I stopped by for dinner on my way back from a business trip and just wanted to share some photos. I had the "Large Serving Set (800 yen)" at Miyoshi-no-san after a long time, and both the gyoza and curry were as delicious as ever. I was very satisfied.

Today I went to Tomakomai for work. I felt like having Miyoshi's curry and gyoza after a long time, so I visited the restaurant. I ordered the Miyoshi Set (spicy) for 680 yen, which is cheap. I have been a frequent customer since my student days. Thank you for the meal.

This time, I didn't have much time, so I went to "Miyoshino Tomakomai Akino Store." I remembered it as a fast and affordable place, so even though it was lunchtime, I entered without hesitation. When you want to eat something that is filling but reasonably priced and quickly, this place is perfect! I didn't have enough and ended up eating half of my wife's portion too... #Tomakomai City Akino Shinmachi #Miyoshino Tomakomai Akino Store #Gyoza Curry #No smoking throughout.

In the past, I used to think that the restaurant Miyoshino was only in Tomakomai. When I was fishing at the port in Tomakomai, I saw a big, eye-catching sign on a street near the coast that said "Gyoza and Curry?" I found the combination strange. It didn't take long for me to learn that this was a "Sapporo soul food." I tried the set that included both gyoza and curry, and I was oddly convinced that the gyoza went well with the curry. The gyoza was modest and not as assertive as those from other famous places. It was my first time entering the restaurant with the sign I saw long ago. Sometimes I crave it, so I popped in. They also had Tomakomai specialties like Hokkai curry and Hokkai ramen, but I decided to stick to my original plan and had the gyoza and curry set. "Hmm, delicious!" I can't praise it too much, but I'll probably be back to eat it again in about three months.

In January 2023, the Hokkaido local chain restaurant known for dumplings and curry, "Miyoshino" Tomakomai Akeno branch, offers a new dish called "Hokki Curry" for 610 yen. The price is reasonable and it comes with four pieces of Hokki shellfish. The texture of the Hokki is good and it pairs well with the spicy curry. It's no surprise that it's from Miyoshino in Tomakomai! It's a shame that they used to have a branch in Muroran as well...

In November 2022, revisiting: In my previous review, I wrote that this was the "most frequently visited store in the Miyoshi chain," but since they stopped being open 24 hours, it has been downgraded to a "store rarely used in the local Miyoshi area" (laughs). With a 10 am opening time, there are several competitors within the nearby Aeon mall, and a new Miyoshi store opened in the area, so when I feel like eating gyoza, I tend to go there instead. So, this time when I came to Tomakomai, I had a strong craving for "gyoza curry" and decided to visit. "Gyoza curry" is a staple menu item at Miyoshi, embodying the combination of gyoza and curry. The menu consists of curry topped with three gyoza, but since three gyoza is a bit unsatisfying, I usually opt for the "Miyoshi set" which includes curry and a separate order of gyoza. However, this time, I decided to go for the "Toku Miyoshi Mori Curry" after a long time. I've had it at another Miyoshi location in the past, but this menu consists of a large serving of curry topped with six gyoza and a half-cooked egg, making it a slightly unconventional choice within Miyoshi. Originally, there is no option for a large serving of curry, as it quickly becomes a "jumbo curry" with the standard portion. Therefore, it's hard to determine how much of a deal it is compared to ordering each item separately. The combination of curry, six gyoza, and a half-cooked egg costs an additional 20 yen, so it's like paying 20 yen for a larger serving of rice. It may indeed be a good deal, but for me as an older gentleman, a large serving of rice with six gyoza is a bit too much, and I would prefer sticking to the "Miyoshi set" at most.

I had pork chops, limited to 5 servings a day. The taste was average, but the meat was surprisingly tender for its thickness. However, it was difficult to cut with a dull knife. The price was 1,400 yen, double my usual lunch budget. I was tempted by the limited availability, but my overall impression was just "it was good."

Gyoza Curry Spicy 530 yen. It's been a while since I last visited "Miyoshi," known as the soul food of the locals. They offer unlimited servings of Fukujin pickles in a large container, which is a nice service. The soft gyoza is comforting. After finishing the meal, I slightly regretted not getting the "Miyoshi Set" with separate servings of gyoza and curry.

