Shokudo Hondaya
Historic diner founded in 1921 (Taisho 10), one minute walk from Shibata Station. Famous for jumbo-sized shumai (five pieces, 630 yen) and handmade gyoza — 90% of customers order them. Beloved by salarymen at lunch and locals at dinner for generations.
144 Tabelog reviews. 'Oversized shumai,' 'flavor passed down since Taisho era,' 'a Shibata memory' are recurring phrases. Expect lunch crowds. Negative reviews focus on wait times, not taste.
