I went to the Misono store to eat the Pork Chop set menu, but it was sold out, so I ordered the Mild Hokki Curry with gyoza instead. It was my first time trying Hokki Curry and I liked the texture. I think I will eat it about once every 5 times.

I was working late and decided to stop by Miyoshi, my favorite soul food restaurant on my way home. I saw a sign for a limited 5 meals only pork chop set meal near the entrance, so I asked if they had any left, thinking they would be sold out by 10pm. Surprisingly, they still had some available. I didn't have high expectations for the taste, but it turned out to be really delicious and the meat was tender. If you're curious, give it a try! They might have it even at 10pm.

I stormed in at 3:30 in the morning. You order at the counter right after entering, then take your money and choose your seat. I was hungry, so I ordered the "gyoza set meal + 1 extra gyoza". Of course, I asked for 2 extra gyoza. They were already starting to clean up in the kitchen... Maybe they close at 4... Soon after, my order arrived. The dumplings had a fluffy skin with a nice crispy exterior, and the filling was juicy. The rice was a bit on the firm side though. I devoured it in about 10 minutes, partly because I was so hungry. It seems like the cooking time varies depending on the location. Personally, I prefer them a bit more crispy.

"I ordered the usual large serving set at Miyoshi after the Toyohiragawa fireworks festival and was completely satisfied with the usual deliciousness (°▽°). However, the restaurant was hot and I ended up sweating a lot, so I wish they had adjusted the air conditioning a bit more (;´∀｀)"

A gyoza chain restaurant in Hokkaido offers a set meal for just 550 yen, which is incredibly cheap. The small size of the gyoza is great. The pickled cabbage side dish is a nice touch. Perfect for when you're feeling a little hungry! Next time, I want to try their hearty curry as well.

At the entrance, you order and pay at the cashier, receive a number tag, and place it on your table to wait. I had the Miyoshi Set for 660 yen. While Miyoshi Curry is also good, the Miyoshi Gyoza in the set is freshly grilled, unlike the pre-cooked ones in the Miyoshi Curry. I ordered the spicy curry and added extra spicy spices. It's nice that you can enjoy the gyoza with rice, gyoza with curry, and the option for a spicy kick. After eating, you clean up your own table. (December 2022)

After drinking with my friends, we decided to walk along Route 36 instead of taking a taxi. We ended up craving ramen, so we walked all the way to the Miyoshi Beauty Garden store (lol). It had been a while since I last visited, and I forgot how good the ramen was. Unfortunately, they stopped serving ramen after 9 PM (tears). So, I had to settle for curry with gyoza toppings instead. Well, it's still Sapporo's soul food curry, right!!

Revisited with a certainty of 20%, at the crossroads of National Route 36 and the Circular Avenue, stood "Miyoshino," the soul food of Sapporo people. Back in the day when I was working part-time in Susukino, I managed to survive on their surprising curry for just 200 yen. With those memories in mind, I decided to stop by, although the prices had been revised to fit the modern era. I wasn't particularly hungry, but my humble stomach chose the curry and gyoza set. The gyoza with its chewy texture dipped in tangy sauce brought back nostalgic feelings. The curry, a reliable classic, reminded me of Yamada Udon in Saitama. It was so nostalgic that I might just visit again. 《Strong Points》 - Consistent unchanged taste - Spacious and clean interior reminiscent of a family restaurant 《Improvement Points》 - It might be nice to have some menu variations

Originating from Sapporo, Hokkaido, the restaurant "Miyoshino" is famous for its "Gyoza Curry," where gyoza is topped on curry rice. The current chairman's father opened a popular diner called "Miyoshino" in the early Taisho era in Tanukikoji, which was long beloved as a confectionery shop. In May 1967, a gyoza specialty store called "Miyoshino 3rd Street Store" was opened near Tanukikoji in Sapporo, which was rare at the time. The official website states that this year was the founding year. In 1977, they started selling the new product "Miyoshino Curry" (originally called Surprise Curry) and the now famous menu item "Gyoza Curry." At that time, advertisements described the combination of curry and gyoza as having a good compatibility like curry and Fukujinzuke. As of December 2022, when I checked the official website, there are a total of 26 stores in Sapporo, Tomakomai, Chitose, Eniwa, and Asahikawa. According to the official website of the operating company "Ten Food Service," "Miyoshino" was franchised at some point, but all stores seem to have been directly managed now. In addition to Miyoshino, they also opened a new concept called "Soba Restaurant Shinshu-an" in 2004. Although not updated on the official website, they also opened "Soba Restaurant Miyoshino Naiebo" in 2020 and took over the business of "Original Takikawa Hanajiri Genghis Khan" in August 2022 to open a store in Sapporo. A franchise of Hakodate's "Jyujiya Coffee Shop" also opened in Sapporo. This time, I visited the "Miyoshino Misono Store" in Toyohira-ku, Sapporo, for the first time to try the "Gyoza Curry." This store opened in October 2011. Each store has different business hours, so I chose a store that is open 24 hours because I planned to go at 5 am on a weekday. Only the Misono Store and Kiyota Store were open 24 hours. On this Thursday morning, I arrived at the store around 5:20 am, and I was the only customer at that time. There are no menu photos, but a list is available on the official website. They offer gyoza set meals, gyoza and curry sets, various toppings for curry rice, and a ramen (available from 11 am to 9 pm) limited to the Misono Store. This time, I ordered the "Gyoza Curry"! [Gyoza Curry] 530 yen (tax included) The curry uses milk, onions, carrots, and chicken, seasoned with fragrant spices, and the feature is that the curry roux contains finely chopped ingredients for a rich flavor. The gyoza is made by wrapping a filling of fresh vegetables, eggs, plenty of meat, and secret spices in an extremely thin skin. The curry is sweet, spicy, mellow, and has a spicy aftertaste. The gyoza has a slightly soft texture, and the flavor of garlic and chives is unique to gyoza, but surprisingly, it does not interfere with the curry, and the umami of the meat is a perfect match. It was delicious, with gyoza topping on curry! However, since the curry was already poured over, the taste of the gyoza itself was not very noticeable, so next time, I would like to order a ramen and gyoza set. Thank you for the meal!

