After work, my colleague and I went out for a drink, and I really wanted to eat some gyoza today! They kindly agreed to my request and we came to this restaurant. It's in a station building and has a nice atmosphere, but it's a bit on the pricey side, especially for a station building. Sorry for being picky, but as a cost-conscious salaryman, I have to point that out. The gyoza here is delicious. I think we had pork, leek, and miso gyoza, and it was really tasty. We ended up eating three servings of gyoza. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I wanted to go to CIMA in the third building, but it was crowded, so I visited here for the third time. It was busy today. I had 4 plates of gyoza for 380 yen each and 1 glass of sudachi shochu highball for 480 yen, totaling 2,200 yen before tax. It felt expensive, so I left. The counter was full of girls.

Located right at the corner just below the second basement floor of the Umeda First Building. There are a few table seats in the front and a counter in the back. It was crowded around 6 pm on Saturday. The green pepper miso and harami skewers are served on a plate after being taken off the skewers. The cheese dumplings have a nice aroma of baked cheese, with pink pepper sprinkled on top. It seemed like a flavor that women would enjoy. Thank you for the meal.

The underground stall Gyoza restaurant in Nishi-Umeda is a well-known and highly regarded establishment. The food is consistently delicious and beautifully presented. The must-try items include the suzume (sparrow) sour flavor, tamago harami skewers, gyoza with cucumber, and the classic gyoza. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 🍡🥟🥒👍

Food stall dumplings at Osaka Station Front Building No. 1! The dumpling radar has been activated! Just by looking at the exterior of this place, I knew it would be delicious! They use pork from Nagasaki for the dumplings, and it seems they make them without garlic, so I was curious to see what they would taste like! When they arrived, the crispy sear on them was shining like GACKT or YOSHIKI! I picked one up to try it out. The dumplings were not sticking together and the skin didn't break! This was amazing!!! And as expected, the sear was crispy and crunchy! Alright, time to eat! Delicious!!! The rich flavor of the pork is strong with just the right amount of fat in the filling, making it easy to eat! But the crispy sear and crunchy texture are truly unique! It has a slight spiciness and goes well with beer! The best part is that they cook it with sesame oil! The aroma of the sesame oil when you take a bite is irresistible!!! There are three ways to eat it - 1. with sudachi (Japanese citrus) only, 2. with sudachi and salt, 3. with soy sauce or chili oil. Of these, eating it with sudachi and salt was refreshing and delicious! But it's also tasty on its own! And then there's the plum and shiso dumplings! These are so good with plenty of shiso! Your mouth will be filled with the fragrance of shiso! Oh, I've found another dumpling that I love! Thank you for the meal! Food stall dumplings! No doubt about it!!!

Today, I visited the station building again after a long time. The standing bar I was aiming for was full, so I decided to revisit this restaurant I had in mind as my second choice. I sat at a table near the entrance and toasted with a draft beer. It's great to see my friend looking lively as always. It seems like it's their first time here. - Grilled Gyoza (418 yen including tax) - Plum and Shiso Gyoza (528 yen including tax) - Delicious Napa Cabbage Kimchi (330 yen including tax) These gyoza are made without garlic. I also enjoy gyoza with lots of garlic, but I found these garlic-free gyoza to be delicious as well. The gyoza arrived shortly after ordering, perfectly crispy on the outside. The juicy and hot filling disappeared quickly along with my beer, so I decided to order more. The Plum and Shiso Gyoza added a refreshing touch to the already delicious gyoza. It's not often that one thinks of combining gyoza with plum and shiso, but it turned out to be quite tasty. I was satisfied with the delicious gyoza after a long time! Thank you for the meal.

