Currently it is a take-out specialty store.
2024 100 Famous Gyoza Stores.
It was broadcast in Matsuko's unknown world and the store where Jimon Terakado refused to be interviewed.
Of course the gyoza is delicious. However, after 5 years of going here, I now buy more shumai than gyoza.
Shumai is so delicious! !
I ate a lot today with mustard paste. Try adding plenty of soy sauce or other sauces to suit your taste.
I've given it to many people and they always appreciate it.

I took it home!
Pre-cooked fried dumplings and shumai are also available for your convenience.
Contrary to their appearance, the skins of fried gyoza and shumai are not thick, making them light and delicious.
Personally, I think the steamed dumplings, which have chewy skin and are the opposite of fried dumplings, are very delicious and I highly recommend them!
I hope I can take it home again!
