So, this is Square-Enix’s 25th anniversary of their long-running game, Dragon Quest. So, what do they plan to do to celebrate this event? Collaborate with the Japanese convience store chain Family Mart and release for a limited (and I mean limited) time, slime shaped steamed pork buns.
These were incredibly hard to come by (or at least for me they were). These went on sale for five days (11/29-12/3), and when they were hot and ready for sale, they were sold out in hours, if not minutes.
I heard that they sold so much so quickly, that they sold the buns for two days (which days depended on the store), and limited to two per person.
I went to four Family Marts only to find sold out signs at all of them. Luckily, one of my co-workers went to the store early enough to spot them, and got one for me. Taste is the same as a regular pork bun, but the looks were all what it was about.
