One month before going to this restaurant, I went to a daikon and porcini oden shop next to the building where girls were going up the stairs. Looking up at the sign, I thought, "Oh, this is the restaurant I heard about!" The stylish sign didn't stand out, giving it a secret hideaway vibe. And it definitely looked delicious. I had some free time that day, so I wanted to go before it got crowded. I made a reservation and visited. When I climbed the stairs, I entered a very atmospheric restaurant with a counter and box seats. I love this kind of place. Now, time to order. I came here because I wanted to try the oyster, spinach, and cheese gyoza! ◆Oyster, spinach, cheese pan-fried gyoza 880 yen with kiwi and white balsamic sauce ◆Game meat, beets, sun-dried tomato pan-fried gyoza 660 yen ◆Italian orange wine 950 yen ◆Tramoga Rueda Verdejo 600 yen ◆Homemade spicy oil sauce yakisoba 1000 yen with onsen tamago (soft-boiled egg) For the appetizer, I had a soup with maitake mushrooms. It was delicious. The recommended orange wine was great, dry and just to my liking. The oyster, spinach, and cheese gyoza I came for were served with kiwi and balsamic sauce, creating a complex and balanced taste. It was so delicious. Each dish had its own unique taste without overpowering, all wonderful. Still wanting to try more gyoza, I ordered the game meat and beet gyoza. The balance with the beets was fantastic! I had another glass of white, dry wine. The gyoza here is well-researched and very tasty. I checked their website and found cake-shaped shumai, so I ordered it, realizing it's from a famous shop in Miyano Mori. The owner is amazing. For the finale, even though I wasn't very hungry, I ordered the yakisoba, which is usually served at lunch. They kindly offered a half-size portion, which was a nice touch. I ordered the half portion. I don't know the price (laughs). They brought out a powder-like cheese. It was their homemade spicy oil powder! I sprinkled it on and tried it. The rich and spicy sauce with the cabbage slaw was perfect. The powder spicy oil did a great job. The yakisoba was comforting with the soft-boiled egg. A satisfying and delicious meal. Thank you very much. A restaurant I want to visit again as a treat for myself. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The level is extremely high! Stylish and delicious dishes. Had a kaiseki Japanese meal for lunch and came here for a lighter meal in the evening (stuffed from lunch). Stayed at a hotel in Susukino and planned to have seafood bowl the next morning, so wanted something light for dinner. Found this place with good reviews on YouTube. [What I ate] Kobe beef and parmesan cheese dumplings Peach and tomato salad Tuna with truffle oil Avocado tartare White liver pate Western-style mixed rice [What I drank] Sapporo Classic beer White wine Dessert wine Total was around 8,500 yen for two people. Everything was delicious, would love to visit regularly if they were in Tokyo. Sushi, seafood bowl, and Genghis Khan were all good, but this place might have been the best!

It felt like a hidden gem, with a calm and cozy atmosphere. The dishes were served promptly and were delicious. The appetizers were tasty and the presentation of the dishes was stylish and Instagram-worthy. The flavors were a bit mature, maybe a bit too early for my taste, haha.

Visited the restaurant on Saturday at noon. Made a reservation but there was plenty of availability even without one. This was my third visit and I really like it. It was my second time having lunch there. I ordered: - Grilled beef tongue and Kujo green onion dumplings - Lamb and arugula dumplings - Blue cheese and walnut soy sauce yakisoba - Snow crab spring rolls - Oolong tea - Jasmine tea The total came to around 3600 yen. The grilled beef tongue and Kujo green onion dumplings were packed with filling and very satisfying. The lamb dumplings were stylish and not too strong in flavor. The yakisoba was more like pasta, very fashionable and a taste you can only get here. I will definitely come back. The spring rolls were creamy like crab croquettes, very delicious.

