Approximately 170,000 units per day, with a commitment to same-day production and same-day sales.
Horai's pork buns are made by artisans who wrap each one by hand, and the basic principle is "same-day production, same-day sales," with everything made and sold on the same day. Each bun weighs about 130g, making them substantial and satisfying.
A harmony of sweet dough and juicy filling
Tender, sweet dough envelops bite-sized pieces of pork and onion. The meat becomes juicier with every bite, releasing its delicious juices. The classic Osaka style is to serve it with mustard and a vinegar-soy sauce dipping sauce.
Founded in 1945, the name's origin is "telephone number."
Founded in 1945 (Showa 20), Hourai's difficult kanji led them to adopt the last three digits of their phone number, "551," as their store name to make it easily memorable with universally recognized numbers. This is how "551 Horai" began. You can purchase them starting at 460 yen (tax included) for a pack of two.
