Marusho Gyoza Honten
Founded in 1969, this legendary gyoza-only specialist in Sumido has competed on gyoza alone for 55+ years. Menu: gyoza and beer only. Fully reservation-based (call after 4 PM on the day). Known for thin-skinned, vegetable-packed, bite-sized dumplings. Selected as Tabelog Gyoza Top 100 in 2019, 2021, and 2024.
Reviews call it 'Japan's best gyoza' and 'No.2 nationwide.' The same-day reservation system adds to its legendary status. TripAdvisor #2 in Daito out of 107 restaurants. Even calling at reservation-start time of 3 PM results in earliest slot of 5 PM — that busy.
