Koga, Ibaraki, Japan｜丸満餃子

VERYGOOD

This is my first visit to the store! I made a reservation based on a friend's recommendation. I was staying at a hotel near Koga Station in Ibaraki Prefecture, so I visited during dinner time. It has been a popular restaurant for a long time, and although the sign says gyoza, you can enjoy gyoza on the first floor and okonomiyaki on the second floor. Since everyone including my friends loves gyoza, I reserved the gyoza floor on the first floor. The customer service on the phone was very friendly and my expectations were high. There is a free outdoor parking lot opposite the store. When I entered the store, I felt a little nostalgic. It has a relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel like you've come to your grandmother's house. There was a tatami room and a table seat. If you are in a wheelchair or have knee pain, there are tables available so you don't have to worry. *The tatami room was a regular tatami mat. There seemed to be some digging kotatsu as well. First, let's have some fun with draft beer! Order one plate each of fried gyoza, boiled gyoza, and steamed gyoza. When I read the description on the menu, it said that it was recommended to eat the food within 30 seconds of it being delivered to the table, so I decided to order frequently. The fried gyoza arrived in about 5 minutes! The delicious golden brown grilled eyes are great! I wanted to eat it quickly, so I took some pictures. The outside of the skin is crispy and chewy when you bite into it! The gyoza filling is light and easy to eat. You can have as many as you like! There are a wide variety of sauces that can be arranged in any way you like. Homemade chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, mustard, red powder (maybe shichimi?), homemade chili oil with chili pepper, special gyoza sauce, etc. At first, I added the sauce as it was and enjoyed it till the end without getting bored! This time, there were three of us, so in addition to the fried dumplings, we also ordered boiled dumplings (chewy and chewy), steamed dumplings (soft and chewy, served with mustard), mini dumplings (crunchy and plump), and honton (soup with 3 wontons) skins. It has spices mixed into it, so it's a little different from regular gyoza. Although it was a bit of a hassle, I wanted to eat piping hot and crunchy food, so I ordered 8 pieces per plate, and it turned out to be the right answer! They are all delicious! Another thing you should definitely try is the green onion salt pork. Moderately thick and soft jiggly pork topped with menma and green onions. Place it on top of chashu pork and roll it up. Delicious and just the right amount of salt! When you have chashu with gyoza, beer, or soup, you can enjoy it without getting bored! In addition to beer, we also have sake and shochu. Don't worry if you bring your kids as there is also a children's menu. Children's set 500 yen ramen with side menu and orange juice. Children's ramen is 400 yen. In addition, there are kids' birthday benefits for children's birthdays, so everyone from children to adults can enjoy it. Next time I think I'll try chili cheese dumplings with red skin. Thank you for the meal! I'll visit you again!

It's the first time I've heard that there are round gyoza dumplings. In-store dining starts at 11:30, but gyoza sales start at 11:00! I entered the store right after it opened, but there are already several groups waiting. However, I was immediately guided and saw it for the first time, so I ordered a gyoza set meal first. Since I was on a motorcycle, I drank the hot water in one go, and immediately asked for a second drink. thank you. Two small plates before the meal comes! The shop's recommended sauce, how to make a delicious sauce, follow the orthodox soy sauce, vinegar, and mayonnaise! I didn't have the courage to touch mayonnaise. Finally, the long-awaited gyoza set meal is the first time in my life to meet the perfectly round fox-colored fried gyoza. First of all, enjoy the taste of gyoza as it is. Freshly made hot, "Ah!" but the first food lipo After the second one, please calm down and enjoy the bean paste wrapped in the soft and fluffy skin in your mouth. I had a delicious hot set meal. Are you a regular next door? Order for two servings of gyoza dumplings eh! It was Maruman Gyoza who longed for Isagi's good order, ordering only grilled gyoza.
