Finally – uniman from Tsukiji

It’s been years since I first saw Pablo’s video, “TOP 10 Street Food You MUST Try in Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo” on Tokyo Zebra, and ever since, I’ve been intrigued by the elusive Uni bun he recommended.

Every time I visit Japan, I make a point to go to Tsukiji in hopes of finding this bun. Today, during my morning walk, I finally spotted it! They only sell 30 buns a day, so I felt incredibly lucky to get my hands on one.

Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but the taste makes it worthwhile. The balance of uni and cream is spot on—not too overwhelming, just a perfect, rich flavor for a hearty breakfast. A small indulgence worth the wait!