This was my first visit. I found out about this restaurant through a previous visit to an Italian restaurant in the same group, and decided to go with a friend this time. There were about 6 types of dumplings, all of which were delicious. There were also many dishes on the menu, all of which were tasty, and the wine was good too. Thank you for the meal.

The entrance is quietly tucked away in a back alley off the main street. The atmosphere is inviting from the entrance. I ordered the dumplings since it's the specialty of the house. They were delicious! In addition to the dumplings, the tuna marinated in truffle oil and the finale of the mixed rice were also top-notch. The mixed rice had a similar feel to a risotto. It's like a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, or perhaps a Chinese bistro. There are counter seats and table seats available. Credit cards are accepted. Non-smoking.

I stopped by for a light meal before meeting up, and it's been a while since I last visited. It was quiet at this early hour. The dumplings here are a bit unique and fancy. They go well with wine. The prices are reasonable, starting from 500 yen. For those who want a hearty meal, they also have substantial menu options besides dumplings. There is a counter seating available, so it's great for dining alone. I definitely want to go back again.

"Gyoza and wine, with a filling of fruit peel and stuffing. Homemade spicy oil sauce yakisoba with onsen tamago - ¥750. A popular gyoza restaurant with a concept of pairing with wine, using Italian and French techniques. They use homemade dough made with Hokkaido-grown haruyutaka, filled with meat, fish, and vegetables gathered from various regions of Hokkaido. They are particular about using Hokkaido-produced ingredients and seasonings, without any chemical seasonings or garlic, so you can enjoy the natural flavors of the ingredients. I visited 'Gyoza and wine, fruit peel and stuffing' for lunch to satisfy my craving for their yakisoba. They use homemade noodles made from a blend of two types of Hokkaido wheat aged for several days, giving the yakisoba a chewy texture with a hint of spiciness from the sesame oil, creating a sophisticated flavor."

As a fan of dumplings, I really want to try the dumplings made by the chef! I climbed the narrow staircase and arrived at the restaurant for the first time. It was almost empty due to the pandemic, which was good for preventing infection. I couldn't decide what to order because the dumpling menu was so extensive. In the end, I ordered dumplings with various fillings like Erimo, scallop, beef tongue, and game meat, as well as grilled xiaolongbao with grated yam and ponzu sauce, and snow crab and karasumi spring rolls. For side dishes, I ordered marinated sardines, potato salad, sweet potato tempura, and spicy oil sauce yakisoba as a finale. The appetizer dish with fresh seafood was delicious, and the presentation of the dumplings was wonderful. The skin was tasty and each dumpling had a unique punch to it. The xiaolongbao with ponzu sauce was interesting, and the crab spring rolls had a crispy skin. The rumored spicy yakisoba was just the right amount of spicy and seemed to be cooked for spice lovers. I'm thinking of bringing my female friends here next time.

I went on a Monday night. I arrived at exactly 7:00 PM. I climbed the stairs, passed through two doors, and entered the restaurant. There were two middle-aged men drinking at a table in front of me. Since I didn't have a reservation, I was seated at the counter. It was a restaurant known for its dumplings and wine. There were about 6 or 7 seats at the counter and 4 or 5 tables. It was about half full. A female staff member told me to order all the dishes at once. I started with a Sapporo Classic beer (600 yen). You could choose different drinks as well. I ordered the following dishes: Grilled dumplings with kombu, ginger, and black pork from Ebetsu (4 pieces for 500 yen), Grilled dumplings with oysters, spinach, cheese, kiwi, and white balsamic sauce (4 pieces for 880 yen), Water dumplings with lamb, watercress, and homemade sauce (4 pieces for 660 yen), Spring roll with snow crab, Americaine sauce, and karasumi (400 yen), Assorted pickled vegetables with salt koji (500 yen). The pickles were average. The dishes took some time to be served, but since I ordered them all at once, they came together. They were all mediocre. The flavors seemed mixed and the taste of the ingredients was not distinct. When my glass was empty, the staff quickly came to take my drink order. I ordered wines in order: Gamay Shiraz (France) for 650 yen, Trivento (Romania) for 680 yen, Bacco in Toscana (Italy) for 780 yen. I didn't know those wines. Overall, they were just okay. It was a 2-hour time limit, and since we ordered everything at once, the turnover seemed good. I left after 1 hour. There were 6 of us. Thank you for the meal.

