Taga, Shiga, Japan｜Gyoza no Ohsho Expasa Taga Branch

A rare store in a high-speed service area. It is crowded during lunch time and you need to write your name and wait. This time I ordered dumplings and tenshin rice. I often asked for gyoza to be grilled, and they were crispy and very delicious. Tianjin rice was also satisfying with a lot of bean paste. I want to repeat.

Large service area. “Gyoza no Osho” ​​and “Ebi Senbei no Sato” are my favorites. I've never eaten it, but it seems that a store called "Butter Butler" in Tokyo has opened a store, so it might be useful if you forget to bring it as a souvenir!

Tsuntuku Tsuntuku. It's cold outside. it's snowing Looking for lunch at the service area, I run on the highway. Find a good service area I turned on the blinker, gently turned the steering wheel to the left, and parked in the parking lane. The inside of the car is heated and warm, but my stomach and the outside are frigid. After getting out of the car and trotting into the store, the clerk urged me to sit at the counter seat. I took the menu vigorously and was at a loss as to what to order. I ordered Chinese rice that seems to warm and ZERO gyoza. I hesitated for a moment when I was told that ZERO dumplings would take a long time to bake, but decided to wait. I thought I would have to wait 20 minutes, so I watched YouTube on my smartphone and waited 5 minutes. It's already here. early. I roughly put the gyoza sauce, vinegar, and chili oil in a small plate, dipped the gyoza in it, and stuffed my cheeks vigorously. I failed. It was so hot. I drank the water quickly, so I couldn't tell the taste from the heat and the coldness of the water. The second one was fufu and ate it. The ginger was effective and the umami of vegetables and meat spread throughout my mouth and it was delicious. And the main Chinese rice arrived. First of all, I slurp the attached Pusu. It is a hidden gem. And a bite of Chinese rice that can't be seen well in the steam. The bean paste was hotter than the gyoza. But I'm no fool I persevered without drinking water. The Chinese cabbage is crunchy and the bean paste and rice are the best match. The umami of meat and seafood is effective. I ate dumplings, pusu, and Chinese rice wholeheartedly. After paying the bill and getting in the car, I left the service area behind. Needless to say, the merging with the main line went smoothly.
