Gyoza is kind of
Japanese potsticker-like food, but fried. Eaten with
soy sauce and that
spicy oil they use, it is incredibly yummy.
Utsunomiya, the capital of Tochigi prefecture in Japan, is famous for its gyoza. Me and my fellow English teacher, Jesse D'Alessio, used to make the two-hour train trip from Shirakawa to Utsunomiya simply to buy thirty or so gyoza to munch on.
Mmmm. . . soooo gooood. Natsukashii.
