The steamed buns are freshly made and served hot. The small pork buns are filled with juices, so be sure to eat them without letting them spill out!

Gyoza is a common food in Japanese households. It is now so ingrained in daily life that frozen gyoza vending machines are now available.

Hyotan, which has a history of over 50 years in Kobe, features a red miso-based sauce with ground meat!
You can add vinegar, soy sauce, raayu, or grated garlic to the sauce to taste.
