Head over to Komazawa Olympic Park during Golden Week to spend an entire day sampling some of Japan’s best gyoza. There are around 18 stalls offering many different styles of the quintessential Japanese dumpling. Enjoy miso butter and beef katsu gyoza from Hokkaido, juicy A5 wagyu gyoza from Fukuoka, cheese-topped xiao-long-bao-style gyoza from Saitama, Hakata-style hitokuchi (bite-size) gyoza, red bean paste and butter dessert gyoza from Tokyo, and much more.
There will also be other dishes like fried rice to go with the gyoza, as well as craft beer from Fujizakura Heights Beer, Peccary Beer and Hokkaido Brewing. There’s no entry fee, so you can just pay as you go.
If you want to forgo the hassle of paying at each stall, there's a package deal sold online for ¥4,000, which includes five meal tickets and a fast ticket to skip one queue.
