chimaki and shumai to suit the occasion and the number of people eating.