Gyoza can taste different depending on the ingredients and how they are wrapped, but I think the most important thing is how they are cooked. There is a gyoza stall located in the basement of a building, run by a chef who used to work at Umenoyu in Shinsaibashi for about 7 years. All the dishes are cheap but well-prepared. The gyoza made with Nagasaki Yoshiju pork is delicious with a hint of sweetness and no unpleasant smell. It has a rich flavor that almost feels like butter. The best part is the crispy skin and juicy meat inside. It's best to eat it at the stall, but you can also take it home. However, having the chef cook it for you is much better than cooking it yourself. I always order the regular gyoza and the gyoza with ume (plum) and shiso (perilla) at the stall. The shiso flavor goes really well with the pork. Don't forget to order the pesticide-free pickled ginger. I also like to have a seasoned soft-boiled egg for protein, and sometimes I order the harami skewers or the rurouhan for a hearty meal. The strong flavor of the pork and spices in the rurouhan goes well with the soft-boiled egg. The menu is not very extensive, but there are many recommended dishes, making it hard to choose.

I arrived around 18:30 and was greeted by a friendly owner who showed me to a counter seat. I had made a reservation but the restaurant was quite empty at that time. By 19:00, more people started coming in and within 30 minutes, it was fully packed! Good thing I made a reservation haha. As for the dishes I ordered: - Grilled Gyoza (photo shows 2 servings) - Ume Shiso Gyoza (forgot to take a photo) - Simmered Egg (forgot to take a photo) - Pickled Ginger (forgot to take a photo) - Pork Belly with Green Onion Oil (forgot to take a photo) - Lu Rou Fan (shown in the 2nd photo) Honestly, the taste of everything was just amazing! I couldn't stop saying "delicious!" The Grilled Gyoza is a must-order, and the Ume Shiso Gyoza below it is also highly recommended! There are recommended ways to eat the gyoza written on paper, so try eating them that way! Honestly, every way of eating them is delicious and goes perfectly with drinks. The Simmered Egg was perfectly half-boiled with just the right amount of salt, making it a great pairing with beer! The Pickled Ginger, marinated in soy sauce, had just the right amount of spiciness and saltiness, making it another great companion for drinks. The Pork Belly with Green Onion Oil was a replacement dish as they were out of roasted pork loin, but it was definitely a great choice! The combination of the green onion oil and the accompanying gochujang sauce was pure happiness in your mouth! Lastly, the Lu Rou Fan was a must-try. It was so delicious that I could come back just for this dish alone! The taste was so good that I could easily finish three bowls without any problem. Overall, I think this restaurant is a no-fail, must-visit place where everything you order is delicious! I definitely want to come back again! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited a dumpling restaurant located at the back of the first building. I had pan-fried gyoza, plum and shiso gyoza, pickled cucumbers, steamed pork with green onion oil, and simmered harami skewers. The dumplings were delicious, but the steamed pork was exceptional! It went really well with beer!! The staff was also lovely, I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal!!

Three men were out for a drink and passing by a second restaurant, they were drawn in by the lively atmosphere and enticing menu. The owner personally welcomed them, making it impossible for them not to enter! They ordered grilled dumplings, roasted chicken thigh, simmered harami skewers, miso meat stuffed bell peppers, and highballs. The tender chicken thigh, juicy harami, crispy bell peppers, and flavorful miso were all delicious. The grilled dumplings were a standout, with a crispy exterior and a smooth texture inside. The filling, despite not containing garlic, was full of flavor. Whether with ponzu sauce, ponzu sauce with salt, or vinegar and pepper, each flavor combination was delicious. The taste, menu, owner's hospitality - this might be my favorite restaurant in the fiercely competitive gyoza district of Kita-Shinchi!

