Boil water in a pot and add a splash of cooking wine and two bay leaves to eliminate seafood odor.

Once the water is boiling, add the lobster and cook for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the lobster.

Remove the lobster from the pot and let it cool.

Chop the celery into small pieces.

Cut the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces, ensuring not to chop too small or too large.

In a bowl, mix the chopped lobster meat with the chopped celery, a small amount of seasoning, and about 3 tablespoons of Japanese mayonnaise.

Optionally, add lemon juice to taste if desired, but it's not necessary if you don't like it.

Refrigerate the lobster mixture for about 30 minutes to chill it.

Melt butter in a skillet and toast the hot dog buns until golden brown on both sides.

Fill each toasted bun with the lobster mixture.