5 minutes walk from Subway Nishi 11-chome Station. The shop is located on the 2nd floor of a mixed-use building. Please climb the narrow stairs. It is a small shop with counter seats and table seats. It has a Japanese-modern atmosphere. I visited for an early lunch on Saturday. There were already 6 customers. I ordered the homemade spicy oil sauce yakisoba with onsen tamago for 750 yen. First, I tried the yakisoba on its own. The homemade mild and flavorful spicy oil sauce lives up to its name. It blends well with the hot thick noodles. Next, I tried it with finely shredded cabbage. The combination of spicy oil sauce and light cabbage, warm and cold, creates a deep flavor in the mouth. Adding the onsen tamago enhances the synergy of flavors. You can encounter various flavors depending on how you eat it. Truly a masterpiece that foodies will enjoy.

I went to this restaurant on a day when I was in the mood for dumplings. The restaurant is located in the 8th block of Tanuki Koji, called "Gyoza and Wine Kaki to An" Once you pass through the noren at the top of the stairs, there is a door at the entrance. When it comes to dumplings, you might think of beer, but this place, Kaki to An, is all about dumplings and wine. Of course, they also have beer, but the drink menu is quite extensive with a variety of wines from France, Italy, Spain, in red, white, rose, orange, and sparkling. They also have highballs and non-alcoholic drinks. Moreover, the highballs and non-alcoholic drinks are all original with homemade jams and unique herbal teas. The food includes dumplings, as well as other items like shumai. They use their own homemade dough made from Hokkaido wheat, filled with Hokkaido meat, seafood, and other ingredients. The menu is full of exciting options that show their dedication to quality. The Rosemary Flavored Ginger Lemonade was my choice for the day, as I always enjoy their non-alcoholic drinks. Their homemade drinks and original herbal teas are quite enjoyable. The Rosemary, ginger, and lemon with fruit pulp added made for a fresh and delightful drink. It pairs well with a meal. The Kabocha squash salad was a delightful surprise with various ingredients and a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. The Gyoza with game meat, beets, and dried tomatoes had a unique flavor that surprisingly was light and went well with wine. The Lamb, coriander, and spicy oil dumplings had a punchy flavor that was addictive, especially for cilantro lovers. The combination of flavors with the chewy skin was outstanding. The Edamame with sansho pepper was a unique and refreshing twist on a familiar dish, perfect for pairing with alcohol. The Takikawa duck and cartilage shumai with burdock and sansho pepper was a delightful surprise with its texture and flavors. The Blue Cheese and Honey dip with sweet potato fries was irresistible and addictive, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The Western-style mixed rice with homemade chicken chashu and mountain wasabi tamago was a satisfying end to the meal, with tender chashu and creamy tamago. The mountain wasabi added a subtle kick to the dish. Overall, each dish was delicious and full of unique flavors. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy some creative and tasty dishes.

Blue cheese and walnut miso yakisoba - Black pork and ginger gyoza for 1150 yen. This is a draft release, so please confirm the latest information. It was a creative dish using yakisoba noodles like pasta. The taste was similar to carbonara. It also comes with soup. It has a more stylish feel than regular yakisoba. Since I'm more used to eating pasta, I did feel a slight difference with the yakisoba noodles, but it was still delicious. Yakisoba noodles tend to be softer, so if you prefer softer noodles, you may enjoy this dish. However, if you prefer al dente, you may want to try other dishes. The gyoza was a cute size, perfect for a light lunch. There's nothing particularly noteworthy, but it was nice to try an interesting creative dish. Thank you for the meal!

