The main branch of an established restaurant synonymous with Utsunomiya gyoza. Their dumplings feature thin skins wrapped around filling packed with vegetables, and with just three varieties—grilled, boiled, and fried—they maintain a refreshing simplicity that anyone can enjoy with ease. Located right next to Futarasan Shrine, it's also the perfect starting point for your city walk.
Tips
The menu is refreshingly simple with only three types: grilled, boiled, and fried. Lines are almost guaranteed, so arriving 30 minutes before opening is safe. For sharing with children, order extra grilled dumplings and pair them with rice.
Best time to visit
Allow 45 minutes. Right after opening or after 2 PM, there are fewer lines.
