Hokkaido Milk Buns by Just Buns

Decoding the allure of Japanese milk buns

Instagram really wants us to make our own Japanese milk buns from scratch. But before you can undertake this ambitious DIY task, consider sampling from an expert batch first? Kolkata label Just Buns is serving artisanal Hokkaido milk cream buns which can be delivered to your doorsteps within 24 hours. The Hokkaido milk bread is a fluffy, airy bread that originated in the Hokkaido region of Japan and it’s known for its mildly sweet notes.

“I think we could hit a sweet spot with its taste and texture. Customers like the airy feel of it. The fact that it is the right amount of sweet, and has a generous amount of stuffing, also help. Besides, only the best quality ingredients go into making the buns, so it doesn't feel doughy,” says Satadeep from Just Buns.