Recommended dumpling restaurant ★★★ Dumplings made with "Nagasaki Yoshisugu pork," a brand known for its safety, quality, and high standards. These dumplings are enjoyed with vinegar and without garlic. Located on the 2nd floor underground in the corner of the 1st building near the pachinko parlor. The juicy dumplings are irresistible. The balance of the not-too-heavy meat juice and vinegar is excellent. The owner, Yamachan, really knows how to cook them deliciously. These are not your typical heavy and greasy dumplings, but rather elegant and high-quality. They are incredibly delicious. The pesticide-free pickled ginger is also delicious. I will definitely come back for more. I wonder if they will share the recipe (laughs). The standing-style seating has now added chairs, making it convenient for those tired from work or for a casual drink. I used it as my second stop this time. Oh no, I forgot to order the flavored egg!

After leaving Shin-ya, the next stop was this restaurant. I suddenly felt like eating their gyoza after a long time. We entered right at 5:00 when they opened, and customers started coming in one after another. First, a second toast with a draft beer (＾∀＾) We quickly ordered our food before the other customers. ◼️Pan-fried gyoza (380 yen) ◼️Plum and shiso gyoza (480 yen) ◼️Simmered egg (180 yen) ◼️Pickled cucumber (300 yen) The pan-fried gyoza here is known for not using garlic. Some people might find it lacking in flavor, but I personally enjoy this taste of gyoza. It was crispy and delicious, perfect for a second stop with beer flowing (＾∀＾) Let's order some more. The plum and shiso gyoza was also delicious. It had a refreshing taste with plenty of plum paste and large shiso leaves. The side dishes here are also tasty. The simmered egg was creamy and well-seasoned, making it a perfect beer snack. The pickled cucumber had just the right amount of pickling. I was satisfied with the freshly cooked gyoza after a long time! Thank you for the meal.

☆彡 If you're a gyoza lover from Osaka, you must know "Hosho Buta." They use Hosho Buta, a special SPF pork from Nagasaki that is not available in markets, to make gyoza. They have a special focus on garlic-free gyoza, which is popular among female customers for its light taste. The restaurant opens at 5pm, and I always make sure to be one of the first ones there. As I wait for my evening reservation, I use it as a warm-up exercise. I always order two servings of their pan-fried gyoza (6 pieces per serving for 380 yen). You can't see them being cooked, but you can imagine the level of doneness by the sound. The smell of sesame oil fills the air as the moisture is removed from the iron plate. Come to think of it, the gyoza in Kitashinchi was also finished with sesame oil. The skin is not too thin or too thick, just the right thickness overall. The sesame oil in the finish makes the gyoza shiny. Surprisingly, despite the shiny appearance, it doesn't feel greasy when you eat it. The initial oil is absorbed by the skin, and the right amount of moisture remains on the surface of the skin, creating a crispy texture. The filling is garlic-free, so it feels light, but surprisingly, it doesn't need sauce. The flavorful filling, combined with the richness of Hosho Buta, is delicious. It's rare to find such delicious gyoza without garlic. The strong flavor of Hosho Buta pairs well with a sauce made of equal parts soy sauce, vinegar, and sudachi vinegar. However, just sudachi vinegar alone can also complement the richness of Hosho Buta and taste great. The gyoza may seem oily, but it's actually easy to eat and light. As time passes, more female customers start to come in. The gyoza is popular among women because it's light and easy to eat. In addition to gyoza, you can also enjoy dishes made with Hosho Buta.

After starting the engine at Ginza-ya, I headed to this dumpling restaurant located in the same building on B2F. This is also a revisit. About half of the seats are already taken by other customers. I sat at the counter and ordered a draft beer. It's nice that the beer mug is frosty cold! I ordered the following: - Grilled dumplings (380 yen) - Cucumber pickles (280 yen) While waiting for my order, I snacked on the pickles. They were well soaked and delicious. When the dumplings were ready, I first tried them with a squeeze of sudachi. The juicy and flavorful pork filling was amazing. Although it was quite fatty, washing it down with beer made it even more delicious! So I ordered another beer, which was also frosty cold! Just then, my phone was running out of battery. I asked the owner if I could use my laptop to charge it, and he kindly lent me the charger for the shop's iPad. It was very helpful. Thank you very much! And that's it for the meal!