For lunch on this day, I went to Tomakomai. It was my day off, so I was driving thinking of going to a hot spring or something. I found "Miyoshi" along the way! I vaguely remembered seeing it on a TV show or something, but it was my first visit. It was a little past 11 o'clock, and there were no other customers. The restaurant was spacious and clean. I was about to order the Gyoza set on the top left at the entrance, but then I remembered seeing curry and gyoza combination on TV, so I ordered the "Large Set (870 yen)" and was given a number tag to wait for a while. The water was self-service. I was surprised when a bottle of fukujinzuke (pickled vegetables) came with the meal. The gyoza was hot and delicious, freshly made! It was a nostalgic taste. The curry seemed to have melted ingredients. It was delicious to dip the gyoza in the curry. The combination of curry and gyoza with rice was excellent! It wouldn't be strange to have ramen on a day like this... Thank you for the meal.

There isn't a perfect set available. It would be nice to have a set that includes: no rice (or just a small amount), lots of gyoza, curry, and no need for miso soup. It's strange that gyoza is typically offered in sets of 3, 6, or 9 pieces (multiples of 3). It would be great to have options like 10, 15, or 20 pieces to choose from. The current set options are: Miyoshi Set for ¥590 (curry and 6 gyoza) and Large Gyoza for ¥360 (9 gyoza), totaling ¥950 for 15 gyoza. (-｡-;

A bit late for dinner, I happened to come across this place with a spacious parking lot making it easy to park. You order at the counter and then choose your seat while you wait. I ordered the gyoza set meal. It took about 10 minutes for the food to be served. The taste was consistent with the usual Miyoshi style. The gyoza had thin skin, which is great when you want a lot of them. They are open late too. Another satisfying meal today.

While Otto was getting his hair cut at Plage, I took the opportunity to dash over to the nearby Miyoshino and ordered 6 dumplings. They were so delicious! By the time I finished eating and waiting a bit, Otto's haircut was already done. Miyoshino's dumplings are truly a gem of Hokkaido! The fact that you can enjoy such delicious dumplings for under 300 yen is amazing. The salty cabbage that comes with it also makes me happy as it feels like I'm getting some vegetables in. I like to have lots of ice in my drinks, so the fact that Miyoshino allows you to put in as much ice as you want is also great. Thank you for the meal!

On Fridays, it's curry day. I remembered that Miyoshi serves curry, so I walked a little from AEON Mall Tomakomai and entered Miyoshi around 4:00 PM. I ordered the Miyoshi set (560 yen) and paid with WAON. The curry arrived in about 5 minutes. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Sometimes you just crave "Miyoshi's Gyoza"... This time it's curry! Huh? Limited-time Hokki Curry??? But the visual in the photo doesn't look promising... Oh well, that's Tomakomai for you (laughs). The curry... I went for the mild option (laughs). It's neither good nor bad. The gyoza!! Safe and tasty. That's important. The pickled vegetables! Isn't it a bit too salty? Despite everything, I'm satisfied for now... That's the Miyoshi magic, right?

"Miyoshino" has 20 stores in Sapporo and 5 stores in the surrounding areas. It's a favorite among Sapporo citizens! Today, I had lunch at the Akino store in Tomakomai, not in Sapporo. I wonder what "Miyoshino" means to the people of Tomakomai? The "Miyoshino Set" for 560 yen includes curry rice, 6 dumplings, and pickles. The combination of curry rice and dumplings may not seem appealing at first, but it's a unique offering that you don't see often outside of Hokkaido. To me, the curry and dumplings at "Miyoshino" are not the best, but sometimes I just crave them. They are affordable, filling, and decently tasty, making them a popular choice among young people and office workers!

Wow, I'm so hungry! I thought of going to Miyoshino, but when I got there, I realized it was closed. I saw that the new business hours are from 10:00 to 2:00 the next day. So, I had to give up on having breakfast at 9:00. The morning set is also canceled. But the sign still says it's open 24 hours, so I'm sure there are people like me who will come by mistake. Everyone, be careful! So, I went back another day to eat. While my companion was getting their hair cut at Plage, I quickly slipped out to eat and returned without being noticed (laughs). I made it just in time and didn't get caught (laughs). Ah, the feeling of happiness for just over 200 yen each time. I love Miyoshino, the best gyoza chain. It was delicious as always. And the message "New pickles, feel free to ask for it" is so kind! This time too, for just a little over 200 yen, in about 15 minutes, I had a happy time. Thank you for the meal!

