I was searching for the best places to enjoy a highball and found out they have Yamazaki, Hibiki, Hakushu, and Chita. When I went there, I found out they have a wide variety of dumplings, and they are all delicious. I especially liked the chicken wing dumplings and chicken skin dumplings. They also have a variety of highballs, including Taketsuru and Yamazaki 12 years. Of course, they also have the classic highball. It was great to drink and eat as much as I wanted for just a little over 5000 yen per person. I drank a lot of high-quality whiskey for a reasonable price. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant!

The restaurant was undergoing renovations, and when we asked when it would open, the owner, who also runs a gyoza shop, invited us in, saying they were open on Tuesdays for steamed dishes as well. We tried various gyoza dishes like regular gyoza, shiso gyoza, and pickled ginger gyoza, along with highballs, chu-hi, and shochu. We had a lively time and finished off with yakisoba. It had been a while since we took a taxi home.

The classic light garlic dumplings are indeed light, maybe because they have a lot of vegetables. I didn't really believe that the Red Hot Dumplings were really spicy, but they were actually spicy! It was a pleasant surprise for those who love spicy food. My friend ordered the potato salad, which was delicious and reminded me of my mom's cooking. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly, and I look forward to trying the dumpling hot pot next time.

I was curious about the Gyoza Chige, so I decided to visit. As someone who loves spicy food, I was pleased to see that they not only had shichimi, but also habanero available. I had a hard time deciding between noodles or zosui for the ending, but I chose noodles! I topped it with pork belly and the famous garlic tsukune. They also had a happy hour!!

A large group had a social gathering at the Izakaya Yoshitsune Sakai store under the Nankai Electric Railway. After that, two of us decided to go to a gyoza bar by the river for a second round. We ordered the recommended gyoza with plenty of garlic from Aomori, along with some edamame as a starter. The gyoza was delicious, with a strong garlic flavor and made with Aomori garlic and Inunaki pork. We also added some chicken Karaage to our order. We enjoyed a couple of highballs as well. It was getting late, so we decided to call it a night after just two drinks. Overall, it was a great experience, and we recommend coming earlier to fully enjoy the delicious gyoza. That's all for now, thank you for the meal!

I'm "Noronori," who mainly walks around eating lunch, mainly in Sakai. The location is the building where Indian restaurants Devi-san and Kamansa are located. I sat at a table with no guests. Since it's a dumpling sake bar, I thought I had to start with dumplings, so I ordered the dumpling set. You can choose between garlic and ginger for the dumplings, and I chose garlic. The dumplings were small but delicious. With a drink included, the price of 770 yen is quite reasonable. Thank you for the meal.

In October of the 4th year of Reiwa, during lunchtime (11:00-15:00), I had the Chicken Tenderloin Cheese Cutlet Set for 770 yen. It came with chicken tenderloin cheese cutlet, gyoza, spring rolls, rice, salad, soup, and a drink. The quality is decent for the price, and it's a tasty lunch set. You can choose a soft drink as your beverage, but the Calpis I chose this time was too diluted, which was disappointing. It's convenient for smokers that smoking is allowed even during lunchtime.

