Nikuman is a popular snack in Japan. It is served hot so you may not see it during the hot seasons but you can see them sold at many places during autumn and winter. It is established as a snack during the cold seasons in Japan, reminding us of the approaching winter.
Nikuman was originally introduced to Japan as "chukaman" (Chinese-style steamed bun). Initially it was sold only at specialty shops in Chinatown, then started to be sold to Japanese consumers around 1927. Chukaman sold at an old established food company in Shinjuku, Tokyo is still very popular today. Among chukaman, nikuman with meat filling inside was especially a hit, and gradually spread throughout Japan. Convenience stores started selling nikuman in the 1990's and became a big hit. It's a popular snack food for students after school and business persons.
Nikuman is a steamed bun with meat filling wrapped by white fluffy skin. The ingredients are finely chopped pork meat, onion and shiitake mushrooms. The soft texture of meat and juicy gravy make it appealing. It tastes good as is or is eaten with sauce and mustard depending on the shop.
Shumai is a traditional type of Chinese dumpling, originating from Huthot, but as usually happened, Japan enhanced it to remake it to match it's taste. Today, Shumai in Japan are steamed pork bun fillings stuffed with Shumai wrappers. In the Japanese version of Shumai, you can also find crab or shrimp as the main ingredients. Compared to the Chinese shaomai which is usually minced, the meat in Japanese shumai is ground to paste.
Japanese Shumai is usually made of ground pork and chopped brown onions with a green pea on top of each. The green pea on top of the shumai is a signature created by a Japanese Frozen Company in the 1960's and still existing today. Since then, most companies follow the same to add a green pea on top of the Shumai. Shredded crab pieces are added on top of the Crab Shumai instead of the green pea.
