"Gyoza New Fushimi", a gyoza specialty restaurant opens!

"Gyoza New Fushimi" is a sister store of "Gyoza Mania", a gyoza specialty restaurant that was selected as a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

The signature dish is the exquisite gyoza, which is made by kneading the dough and filling the dough after receiving an order. The owner has faithfully reproduced the taste he fell in love with in Beijing, China. He learned the basics of how to make these dumplings from local people and created his own original recipe.

This time, we will give a thorough report on everything from the signature gyoza to the Nagoya limited menu!

Look for the yellow signboard and lanterns!

The location is conveniently located, about a 1-minute walk from the Fushimi Underground Shopping Street exit of the Fushimi Municipal Subway Station. It's easy to stop by on your way home from work.

The concept of the restaurant is a Chinese food stall. You will feel as if you have taken a little trip to China. The restaurant has 53 seats and a terrace with 9 seats, so on a fine day, it is nice to have a drink while feeling the night breeze.

The secret to its popularity lies in the “freshly wrapped”!

The secret to their popularity is the “freshly wrapped” dumplings, which are made by stretching the skin after receiving an order. The home-made skins that have been aged are used separately for grilled gyoza and boiled gyoza. The sight of craftsmen cooking in an open kitchen will further enhance your travel mood.

First of all, this! Freshly wrapped, freshly baked "yaki gyoza"

Yaki gyoza (vegetable) 8 pieces ¥750 (excluding tax)

If you visit Gyoza New Fushimi, this is the dish to start! There are two types of baked gyoza: vegetable and meat.

We started with vegetables recommended by the staff. The freshly wrapped dumplings have a chewy skin! You don't even need to put anything on the dumplings, as the umami flavor spreads through your mouth. The crispy, chewy homemade skin is a perfect match with the sweetness of the vegetables. You can eat as many as you want.

Yaki gyoza (meat) 4 pieces ¥390 (excluding tax)

Next, we tried the meat filling. The umami flavor is even more intense than that of the vegetable filling! The filling is not greasy at all, even though it is filled with a lot of meat. It is a perfect marriage when paired with Taiwanese beer. Personally, I recommend the meat filling to go with beer or Shaoxing wine!

“Boiled dumplings” with chewy and plump texture is addictive

Boiled dumplings (perilla) 4 ¥ 390 (excluding tax) The moment you bite into it, the scent of perilla spreads throughout your mouth.

Boiled gyoza (shrimp) 4 ¥420 (tax not included) Luxurious gyoza with plenty of shrimp.

Boiled gyoza (green pepper) 4 pieces ¥400 (excluding tax)

There are 4 types of boiled gyoza: shrimp, coriander, perilla, and green pepper. Homemade skins for boiled dumplings are used.

Especially impressive were the bell pepper dumplings. Green peppers in dumplings? We tried it and found that the crunchy texture of the green pepper matched the glutinous texture of the homemade skin! The slight bitterness is also an accent. It is said to be a taste of home in China.

Only available in Nagoya! Soupless Tantan Boiled Gyoza

[Nagoya Limited] Soupless Tantan Boiled Gyoza 4 pieces 420 yen (excluding tax)

There is also a limited menu that can only be eaten in Nagoya! "Soupless tantan boiled gyoza" is full of sweet and salty minced meat and Chinese chives. It's not as spicy as it looks, so even people who don't like spicy food can enjoy it.

Not just gyoza! Featured Products

Chinese street food taste! Yaki Reimen

Yaki Reimen 520 yen (excluding tax)

The charm of "Gyoza New Fushimi" is that although it is a gyoza specialty store, it has a wide variety of menus other than gyoza.

First of all, "Yaki Reimen" (baked cold noodles) recommended by the staff. First of all, I was surprised by the visual that is completely different from Japanese cold noodles. Yaki Reimen is a sheet of cold noodles wrapped in egg and baked. 
It has salty-sweet sauce. When you take a bite, you'll notice the chewy texture unique to that cold noodle. Strangely enough, we couldn't stop eating it.

The homemade sauce will whet your appetite! "Yodaredori"
