■ Three Strengths of 'Gyoza Izakaya Momotaro'

The restaurant values three key points as an izakaya loved by local residents in their 20s to 60s and baseball fans from across the Kanto region.

1. A rare space in Kanto to cheer for the Hawks

It is one of the few restaurants in the Kanto region where you can watch and cheer for Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks games. Two TVs in the store provide a comfortable view from any seat. The restaurant offers a space where fans can unite and have fun. Fans of other teams and those unfamiliar with baseball are also welcome.

2. Unpretentious, 'simple yet delicious' handmade gyoza

The signature gyoza are made entirely in-house, without relying on outsourcing or pre-made products, based on the concept of 'simple yet delicious.' The restaurant uses carefully selected thick skins and wraps the filling, made from domestic ingredients, by hand one by one. Customers can enjoy the different textures and flavors of pan-fried, deep-fried, and boiled gyoza. In addition to the most popular 'Stamina Yaki Gyoza,' a variety of other unique gyoza are available.

3. Solo diners welcome! A relaxing, spacious counter

The small restaurant has 12 seats (6 counter seats, 6 table seats), but the main counter is designed to be spacious with a depth of 55 cm. Even with a glass and plate, there is plenty of room, and it is popular among solo diners who can relax and enjoy gyoza, drinks, and baseball without worrying about others.

■ Owner Shuta Kubo's First Anniversary Greeting and Thoughts

Shuta Kubo, owner of Gyoza Izakaya Momotaro

'I wanted to create a place where Hawks fans living in Kanto can cheer passionately without hesitation.' 'I want people to take their time enjoying truly delicious handmade gyoza that value the basics.' With these thoughts, I opened Gyoza Izakaya Momotaro in June 2025.

Over this past year, we have been surrounded by wonderful customers, including local residents and Hawks fans who came from afar. We have been able to run our business happily every day, laughing together and sometimes cheering passionately together. I am deeply grateful.

There are not many places in Kanto where Hawks fans can gather and drink together. That is why I hope our restaurant can become a 'home ground in Kanto' for everyone, a place of comfort and relaxation.

We will continue to serve carefully prepared delicious gyoza and cold drinks. For the First Anniversary Week, I have prepared a small token of my gratitude (the first drink), so whether you are a first-time visitor or a regular, please feel free to come and raise a glass with us.
