Japanese style Sausage Rolls

I don't know what to call it in English, but it is called Sausage rolls in Japan. I live in New Zealand, of cause, Sausage rolls is puff pastry stuffed with mince. I think it is common in US, UK and ...wherever.

It is similar with hot dogs that is kind of sandwich served with grilled sausage. 

This sausage rolls that bread dough is tied around sausage, and baked in oven together.

It is sold at bakery in Japan. I used to eat a lot when I was kid.

It is nice when it is hot. I reheat it before I eat.