I love eating dumplings regularly. Recently, I learned from a review by Ninisuke-san that Miyoshino's pork miso soup has boiled eggs in it, so I was eager to try it. I ordered the pork miso soup set without hesitation when I found out that it was also available at the Tomakomai branch. However, Ninisuke-san's review was not very positive, and I have to agree. In conclusion, I did not find it delicious. The standard ingredients like pork, daikon radish, carrots, onions, burdock root, and konjac were a bit too crunchy, the burdock root lacked flavor, and it was unusual for there to be no potatoes. The soup had a hint of dashi flavor but the miso was too light and sweet, lacking the richness and depth from the thick pork belly fat. Overall, it felt bland and unappetizing. The boiled egg was also on the hard side, not blending well with the soup. I'm not sure if the preparation of the pork miso soup is done at each individual store or at a central kitchen, but personally, I believe that enhancing the richness of the pork fat, the depth of potatoes, the aroma of burdock root, and the sharpness of ginger would result in a better flavor. While the dumplings were satisfying and delicious for their price, I felt a bit let down by the pork miso soup this time. Note: The availability and quality of pork miso soup may vary by store.

I think it was located at the edge of Numano. I remember eating there about 10 years ago. I went through the drive-thru! The bento and curry from Miyoshi were both delicious! I moved my car to the pick-up window, paid, and as soon as I did... ( ﾟдﾟ)ﾎﾟｶｰﾝ they handed me the food! Zero wait time! Amazing, right? The curry wasn't actually spicy though (^^;) Miyoshi bento for 540 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v

I usually have a proper breakfast, but today I had a reason not to. By the time it was past 11 o'clock, I was quite hungry... I couldn't decide between beef tongue or dumplings for lunch, but the strong desire to eat led me to "Miyoshino". I arrived with Hoil Spin & Drift, realizing it had been years since my last visit. Looking at the menu, I found a menu called "Jumbo" next to the basic menu of 6 dumplings for 480 yen! I looked the staff in the eye and without hesitation, I said "Jumbo!". Jumbo Set Meal 810 yen (tax included) Wow! Great! A dynamic 3 servings of dumplings, 18 pieces! The appearance was refreshing! Eating the "Miyoshino dumplings" again, I found them to be simple and easy to eat, with a gentle flavor in both the skin and filling. They were juicy and hot, without making me feel unsatisfied. The rice was served in a large portion by default, about 300g, but this time it was a bit mushy. The miso soup, which can often feel bland in this type of chain restaurant, was decent. While silently exclaiming "It's so delicious when you dip it in the sauce!" in my mind, I picked up a dumpling covered in sauce and rice. But still, it doesn't sound as catchy as other companies' catchphrases (laughs). But picking up a whole dumpling and taking a big bite with rice, I remembered my twenties, and it was nice to eat like this once in a while. By the time I reached the 13th dumpling, my stomach started to feel a bit tight... I added more vinegar to the sauce for a change of taste! With the hint of "It's so delicious!" in mind, I finished eating without realizing it. My stomach felt heavy, but I was satisfied thinking "I ate it". However, I think I'm not the only one who wishes there was an option for 12 dumplings as a middle ground. In this day and age... eating well boosts immunity!

I had breakfast (or rather a combination of breakfast and lunch) at Miyoshi one day. I mistakenly thought it was a revisit, but since I hadn't posted about it, maybe it was my first visit? Confusing! I had: - Shumai set meal for 431 yen - Almond jelly for 83 yen - Hot coffee as part of the morning service for 80 yen I have photos of the Mapo Tofu set meal and the Shumai set meal, so I probably had the Shumai set meal. I usually have the Miyoshi set meal with dumplings and curry, but this time I tried the breakfast menu with three options available from 5am to 11am. I love shumai, so the Shumai set meal was a good choice, even though it was small and cheap. There was also a limited-time Mapo Tofu set meal back then (which is still available now), which I think my friend had. Either way, it was cheap and delicious. The restaurant is open 24 hours, which is convenient. I remember being lured in by a coupon that came with a flyer. Thank you for the meal!

When it comes to ramen and gyoza in Hokkaido, Miyoshi is so famous! I think it recently opened in Tomakomai! I went there and was impressed by the system where you order and pay at the register. The curry and gyoza arrived quickly, and they were simple but delicious. The gyoza had a nice juicy filling, and I can see why families love coming here!