The original source is here ↓ https://ameblo.jp/fry2567/entry-12782241514.html Strolling around Sakai Station South Exit. There was a gyoza restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. I had tried to visit several times but was always disappointed due to COVID or temporary closures, but today it was open. The lunch deal was really good. However, on this day, I had already eaten lunch at home. I'll definitely come next time. Huh?? Could that back view be... even if it's not, gyoza and beer are always a good idea, so I decided to check it out. And so, I stormed into the gyoza bar called Mechakucha. The interior had 4 counter seats and 3 tables for 4 people. Sitting at the counter was Tocchan from the famous curry shop Ise near Sakai Station South Exit. We hadn't seen each other in a while as he doesn't come out to the shop due to the energetic mama not giving him a chance to come out during the day (laughs). First things first, a toast with a premium malt beer for 550 yen. I forgot to order the gyoza because we got carried away talking about Shimachan and other bloggers from the old YAHOO Blog days. The menu looked like this ↓ https://ameblo.jp/fry2567/entry-12782082730.html *Please note that this is the menu at the time of the visit. Prices may have changed. You have to make your own sauce here. I think there was a sesame sauce prepared from the beginning... I think... well, it's been a while since I went (laughs). Mentally defeated, it was actually the end of September. I had notes on the gyoza, but I forgot to write down the sauce... Anyway, I started with the standard garlic gyoza, 5 pieces for 380 yen (at the time of the visit). Gyoza and beer make a great picture, don't they? The gyoza was not overcooked or undercooked, just right. They were smaller than the ones at Osho but larger than those at local Chinese restaurants. Taking a bite, it was exactly what gyoza should be. The garlic aroma was just right, not too strong or too weak. The meat flavor was the star, with the vegetable flavor coming through as well, creating an excellent balance. This is really delicious!! As I was eating and talking, I saw them starting to wrap gyoza in front of me. It was for the evening preparation, and they kept wrapping one after another. Seeing that made me want to eat more. So, I ordered more!! One was the Red Hot Gyoza for 480 yen (at the time of the visit). It was advertised as a spicy gyoza with chili peppers. The color was a nice deep red, and you could see pieces of chili peppers here and there, which raised the excitement level. But usually, these kinds of gyoza are not that spicy. Well, the taste was undeniably delicious, so don't expect it to be too spicy... Oh!! It's quite spicy♪ The rich flavor of the filling was met with a sharp attack of capsaicin, creating a wonderful sensation. This is definitely recommended for those who love spicy food. It's addictive. The beer goes down smoothly. The other one was the Shiitake Gyoza for 400 yen (at the time of the visit). This exceeded my expectations. Instead of being filled with shiitake mushrooms, it was a surprising shiitake mushroom stuffed with meat. The idea of covering shiitake mushrooms with gyoza skin was unexpected (laughs). But not only was the appearance impressive, but the taste was also outstanding!! It was incredibly delicious. I couldn't stop drinking beer. In the end, the gyoza was so delicious that I ended up drinking too much beer in the afternoon, and the bill was quite high (laughs). But it's great for daytime drinking, the lunch prices are reasonable, so I highly recommend this gyoza restaurant. I will definitely revisit this place. I have to go in the evening for sure. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal~♪

I went to the Gyoza Sakaba Mecha Shoku Cha San! They had about 15 different types of gyoza, as well as a variety of other izakaya dishes. The Shiso Ume Gyoza had shiso and plum mixed into the filling, giving it a refreshing and delicious taste. The Cheese Gyoza was covered in rich cheese, perfect for cheese lovers. The Aomori Garlic Gyoza had a generous amount of garlic, making it a unique and flavorful dish. The chicken karaage was well-seasoned and very tasty, with a thin crispy coating that made it easy to eat. They also had a wide selection of drinks. The restaurant is open until 12 midnight, so I definitely want to go back!

It has been a while since my last visit. The entrance seems to have changed. I remember the owner mentioning a renovation, and now the place is spacious and bright (lol). I ordered two jumbo lemon sours for 780 yen each with a colleague. They were really huge (lol). The garlic gyoza for 380 yen is a must-have! You should eat this first before the strong garlic flavor overpowers everything else. It tasted really good, a classic deliciousness. We also had tomato slices for 380 yen to refresh our palates. The garlic gyoza for 480 yen was also delicious, but the red ginger gyoza for 450 yen might be the best. Maybe Osaka people really like red ginger (personal opinion). We ordered two more jumbo lemon sours for 780 yen each. Finally, we ordered a large yakisoba and ended up finishing two servings between the two of us without sharing. We paid a reasonable amount and left.

Sakai Station Gyoza Izakaya Meccha Shokucha The gyoza here is really delicious, made with plenty of garlic from Aomori Prefecture. The cold noodles and gyoza were amazing!

I visited for their 1st anniversary. I actually visited when they first opened, but this is my first post! The cost performance is a bit high, so my rating is ↓, but the service from the staff in the hall is impeccable!!

I came to Gyoza Sakaba Mechashoku Mekashou, located just a short walk from Nankai Sakai Station! There were so many types of gyoza, I was surprised! There were about 20 different kinds. I asked for recommendations and ordered the Aomori-produced garlic-packed gyoza, the shiso plum gyoza, and the shiitake mushroom gyoza. First, the shiso plum gyoza was refreshing and light, even suitable for lunch, with a strong plum flavor that matched well with the shiso. The shiitake mushroom gyoza looked unique, with the gyoza filling stuffed inside a shiitake mushroom and wrapped in a gyoza skin. The bottom of the skin was crispy, providing a nice texture, and the well-seasoned filling paired perfectly with the shiitake. And then, the Aomori-produced garlic-packed gyoza was exactly as the name suggests - it packed a powerful garlic punch. This was the first time I had gyoza with such a strong garlic flavor. There were many other menu items besides gyoza and drinks. This time, I only had gyoza and drinks, but I was very satisfied. I will come back next time to try different types of gyoza!
