Utsunomiya, Tochigi
Utsunomiya is Tochigi’s capital, and this city’s claim to fame stems from its amazing gyoza restaurants. With over 200 specialty stores scattered throughout its streets, trying these pan-fried dumplings is a definite must. Minmin is one of the most famous restaurants – it has eleven different branches in different parts of the city, and is very affordable. For the complete gyoza experience, visit Utsunomiya Gyoza-kan, which serves 12 different varieties of dumpling. Alternatively, fans of deep-fried food can get their fill at Umaiya, where the gyoza are cooked Western-style rather than in a pan.