I finished my errands early, so I decided to enter the restaurant as soon as it opened. However, I was surprised to see the curtain hanging the wrong way. I opened the door and was greeted with a friendly "Please come in." I was intrigued by the blue cheese and walnut miso soy sauce yakisoba, but I also thought the dumplings looked good. I ordered a small size of yakisoba and some dumplings. The yakisoba arrived quickly and had thick, chewy noodles with a pasta-like texture. It was delicious! The cheese didn't overpower the dish and paired perfectly with the Japanese flavors. The cabbage was a bit wilted, but that's understandable given the season. The dumplings had a chewy skin and were a great deal at 300 yen for three pieces. However, I underestimated the portion size and found the small yakisoba to be insufficient. I could have gone for the regular size with dumplings. It's a shame that the restaurant has a cafeteria-like atmosphere, as it doesn't do justice to the food. I paid at my table and when I stepped outside, I realized the curtain was still hanging the wrong way. I wondered if the restaurant was even open since no other customers had arrived.

I visited the restaurant during the early afternoon on a regular day, as I was nearby for work and had been curious about their lunch menu. The place was bustling with customers at the tables, but there was no wait so I was seated right away! I had been wanting to try their yakisoba for a while, so I ordered the homemade spicy sesame oil sauce yakisoba for ¥750. However, I also wanted to try the gyoza, so I had my companion order the gyoza set meal. First, the yakisoba! The thick and chewy noodles, combined with the spicy numbing sauce, created a flavorful dish. Mixing in the cabbage and green onions as garnish completed the taste. Personally, I found it to be a portion and flavor that made me crave for rice, so I ordered an extra serving. The scallop and mountain vegetable gyoza were both delicious, with a good balance of filling and wrapper. Overall, the gyoza was really tasty!

It's been quite a while since my visit... Recently (April 2022), it seems that this restaurant has become very popular, even participating in Hokkaido exhibitions at department stores in the Kanto region. When I was in Sapporo, I was looking for a place where I could drink wine that wasn't a wine bar, French, or Italian restaurant, and that's when I came across this place. Unfortunately, when I tried to visit during lunchtime, they were closed, so this time I made a reservation and visited in the evening. The menu mainly focuses on unique dumplings, with a mix of Japanese, Chinese, and other international cuisines. Since I was dining alone, I couldn't try many dishes, so I recommend visiting with a group to fully enjoy the experience.

Arrived around 12 PM on a regular day. There was one group of customers already there, as well as one individual, and another group arrived after me. The restaurant is located between Odori and Nishi 11-chome subway stations, along Nishi 7-chome street. The entrance and sign are small and not very noticeable, so I actually missed it at first (laughs). Climbed the stairs to the 2nd floor. The interior has a modern and calm atmosphere with a touch of traditional Japanese style. The walls are adorned with cute paintings of the Seven Lucky Gods. The place gets plenty of sunlight. Besides the young male owner, there was one female staff member. I heard that the owner is originally from Italy. The background music was jazz. This time, I ordered the "Seasonal Recommendation" dish, which was the "Taiwanese Spice Curry Champon Ramen with Ninejo Negi and Young Chicken Confit" (900 yen). It's quite a mouthful (laughs). It was a bit hard to figure out, but apparently "Ma Gao" is the name of the Taiwanese spice used. The staff kindly offered me a magazine while waiting for my order, saying "It will be ready soon." It arrived about 15 minutes later, following the order of the customer before me. They also brought a separate plate with lemon, spices, and a bottle of chili oil. The soup was indeed a curry champon, but the rich and unique flavor that spread in my mouth was absolutely delicious!!! Although I usually prefer medium spiciness, the level of spiciness in this dish felt just right with such a flavorful taste. The hand-made thick noodles were chewy and tasty. The young chicken confit (cooked in oil at low temperature) had a perfect amount of saltiness and was delicious. Along with the Ninejo Negi and crunchy cabbage, there was also celery mentioned on the menu, but I think it was actually spinach, right? I was quite satisfied with the deliciousness of this dish. It was my first time trying this kind of curry champon, and the quality was truly impressive. I'll have to try the yakisoba and gyoza next time.

