Nikuman - Magic Japanese Steam Buns 

This makes me so freaking happy to read. I'm gonna pin this comment. Thank you for going out of your way to leave a comment. It means a lot to us :D

You finally got a response :3 congrats lol

took the words out of my mouth :)

Me paso lo mismo!!!, ahora trato de participar más activamente en los comentarios gracias a ese video =D

I couldn't agree more :) so inspired to be more involved in the nasty community.

I have trouble sleeping too, and I found out that it's so much easier to fall asleep on their podcasts!

Maddie calling haha I always do that with Jenna and Julien's Twitch stream videos :)

i thought i was the only one! eat your sushi is my favourite to fall asleep too. the positivity really helps my anxiety and its something nice and fun to fall asleep too

Try ASMR!! Saved my life for the past 10 yrs. :)

I just don't get why our quick bit foods are so lacking. Makes me happy when I do find an asian bakery, but boy do they keep their location secreat

you might find them on yelp?

The only thing worth eating are the baked foods at QUik Trip

This is why I miss the 7/11 in Hawaii. We get manapua which is the same thing as a nikuman basically. Not much variety but my fav flavor is char siu. There's also these pork dumpling things I forget the word for them, lil bentos and spam musubi. I'm so sad when I step into a 7/11 now.

Listentoyourheart You're talking about pork shumai! And yes, 7/11 in Hawaii does have great choices for quick foods. Char siu manapua is always a solid choice!

Lol hahaha

it was actually quite amazing for me. hahahaha

How about gross and disgusting?

@@raizelm1578 How so?

We even have a couple of Family Marts in NYC and they still don’t compare to the ones in Japan. :(

hatshepsutxlll I used to think 7/11 in the US wasn’t that bad, but then I realized 7/11 on the US Mainland is miserable compared to Hawaii ones.

Amy He they’re a bit closer to Japan (7-11 HQ). Probably closer to the Japanese standard out there.

OnlyDoniaUKnow It’s honestly kind of hard to pinpoint why we have a similar 7/11 culture to Japan. In a lot of aspects California is way more “Japanese” than Hawaii despite having a lot of Japanese people here. I doubt it has anything to do with distance. I also doubt it’s because we get a lot of Japanese tourists since it’s all local food. But I’m definitely happy that we have a lot of variety in our 7/11. Perhaps it’s because we have a lot of local food that’s easy to mass produce for 7/11. ~shrugs~

I feel like there's a pretty huge stigma in the states about "gas station food" that just isn't there in japan. 7eleven has some food, but because it would probably add up to just a straight loss here in the states, they don't do more than taquitos and hot dogs because those have a longer shelf life once you put them on the rollers. Lets be honest here, if your local 7eleven started stocking the rough US equivalent to steamed buns or something, would you buy it? Would the average customer buy it? I don't think so, sadly. I used to love the 7eleven taquitos until I started getting some serious shade for eating them because I bought them with my lunch money after school. I was made fun of with vague platitudes about how it was vaguely "gross" or "weird". Nothing about the quality of the food was either of those, but because it was from a convenience store, a lot of the people around me aside from my friends who also ate them started to be assholes about it. I wish 7eleven could, without losing money, stock more freshly prepared foods like this in the states, but until the stigma fades, or enough people all around the country show more interest in freshly prepped convenience store foods, I don't think we'll be getting them any time soon.

Pais523101 me too

Goes to book flight to japan......then the realization that ive been poor my whole life Kicks in....XD IMA MAKE MY OWN!!!!

that is a good plan, however steaming them is tricky business *inhales sharply thinking of Martina making midnight munchies of nikuman before getting back on track* making sure their not rubbery.

はい!がんばります! ぱいさま!

Pais523101 same tbh

Aleksandra Miglowiec Oh noooooo! haha that’s just cruel

Oh wow the coincidence 😂😂

Me too! My brothers and I have always done funny voices with each other, and I remember being so charmed when I saw Simon and Martina doing them too!

Eyes In The Darkness You can steel get one at 7/11 or Family mart even in summer, but because they are hot (obviously 😂), they sell them only till approximately 12am and only make like 5 of them, because they are not selling that well. So if you really want to taste it you should get up early and hurry up ;)

I've already met some people here who are doing the same for their vacation, and they seem to be loving it :D

Simon and Martina this is the best day ever. I got a answer 😭😭😭 Thank you guys. Sending my love from the other side of the world❤

My exact plan as well lmao I also plan to visit places they went to in their countries. They might not exist anymore but they are good ref to go off 😊💕

Yes! I wanna do it too 😆

Yes!!

Nicole & Fam why has this been done yet?! Best idea ever!!!!!

OMG I Would So make them!! This video made me sooo hungry

Oh! You're new to our channel then. Welcome to our videos! I hope to see you here more in the future. We eat lots of stuff around Japan :D

Sharon Gray I’ve been having awful sleeps because of my feet. I hope you’ll have better sleep tonight 🥛 🍪

Hannah Hong Thank you Hannah...i hope you also manage to get some sleep too 🙂

Broccoli Rocks Scottish Nasty here...it sucks bigtime anyhoo time to see if i can sleep commencing the counting of steamed buns now...😂😂😂 G'night xx

Insomnia from Italy 👋🏽

Also there is NOTHING from the Asian world that I love more than bao. Can't get them fresh around here unless I make them myself but omg they are SO good

I'm sorry you're having a rough day. I know how important it is to grab onto something before you slip too far. I'm really happy we could be there for you when you need us :D

Simon and Martina thanks for the reply! I actually end up binging your old videos alot when I go through these slumps, so you seriously have been there for me more than you know ❤

KIMYOKITTEN they have a camera person who films for them I believe

Steve_Buschemi’s Eyes ah, ok 👍

from texas too!:)

How is Bleach? Would you recommend?

It is quite the commitment (almost 400 episodes) and has quite a few filler episodes. Overall though, if you're looking for something to take up time, its worth a watch! Its a classic!

Ohoooo nastyyyy~ :D

We had some steam buns in our Melbourne video. I'm sure they don't compare to what you had, but those were pretty good as well!

Simon and Martina 😊❤️🌈

Thank you for the lovely comment!

Nadine SilverSparrow 😂

Heather McC yeah but what about elevenses? 😲

Ha! Actually it was made from the same bun but it was a bit rubbery 🐙

Simon and Martina ah okay! I was wondering how they could do cute decorations on something that's savory haha

It's probably rubbery because they have to mix it longer to add the coloring

xD the rooster was so cute

Pizzaman = pizzaiolo or delivery people?

Those little pizza buns they were eating! :) 🍕

Mostly food poisoning

They have steamed buns similar to the chicken and curry ones in Hawaiian 7-11s (called manapuas). :)

Well all convenience stores in Japan pretty much have the same quality more or less.
