We Tried All 20 Kinds of Gyoza at Gyoza Marche near Kwansei Gakuin【Nishitsu Gourmet】

A second branch of the gyoza specialty shop “Gyoza Marche” opened on September 4 in Uegahara 3-bancho, near Kwansei Gakuin.

They have over 20 kinds of gyoza, and on the day we visited there were 20, so we tried taking out every single one of them～

For Nishitsu, it turned into a gyoza party♪

Gyoza from “Gyoza Marche”

We lined up all 20 kinds～!!

“Wooooow!!!”This is the kind of thing that gets you seriously excited😃

The gyoza don’t come with name tags, so while cooking them it’s easy to go, “Wait, what was this one again?”
We cooked them by lining them up in front of the sheet with each gyoza’s name written on it～ (Now we’re safe)

They also include instructions ↓↓ for how to cook delicious gyoza, so even gyoza beginners can relax. You’ll be able to cook “delicious gyoza”～😃

They cooked up nicely on a hot plate too～(#^.^#)

“Ooooh, they look so good～”
↓↓

Most readers are probably already thinking, “Gyoza～” “I want gyoza～”🤓

Cook, eat, cook, eat…

Over the four “Omi Beef Gyoza”

we even played rock-paper-scissors～ (Shacho and Yumacchi were being modest, so the five hungry members played for them)

Thanks to Gyoza Marche, it turned into an incredibly fun gyoza party.

Now then, what you’re probably curious about is all 20 kinds of gyoza.

Nishitsu Members Made Their Own Gyoza Ranking

The gyoza we ate ↓↓

And that’s how the results turned out～😀

Here’s what everyone had to say about their favorites～↓↓

“The always-reliable shiso. It’s light and refreshing, and definitely my favorite.”
*This gyoza had the filling wrapped with gyoza skin and shiso～

After eating the Hamamatsu Gyoza, one comment:
“It tastes like home～ This really is the best.”
*Leader is from Shizuoka Prefecture

“Omi Beef is juicy! I want to dig into it again!”
*After the Omi Beef rock-paper-scissors battle, Sensei ended up in the final two with Mama, so they split it and each ate half

“It’s cheese～ so good～ It’s gyoza, but it’s cheese～ It’s cheese, but it’s gyoza～”
That’s what they said.

“Island chili pepper, this spicy kick is addictive～!! Beer is calling my name～”
*A miracle: Mama, who usually doesn’t drink much beer, actually wanted beer. All hail the island chili pepper～

“Japanese-style sweet bean paste is not what I expected～!! It’s sweet and savory, and you could even eat it as a snack!? To me it’s not mitarashi dango, haha. Maybe closer to an Imuraya meat bun??”
*Shacho described the Japanese-style sweet bean paste one as “mitarashi dango,” so this is a denial of that idea. Everyone rejected Shacho’s “mitarashi dango-style” description

“Island chili pepper is amazing. The heat lingers～ It really makes the beer go down～”
*So good it even won over Niko, who isn’t usually great with spicy food. The small size is nice too ◎

About the sauce,
Gyoza dipping sauce was included, but the shop’s recommendation is “vinegar × pepper.”
It was refreshing, and we totally understood why they recommended it～

If you’re curious, definitely give it a try (^。^)

Bonus

This is “Nepal Gyoza,” a specialty by Sensei @ Nishitsu.
The wrapping technique is professional～

The special sauce made by Sensei @ Nishitsu (curry powder, ketchup, olive oil, and so on) goes incredibly well with it!

Final Thoughts

Seven adults (four men and three women) shared one serving each of all 20 kinds of gyoza.
We thought one serving each might feel a little unsatisfying, but it was plenty, and we ended up full～ (Though two of the men are fairly light eaters.)
Even while saying “I’m full,” the big eaters still had three servings of yakisoba after the gyoza…
Eating with a big group let us enjoy all kinds of flavors, and it was really fun!
Also, they cooked deliciously even on a hot plate～