The first wine I ordered at the restaurant was organic, so I decided not to drink it! The yakisoba was not spicy but the small size was just right. The beef tongue dumplings were okay, but I prefer them without the beef tongue. The chicken cooked at low temperature was interesting and quite delicious. The egg over rice was tasty but expensive!

I was overwhelmed by the variety of gyoza options such as grilled gyoza, cheese gyoza, and Tokachi Toyonishi beef fried gyoza. In addition to wine, there are other drink options available. I tried a jam-infused highball out of curiosity, and it surprisingly wasn't too sweet, making it a perfect match for the meal! Wine and gyoza make a great combination. The staff's smiles and kindness were top-notch!

On Saturday for lunch, after a morning jog, I wanted to treat myself to a drink and some gyoza. I finally visited this place that I had been curious about for a while. The narrow staircase next to the barber shop led up to the stylish bar where jazz music was playing, creating a calming atmosphere. There were 10 seats at the L-shaped counter and 5 table seats. I arrived at 12:40 pm and was the only customer at the time, so I was seated at a table for two. The lunch menu consisted of yakisoba and gyoza. There were three types of yakisoba available, with creative flavors like ma-la oil, blue cheese, and oyster with kujo green onions. The gyoza set menu also had interesting options like "black pork with fresh ginger" and "scallops and mountain vegetables." The black pork with fresh ginger gyoza could also be ordered separately. I ordered the following: - Ma-la oil sauce yakisoba with soft-boiled egg: 750 yen - Black pork with fresh ginger grilled gyoza (3 pieces): 300 yen - Draft beer: 550 yen The dishes arrived in about 10 minutes. I started with the gyoza, which had a gentle sear on the thin skin that was soft and juicy. The meat juice burst out with a sweet flavor, and the filling had a wonderful combination of pork umami and refreshing ginger. The staff explained the condiments, which included vinegar with sansho pepper, soy sauce, and powdered chili oil. Dipping the gyoza in the vinegar with sansho pepper and powdered chili oil was a great experience, enhancing the flavor of the gyoza. The yakisoba had thick, chewy noodles coated in a spicy ma-la oil sauce that paired well with the crunchy texture of shredded cabbage. Breaking the soft-boiled egg over the noodles created a deliciously creamy finish. The combination of spicy noodles, crunchy cabbage, and runny egg was perfect, especially with a cold beer. Overall, the gyoza and yakisoba were delicious, and I would like to try other yakisoba flavors in the future. This place seems like a good spot for a casual drink in the evening as well. Thank you for the meal!

It took me about 5.6 minutes to walk west from Daiton Station. There was a shop on the second floor of a building up the stairs. At first, I didn't know where to go, but I found a sign while wandering around. Normally, I would go for beer, but since the shop's name included it, I decided to have wine instead. I ordered various types of dumplings, yakisoba, grilled mackerel, persimmon with cream cheese, and more. First, we had an appetizer of crispy fried shrimp paste with seaweed sauce, which was packed with the deliciousness of seafood. The attention to detail in the appetizer was promising. The dumplings were excellent, with the classic one having a strong ginger flavor, and the one made with beef tongue having a rich meaty taste. As expected from a place with "dumplings" in its name. Personally, I found the yakisoba to be very delicious. The chewy noodles had a unique spice flavor and a scent of sansho pepper, along with crunchy green onions, making it very tasty. Finally, we ordered egg over rice. The rich egg yolk and fluffy white egg were meticulously prepared, resulting in a delicious egg over rice. Each dish showed great attention to detail and was very delicious. It would be a joy to have this at home. Thank you for the meal.
