Number 14: Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Slime Nikuman

Although sold out at most FamilyMart stores I was fortunate enough to find a small family of Slimes in Ayase. I bought 4...so contributed a little to the problem people have had in finding them. Sorry.

The Slime Nikuman has been created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Dragon Quest games, and is available for a limited time at FamilyMart stores across Japan.

For those of you who don't know Nikuman, it's a steamed bun containing meat popular in Asian countries.

This particular Nikuman is delicious and very juicy. The meat is better than most I have had and is packed tightly within the blue steamed slime-bun. The bun itself is very soft and easy to eat without the chewy, jaw-ache, texture of some other convenience store brands.

I would definitely recommend this Nikuman to anyone. But be fast, they are limited.
