What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

For decades, this shop has sold only one item: pan-fried gyoza. Often sells out within an hour of opening. Extremely thin, crispy skin with juicy filling. 7 pieces for 500 yen. The emblematic B-grade gourmet of Hitoyoshi. Takeout available.

Reviewers praise the crispy exterior and juicy interior, calling the thin skin 'a craftsman's skill.' Regulars returning after 20 years note the unchanged taste. Arrive early — often sells out. TripAdvisor 4.5/5.
