I had some time in Gotanda, so I looked for a place to visit. I found a specialty restaurant for Osaka-style gyoza. The gyoza here is filled with love and you have to order at least one plate per person. I felt a bit sorry for only ordering one plate as I had to move on, but if I had more time, I could have easily eaten multiple plates due to how light and delicious they were. This is what Osaka-style gyoza is all about. You can also add various toppings to the gyoza and they even have ramen as a finishing touch, so it's a great place to enjoy with friends and visit for a second or third time. It was a wonderful restaurant experience!

It was fun! I visited alone on a Saturday night after work. I started with a lemon sour, then ordered a bottle of Shaoxing wine and various dishes. Even with all that, the total bill came to 4950 yen, just under 5000 yen. The staff said, "We specialize in dumplings, so let's start with a complimentary pickled vegetable and one serving of dumplings." I ordered the popular crispy tripe and it was delicious. The dumplings were small but tasty. I ordered more dumplings with added shiso topping, and finished with a menchi-katsu with aurora sauce. When I asked for the bill, they gave me a Yoshiko sticker and Yoshiko gold candy as a service. There were many signatures on the counter. In the restroom, there were wise words from Yoshiko. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

I go there occasionally! The system of ordering gyoza instead of appetizers is very Osaka-like and feels good. The gyoza, just the right size for snacking, is so good that you'll find yourself ordering more without realizing it. I don't have a photo, but the fried rice here is truly amazing. If you go, you must try it!

I finished work early, so I went to a counter seat by myself to have a bottled beer and some gyoza. The bottled beer was a bit pricey at around 700 yen, but I decided to get a refill in a bottle as well. The draft beer was in the 500 yen range, served in a glass instead of a mug, so I might go for that next time. The counter had a relaxing atmosphere and was spacious enough for one person. As a tip, I recommend adding the chili oil little by little since it's spicy.

Yesterday, I failed the dumpling challenge so I decided to try again today. It's hotter today than yesterday, so I went to this restaurant near the station. The raw dumplings are delicious! The staff is also nice. The dumplings are really bite-sized, so even with 7 pieces, it's a bit unsatisfying for someone with a small appetite. So, I ordered an additional dish. The beef tendon simmered tofu had a quite sweet broth. Overall, I had a good impression and I would go again if I have the chance.

Today, for our second stop, we went to Osaka Gyoza Yoshiko, recommended by my partner. It was my first time visiting. We had already eaten a little at our first stop, so we had room in our stomachs. The gyoza here is small and easy to eat! We ended up eating three plates between the two of us, which is rare for us. The alcohol here is relatively inexpensive for Gotanda, and we were pleasantly surprised by the great value! This is a place that can be used for both a first stop and even a pre-drinks spot. We'll definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

My younger sister, nephew, son, and I, a total of four people, went to a restaurant that my sister, who loves alcohol, had made a reservation at. Before heading to karaoke, we decided to have a quick dinner. We started with some lightly pickled cabbage as a side dish. Then we had some small, crispy pan-fried dumplings with lots of vegetables, which we devoured quickly. We ordered an additional eight servings and finished them in no time. Next, we had some deep-fried dumplings, which had the same filling as the pan-fried ones but were freshly fried and piping hot. We also enjoyed some "drooling chicken" and "mino pon" (a type of dish) sauce. My nephew and son had white rice, my sister had a green tea highball, and I had a beer. I accidentally spilled some dumpling sauce on my skirt, but the staff quickly came over and provided me with a individually wrapped stain remover, which was very helpful since chili oil stains are hard to remove. Thank you for the thoughtful gesture. Overall, it was a delicious meal.

Perfect for a casual drink! Spent one hour with a friend before a drinking party, and it was great. The gyoza is amazing. They have a variety of condiments on the table, so you can enjoy changing up the flavors. I usually like the chashu egg at Sono Da in Gotanda, so I tried it here, but the taste was a bit different than I expected. Oh well, the gyoza is delicious, so it's all good! lol

It was hot so I decided to stop by this restaurant at the gyoza festival to find food that goes well with beer. I ordered gyoza and saliva chicken. The gyoza was not my favorite type, it was similar to Osho's and I couldn't tell what was inside. It was finely chopped and sticky, and small. I prefer larger gyoza where I can taste the meat and vegetables. However, the saliva chicken had a good sauce flavor, and when eaten with the crispy garlic on top, it was delicious.

3rd or 4th visit maybe? Gyoza that you just feel like eating for some reason. This time it was quick and delicious! Order: - Gyoza (1 serving) for 320 yen - Macaroni salad for 330 yen Impressions of the dishes: The gyoza, as always, is unbelievably flavorful despite not using any meat. The intensity of the taste with just vegetables is amazing. The macaroni salad is also delicious. Other details: - Visit time: around 7:00 PM - Seating: Tatami table - Number of people: 2 - Cleanliness of the restaurant (out of 5): 4.0 - Cleanliness of the restroom (out of 5): Not used - Staff service (out of 5): 4.6

I went to this restaurant that I saw on YouTube or something and was curious about. Overall, the prices are cheap and it has a good atmosphere. The dumplings are on the smaller side but packed with filling and delicious. Easy to eat. Also, I really liked the grilled chicken cartilage. The seasoning and texture are irresistible. I also tried their famous Chinese noodles, which had a unique taste. The seafood broth is very strong, giving it a Japanese-style twist on Chinese noodles. At first, it felt a bit strange, but it grew on me and became quite addictive. It's also nice that they serve Maruef beer. Seems very convenient.

