Saturday around 17:00 2 people
Two of the four seats at the counter were open, so I was able to sit there.
1 drink 1 food per person
Main dish is gyoza
・Vegetable gyoza
・Shiso gyoza
・Niku gyoza
・Rum coriander gyoza
・Chicken wing gyoza
1 type of limited gyoza (every month)
・Winter melon dumplings with dried shrimp (watermelon dumplings)

I ended up getting all kinds lol

It was delicious, but each flavor could have been a little stronger.
In particular, I wanted more of the shiso dumplings' ``shiso feeling'' and the winter melon gyoza's ``dried shrimp feeling.''

The chicken wing gyoza was crispy on the outside and delicious.

The meat dumplings were probably filled with crunchy bamboo shoots, and the texture was good, contrasting well with the well-cooked and chewy meat.
The limited edition green chili pepper dumplings have just the right amount of spiciness. Next time I want to try vegetable gyoza.
I was tired after drinking a lot, so I'd like to take my time from now on.

It is a compact shop run by the master himself. The gyoza filled with bean paste are carefully prepared and all delicious. The potato shochu ``gyoza'' mixed with soda was also delicious. Recommended for a quick drink.
