Has been a hit particularly with MrLapLap who was craving more as soon as we finished that initial batch.

It is in Japanese but everything important to know has an English label, it is extremely simple to follow.
Obviously done to defeat the international plot involving hot dog / roll imbalance. My wiener of choice comes in a 7 pack and apparently in Japan it’s a 5 pack. Either way, the hot dog roll makers sell only in 8 packs, forcing you to buy an excess of a product that has no other use. Bravo!
I skipped around a bit, but they look simple enough. I love the texture of those buns, or at least the apparent texture.
