Sekine: Steamed Nikuman and Shumai Near Sensoji in Asakusa
Sekine is a steamed-bun and shumai specialty shop near Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, reported to have started as a bakery in the Iriya area in 1921 before opening as an eatery in Asakusa in 1935. Its menu centers on nikuman (steamed pork buns) and shumai (open-topped steamed dumplings), both sold for takeout as well as eating in. Steamed pork buns are more closely associated with Kansai-region brands such as 551 Horai in most visitors' minds, so a long-running Tokyo specialty shop offers a useful counterpoint and a convenient snack stop for travelers exploring the streets around Sensoji.
