Invented by Ningyocho shop Itakuraya back in 1907 and a fixture on the Tokyo street snack scene ever since, ningyo-yaki are bean paste-filled buns moulded into humorous shapes such as the Seven Lucky Gods of Japanese mythology. They're additive-free, relatively figure-friendly – as long as you don't go overboard – and best eaten hot off the iron.
