Prepared Foods at Costco- Nikuman

 In a recent trip to Costco, Ken saw they sold Nikuman.  Nikuman are a Japanese dish.  They are steamed buns and have some kind of meat in the center.  We ate nikuman occasionally in Japan.  Ken loved them on his first mission to Japan as a young man.  They would stop at a small grocery store and get the warm, delicious buns on cold days for lunch. They were in every little store, stored in a glass, moist warmer.  That is true today as well.  They are in every convenience store. These had barbecued chicken in the center.  They were good.  We steamed them in our rice cooker for a few minutes.  It was fun to revisit Japan while eating these delicious little sandwiches for lunch.
