About "Osaka Gyoza Specialty Restaurant Yoshiko"

"Yoshiko" is the mother of the founders of "Osaka Yakiniku/Horumon Futago." When the brothers were young, their mother "Yoshiko," who ran a small restaurant, made their signature gyoza. Despite being poor, "Yoshiko," who was always smiling and caring, made small, thin-skinned gyoza filled with plenty of vegetables, including grated garlic, ginger, and napa cabbage. The gyoza, browned to a fragrant crisp, have a chewy texture despite their crispy surface. The juicy filling melts in your mouth, releasing the umami of the vegetables, and you'll find yourself finishing a plate in no time. The gyoza, made with 100% domestic vegetables and carefully prepared one by one, are produced under strict safety standards, so children can enjoy them with peace of mind.