I visited on a regular night. I went around 7 pm and there were plenty of seats available. Pickled vegetables and a plate of dumplings are served as appetizers. After that, you can add more dishes using a QR code. The dumplings were smaller than I expected, but the inside was juicy and addictive. I ended up ordering more. Also, the beer was served in a large glass, which was nice.

The dumpling shop had a pretty good reputation and I was curious about it. I ordered dumplings (one serving is required) and some other items. I forgot the price because I ordered from my smartphone. I only briefly looked at the Google Maps reviews, so I didn't know it was a sister store of Futago. I was a little disappointed because I had imagined it was a small independent shop. There were many comedians' signatures on the wall, as expected of a chain with a lot of advertising. The dumplings were small and crispy, and delicious.

Yakiniku Futago's new concept store, the first of its kind, will open in Tokyo for three consecutive months starting in February 2023. The specialty is small-sized grilled dumplings with plenty of vegetables, offering a light snack-like experience. While easy to eat, the dumplings are difficult to handle as the skin tends to stick and tear easily. Many customers experienced this issue even with refills. The menu selection is limited with no extravagant dishes, but the variety in names and sauces gives the impression of diversity. The taste is decent, not bad, but personally prefer Chinese chain restaurants like Osho, Hidakaya, Osaka Osho, or Dandan for dumplings. The rolled omelette is tasty with a good amount of pepper seasoning.

It is a mysterious place in the east exit, a building dedicated to food and drink that was built about 3 years ago. The first floor has a soba noodle shop, the second floor has a yakitori shop, and all the buildings in the Pencil Building are for food and drink. When looking at the sign at the entrance of the building, there is a Chinese-looking restaurant named "Yoshiko" on the other side of the building, in the alley. Curious, I peek inside and find that it is a dumpling specialty shop. I try the beer and the appetizer of pickled cabbage, which are delicious. The dumplings are small and light, like Osaka-style dumplings, and very tasty. I order another serving, which is usually enough for three people. I also try the fried dumplings, which are round like marbles. When you bite into them, the meat juice bursts out. The small dumplings and fried round dumplings here were quite unique and delicious.

Gyoza with plenty of vegetables and a strong ginger flavor. There are a few different sauces, but I recommend trying the gyoza sauce and miso sauce. The okonomiyaki is a fluffy egg dish with a sesame oil aroma. The spicy chicken is not too hot. This restaurant seems like a great place for a casual drink.

The citric acid sour is great for the first drink when you tend to drink too much. The fully ripened tomato sour is also a delightful option. We ended up ordering another plate of dumplings, but they disappeared quickly, especially with cilantro topping. Overall, great value for money. Perfect for solo drinking.

Around February 2023, I visited a town with a Chinese-style interior that was easy to enter! There are various toppings for the dumplings, making it enjoyable! The seats are narrow, but it has a casual pub-like atmosphere so it's fine. It seems like the founder's mother of FUTAGO was the motif? It's a nice feeling in the shop!

This is my second visit, but for some reason I didn't post a review last time, so this is my first post. This is a gyoza specialty shop from Osaka that opened in Gotanda during the pandemic. When you enter, you are served with a complimentary ★pickled cabbage and ★grilled gyoza for the number of people without having to say anything. All other orders are placed through a QR code. ★Squid tempura ★Refreshing moyapon ★Yoshiko-yaki (tamagoyaki) ★Yoshiko and ramen. Last time I went, the ramen was sold out and I was really disappointed, so I tried it again this time. It's delicious! The grilled gyoza is also delicious, and although the drinks are a bit pricey, it's a very convenient place for a light drink!

Somewhere nostalgic, a restaurant that makes you feel like you've wandered into a relative's house and completely relaxed - that's Yoshiko Gotanda Main Store, an Osaka gyoza specialty shop. With counter seats, table seats, and even a raised seating area, this place gives off a cozy and welcoming vibe. I opted for a table seat this time (the raised seating area is charming, but as someone with a history of torn ligaments and shattered kneecaps, I appreciate the table seat!). First things first, you must order the gyoza! The menu kindly requests that each person order at least one serving, which is fitting for a gyoza specialty shop. So, I ordered: - Gyoza x2 - Yoshiko-yaki (omelette) - The return of Takosan Wiener - Yoshiko's ramen - Yoshiko's pudding For drinks, I went with the "Yoshiko's homemade sour," along with a ripe tomato, fresh ginger, and Yoshiko's lemon - a complete set! I also love the original glasses they serve drinks in. The gyoza comes with condiments on the table - gyoza sauce, chili oil, miso sauce, and vinegar with pepper. The vinegar with pepper was a new experience for me, and it added a nice touch to the gyoza. Surprisingly, the gyoza was light and refreshing, making it easy to devour them one after another. The Yoshiko-yaki, served on a silver plate, had a delightful sesame oil aroma and mayo that made it a perfect match for drinks. And when I saw the words "The return of Takosan Wiener," I couldn't resist ordering it as well. It added a colorful touch to the table, along with the sweet vinegar cabbage appetizer. For the finale, I enjoyed the popular ramen with its rich and hearty soup. It had a nostalgic Showa-era vibe, which was quite enjoyable. And to top it all off, I had the pudding dessert. The handwritten Yoshiko message on it was a nice touch that made me smile. As I left, I received a Yoshiko sticker and candy, making my satisfaction level reach 120%. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
