\"Hamamatsu<\/a><\/p>\n

Once more, the city of Hamamatsu in the Shizuoka prefecture has been declared the gyoza capital of Japan, yet again usurping the iconic foodie city, Utsunomiya.<\/p>\n

Gyoza, are Chinese-style dumplings, or \u201cpot-stickers\u201d, which were first brought to Japan from China after WWII. Since then, many regions across Japan have modified the gyoza to fit their preferences. No city loves gyoza quite like Hamamatsu however, where restaurants serving gyoza are as abundant as conbini (convenience stores).<\/p>\n

What makes the Hamamatsu gyoza special? Actually, in terms of ingredients and taste, the \u201cHama-gyoza\u201d does not deviate from tradition. In in of itself it is quite the traditional gyoza, the only major difference being that in Hamamatsu it is common to finish off the gyoza by topping it with a fresh pile of bean sprouts. Nonetheless, the people of Hamamatsu have a special fondness for the dumpling, even dedicating an entire festival to it. The Hamamatsu Gyoza Society actively works to promote gyoza throughout the city and beyond.<\/p>\n
