Check out our definitive guide to the best gyoza 2021 had to offer — just make sure you’re not hungry first!
This gyoza with a flaky croissant crust is so sought after it took a year for our order to arrive.
We go on a post-midnight gyoza run to a shop with no staff — all part of our new normal in Japan.
This glittering culinary creation is designed to bring luck to purchasers of Japan’s Dream Jumbo Lottery tickets!
Every area in Japan has its own local delicacies. As a long-time resident of Shizuoka Prefecture, I can tell you one of the best things my area has to offer is Hamamatsu-style gyoza, or pot stickers.
You can find all kinds of places offering up this delicious dish inside or outside the prefecture, but this is the first time we’ve ever seen it get a miniature makeover. How do these tiny dumplings measure up to the real thing? Let’s find out!