I had some time, so I came back for revenge here! The reliable Yoshiju pork gyoza - as always delicious! And my partner surprised me with a unique twist, cheese topping (lol) which was also tasty! But for me, simple gyoza is the best. I got nicely drunk, so I headed home from here that day. Thank you for the meal.

Recently, I have been strangely intrigued by a certain individual. This individual goes by the name of Gyoza. I decided to visit a good restaurant in the underground corridor of my beloved Osaka Station Building, and on my way back from a certain errand, I jumped off at Umeda Stenchi and hurriedly made my way down the edges of the building. The real retro world that tickles the hearts of those who have a Showa nostalgia. I always walk absentmindedly, reminiscing about the past, and my heart always dances. Just when I was about to give up on my wandering, I saw the words "Gyoza specialty store" in a corner of the First Building. Overjoyed at this wonderful encounter, I entered the store as if being drawn in by a ray of hope. I ordered pan-fried gyoza, pan-fried cheese gyoza, and draft beer. The pan-fried gyoza came with a note advising to eat it with only vinegar and citrus. I obediently followed the instructions. It was somewhat lighter than when eating xiaolongbao with black vinegar only, but a bit too bland for my taste. Next, the note suggested mixing equal amounts of vinegar, citrus, and soy sauce to eat the gyoza. This was just right for me, a lover of fermented seasoning. Yes, delicious. Next was the pan-fried cheese gyoza. Topped with pink peppercorns and dried parsley, it was beautifully golden brown and retained the richness of the cheese while adding a pleasant freshness. Truly a perfect match. I added another glass of dry beer. Intrigued, I also added the plum and shiso gyoza. The plum and shiso were imagined to be kneaded into the filling, but they were actually visible on top of the gyoza. After the pan-fried and cheese gyoza, the plum and shiso gyoza was a clever move. The acidity and saltiness of the plum, along with the chopped shiso, delivered a fresh breeze. Indeed, when kneaded in, the balance changes, and the fresh breeze does not blow. Despite being a one-man operation, the owner was very friendly and efficient. Ah, what a pleasant atmosphere. Before I knew it, the restaurant was full. Having finished my meal, I carried the two words of "return visit" in my heart and once again slipped through the curtain, searching for a partner for my next kiss.

It was raining from the morning on this day. I had decided to take shelter from the rain on my way home if it was still raining, and as it continued to rain, I decided to take shelter at a building near the station where I didn't need an umbrella. I arrived at the shop around 5 pm. The shop is located on the 2nd basement floor of Osaka Station Front Building No. 1, near Nishi-Umeda Station. It is a standing bar style shop with a main counter. There were no other customers, so I sat at the counter alone. The owner recommended a surprising set to me, which is available from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm - Highball + grilled gyoza + harami skewer + seasoned egg for 760 yen! Excluding tax, but still, to get change from 1000 yen was amazing. Of course, I ordered that set. It was a very satisfying set that could be completed with just that. However, the rain intensified as I took shelter, making the rain even heavier. This place seems like a good spot for a pre-drinking session. Thank you for the meal. <4:30 pm - 7:00 pm Limited Set> Excluding tax 760 yen - Highball ○ Harami skewer... Harami with a meaty texture like doteyaki. The slightly sweet seasoning makes it easy to drink with alcohol. - Seasoned egg... A half-boiled seasoned egg with a runny yolk. - Grilled gyoza... First, try it with sudachi vinegar. The gyoza is crispy on the outside, with juicy meat inside. Enjoy it with sudachi vinegar + pepper, then add soy sauce, and finally add chili oil for more flavor variations.

Cucumber pickles 280 yen, grilled dumplings 380 yen x 2, plum and shiso dumplings 480 yen, roast pork 480 yen, draft beer (medium) 380 yen x 2, standing style dining, I was the only customer, despite the state of emergency. They have started delivery service with DiDi. I want to support them.
