The History and Evolution of Japanese Gyoza

Gyoza, which originated in China, came to Japan about 80 years ago and has developed uniquely in Japan. While boiled gyoza is the most common in China, yaki-gyoza became popular in Japan.

During the post-war reconstruction period, Japanese people embraced gyoza as an affordable and delicious food, leading to its nationwide popularity. 

Today, Japanese gyoza are beloved for their crisp exterior and succulent filling. Each region has its own style of gyoza, making it a deeply rooted part of Japan's culinary culture.🗾