When I went to Sapporo, I couldn't resist stopping by Miyoshi, and this time I finished shopping in Susukino and visited the beauty garden store. The gyoza, with the delicious flavor of meat and cabbage instead of chives or garlic, is irresistible. The curry is simple, but it goes well with the gyoza. I wish Miyoshi would open in Tokyo too! Thank you for the meal.

If you want to eat a hearty meal of curry rice and dumplings, then you must go to "Miyoshino" where your cravings will definitely be satisfied! Even with just one dish♪ 【Jumbo Gyoza Curry (Spicy)】 for 800 yen A combination of two servings of curry rice and six dumplings, this handsome curry is just to my liking♡ Sprinkle plenty of spicy spices on top... and halfway through eating, add more for an extra kick! Both my heart and stomach were satisfied at "Miyoshino"!♪

Yes. Today is Saturday, yet I mysteriously have work from noon. What's the intention behind this? So, before heading to work, shall we grab a meal that can serve as both breakfast and lunch? I will get off at the Meison Subway Station on my commute and head to the surface from exit 2. Then, I will walk towards National Route 36 along the circular road on the left. Oh, the signboard of the ramen shop, which was like one of the "Top 3 disappointing spots in Japan" with a new owner, has been beautifully updated. It has changed from a faded blue signboard to a red one with black letters. Shall we check out what has changed next time? Well, most of the shops around the Meison Subway Station seem to be hastily put together, but the Sichuan cuisine restaurant... must be spicy... So, today I visited the "Sapporo Citizen Soul Food," which comes up as the top result when you search "gyoza and curry" on Google. The soba noodle shop on the way is a related store. Sometimes I just crave their gyoza or Yamakoya's soy sauce ramen (laughs). The entrance of this store is actually on the opposite side of the National Route, right? I ended up wandering around looking for it. There is a character named "Poppusubouya," who is from the Gyozahoshi and mysteriously remains 10 years old forever, born in 1967, in front of the entrance (laughs). Well, the local Hachiken store also has a parking lot on a slightly awkward position, not near the entrance. The ordering method here is similar to the Hachiken store, where you order at the counter, pay in cash, receive a number tag, and then choose your seat. Somehow the interior here looks similar to the Hachiken store, but this store should have been established first. So, what made me do it, I usually eat the "gyoza set" or the "Miyoshino set," but shall we try the store-exclusive ramen set today? Well, even though I had delicious soy sauce ramen yesterday... I ordered the "Salt Ramen Set for 860 yen" (laughs). The set includes ramen, gyoza, rice, and pickles. I received the number tag, took a seat at the counter, drank some water, and waited. The water was lukewarm, even though it was supposed to be cold... I quickly went to put some ice in it. Since then, I've had a strange feeling... The "Salt Ramen Set" arrived in just 4 minutes today. Was it always this fast? The ramen comes with shrimp-flavored and rich soy sauce dipping sauce on the tray, but does the salt ramen only have pepper? The salt ramen has a clear soup with loosely curled thin noodles, and the toppings are menma, two slices of pork belly chashu, a little green onion, and very simple. The rest includes the usual gyoza, rice, and pickles. I took a bite of the salt ramen...? It has no flavor? Did they forget to put in the salt sauce? Well, the gyoza is fluffy and delicious as always, and the rice is freshly cooked, but... and the pickles have a strange flavor too... What's going on? There's only pepper for flavor change. Even if I mix a little bit of the gyoza sauce on the ramen... it still doesn't taste right... I noticed that the color of the soup has become like that of soy sauce ramen. But it's not soy sauce, it's the gyoza sauce. I started to feel a strange sweetness. Is this now a "gyoza sauce-flavored ramen"? Well, thanks for the meal.

