Gyoza Fes Tokyo

Gyoza lovers rejoice! Autumn in Nakano sees a festival dedicated to the delectable dumplings. You can expect more styles of gyoza than you imagined possible, from deep-fried and pan-fried to boiled and steamed gyoza. There will be gyoza filled with prawn and garlic, Japanese black pork, Omi wagyu beef or eggplant, as well as gyoza topped with sesame oil and vinegar, melted cheese or even mayonnaise and pepper. Plus many more creative takes. It’s a good thing then that the festival runs for five days, so you can always come back if you haven’t ticked every type of dumpling on your checklist.
