Founded in 1926 in Yokohama Chinatown-one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns-Koseiwa began as a shop specializing in Chinese ingredients. Today, it is known as a takeout-only store famous for its “Original Shark Fin Bun,” created in 1996 under the concept of “premium Chinese cuisine you can enjoy while walking.”

The shop offers hot items such as Chinese buns, chimaki, and soup dumplings, with limited-time seasonal items appearing throughout the year. Its signature product, the “Original Shark Fin Bun,” is a luxurious delicacy packed with collagen-rich shark fin kneaded generously into a savory pork filling. The aroma and soft, silky texture of the shark fin make it irresistible. Other easy-to-enjoy shark fin dishes include “Golden Shark Fin Soup” and “Shark Fin Soup Dumplings.”

Many of the items sold here are also available chilled or frozen, making the shop an excellent place to pick up souvenirs.

  • The filling is packed with shark fin, and the texture is really firm. The broth is rich and flavorful—you don't even need to add any extra sauce. It's tasty enough on its own.