Today, I was debating on what to eat for lunch and decided to go to Miyoshino. Initially, I was planning to have curry and gyoza after a long time. But as soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I found myself strangely drawn to the salt ramen set on the menu. I know that ramen at places like this should probably be avoided, and it's likely to be cheap cafeteria-style ramen. But for some reason, I ended up ordering the salt ramen set instead of curry. And I even went for the pork belly noodle set that was over 1000 yen. However, surprisingly, the ramen was not bad - it was decent without being exceptional. The noodles were thin and the broth was a light chicken flavor. The pork belly was also surprisingly tender and easy to eat. With 6 gyoza and rice included, all for just a little over 1000 yen, it wasn't a bad lunch option. And as always, the pickled cabbage served as a palate cleanser was delicious! In the end, I was satisfied. The gyoza at Miyoshino never disappoints - it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I always crave the gyoza and curry rice from Miyoshi on a regular basis. Even though it was during the breakfast set serving time, I decided to order the Miyoshi set for 560 yen. After paying at the counter near the entrance, I was given a number tag. They bring the food to you when it's ready, but you return the tag to the designated area after finishing your meal. I added some spicy powder to the spicy curry and enjoyed the gyoza with rice. I also tried putting the gyoza into the curry for a different flavor. The Miyoshi set is definitely the best choice. (May 2021)

"Miyoshino" has 20 stores in Sapporo and 5 stores in the surrounding areas. It is known as the soul food of Sapporo residents! The Miyoshino set includes curry rice, 6 dumplings, and pickles for 560 yen. The combination of curry rice and dumplings may seem unusual, but it is not commonly offered in restaurants outside of Hokkaido. However, Sapporo residents have no problem with it, like the golden couple Kimura Takuya and Kudo Shizuka! Personally, I don't think the curry or dumplings at Miyoshino are outstandingly delicious, but sometimes I just crave them. They are cheap, filling, and decently tasty. It's a great choice for young people and office workers!

I decided to try a different restaurant for a change and came to Misono. I was torn between getting curry, but ended up ordering the "shumai set meal + 1 gyoza" for 670 yen as usual. Of course, I got 2 new pickles as well. This place had a system where you order at the counter as soon as you enter, pay at the counter, grab a table with a stand, and sit down. It felt quite refreshing. The shumai was "perfectly steamed and nicely arranged." The gyoza had a "slightly strong sear, which I liked. The crispy sear, chewy skin, and juicy filling were great." The rice was "a bit firm, maybe kept warm for too long." The miso soup was "a bit thin and lukewarm." It's surprising to see such a difference in steaming and searing depending on the store. I wonder if it was just a one-time thing or if I should revisit on a different day and time. When you finish eating, you return your tray yourself, which is not a big deal, but the ordering and paying process can be rushed during peak hours, causing some people to feel pressured. If someone is struggling to decide, they might end up waiting in line.

I can't eat a large portion of gyoza set on weekdays, so on weekends I can enjoy it without worry! I've been eating at Miyoshi's gyoza for over 40 years, and I always crave it. It's my soul food. I devoured a total of 15 gyoza.

-Gyoza curry for 470 yen -Miyoshi set meal for 560 yen They have increased the prices. The curry sauce portion has decreased, and the gyoza is now pre-cooked and placed on a square plate before pouring the sauce on top. Since COVID, it is clear that they have more staff, likely to reduce costs and save time. Overall, I would rate this visit a -0.8 compared to my previous experience. I won't be coming back here again, so this rating should be sufficient.

- Date: 2020/10/19/MON - Location: Miyoshino Misono Store - Ordered: Miyoshino Large Set for 753 yen - Review: Headed to play golf in Kitahiroshima area! But before that, stopped by Miyoshino for a meal to fill up my stomach in the morning (^-^)v Popsubouya welcomed me in a mask. It's been a while since I had something other than ramen before a round! Ordered the Miyoshino Large Set! Got a number tag, sat at a table, waited for about 15 minutes, and it was served. Bam! This is the beloved food of Hokkaido residents. Other prefectures may not understand this deliciousness. The curry, simmered until the ingredients lose their shape, has a slightly sweet taste and a gradual spiciness that follows is just perfect. And then I devoured the gyoza with the curry! The large set was gone in no time. I really love Miyoshino. Thank you for the meal! (*˘╰╯˘)ゞ

On Wednesday, September 30th, in Sapporo, a city known for its soul food, I tried The Miyoshi, which is famous for its gyoza. I have never tried their gyoza because I cannot eat gyoza without drinking beer, haha. The curry had a nice kick of spices and was delicious.
