Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜Tenman Gyoza

I had three hours to kill in Tokyo and a valid Shinkasen pass. Amidst total confusion in the Japanese rail office about what on earth I thought I was doing, one lady said that Utsunomiya was famous for its dumplings. So 50 minutes on the bullet train to Utsunomiya, walked out the station, found a dumplingerie, ate dumplings and had a beer , walked out and caught the train back. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Great dumplings.

Very inexpensive. Tasty combinations of dumplings and other sides to add to an alcoholic beverage. A dinner for 1000 yen is possible.
