Edosei Honten

Edosei Honten in Yokohama's Chinatown has been drawing crowds since 1945 with its signature jumbo Butaman, a steamed pork bun roughly the size of a softball and packed with juicy seasoned pork, shrimp, bamboo shoots, and vegetables. The bun weighs in at about 250 grams, nearly double the standard size, making it a substantial snack or light meal on its own. Lines form quickly on weekends, but the wait moves fast and eating the oversized bun while wandering through Chinatown is a quintessential Yokohama experience. They also offer seasonal variations including a spicy version and a shark fin bun, though the original remains the crowd favorite.
