Hello! This is Chida from the Holiday Travel editorial team! ✨ I recently received the famous Osaka souvenir "551" and would love to share my experience with you!
When it comes to Osaka, you can't miss 551's pork buns! Today I'll share my honest review after trying them myself.
What is 551?
551 Horai is a legendary pork bun shop representing Osaka. Founded in 1945, this long-established restaurant has expanded primarily throughout the Kansai region. Their pork buns are beloved as Osaka's soul food and are known as a classic Osaka souvenir.
My Tasting Experience!
Pork Buns Review
The pork buns are surprisingly large - bigger than my fist! The dough is incredibly fluffy and packed with generous filling. You can really taste the rich umami of the pork, and they're absolutely delicious 😋
Shrimp Shumai Was a Pleasant Surprise!
This was my first time trying their shrimp shumai, and I was amazed by how delicious it was! The plump, bouncy texture of the shrimp is incredible ☺️
It pairs perfectly with white rice!
Available Online Too!
551 products aren't just available at Kansai stores - you can also purchase them online! Even if you live far away, you can enjoy authentic Osaka flavors!

This was my first time trying 551 products, and everything exceeded my expectations. The shrimp shumai was particularly a delightful discovery, and I love how well it complements the pork buns ･゜ﾟ･:.｡..｡.:･'(ﾟ▽ﾟ)'･:.｡. .｡.:･゜ﾟ･
Whether you're visiting Osaka and looking for souvenirs, or you're far away and want to use their online shop, I highly recommend experiencing the taste of 551!
