I don't even need rice to complement (good) gyozas. (especially when i make them at home) what i like the most about gyozas is that you can have them as a snack by having a few, while you can keep eating more of them until you're satisfied, as with any meal. and the crunchiness is so satisfying compared to other dumplings which are usually just boiled or steamed.
not going to lie i luv eating gyoza..it's a meal of it's own...it is so delicious with the ponza sauce..i do eat it with a little bit of rice...we eat it as a main dish for lunch or dinner on it's own... ..family of 5 we eat a whole bag of it...
My family has been having gyoza as a main dish since the mid-1660’s. All of us kids loved gyoza so much that my mother would make a huge batch of filling and set all of us kids down at the table to make the filled gyoza. She said we could only eat as many as we made, which meant one brother who could eat a huge amount of gyoza was left sitting at the table by himself after the rest of us were done, happily filling gyoza skins knowing they were all his! We ate gyoza, rice, and home made Japanese pickles for dinner. These are some of the fondest memories from my childhood … thank you Okasan!
I was stationed in Guam back in the 1980's. There was a ramen shop there called Aji Ichi. There I had ramen for the first time. I also had Gyoza, and a lifelong obsession was born. I finally had to learn to make it myself, since finding it in the midwest isn't easy. Would I be ridiculous if I flew to Japan just to eat Gyoza? Because I'm thinking about it.
@@stoveguy2133 Yes, but I live in a town of 1200 in the middle of the country. It takes over an hour by interstate to get anywhere that would have gyoza. And the last time I had it, it wasn't very good. It would be best to get it from the source. Hence, me planning a trip to Japan. I'm retired, I can do that.
I can guarantee if I tried to roll up one spindle full gyoza wrapping it would look like rolling up a 200 length of carpet. Those ladies got the skill! Thanks for the video John!
I just spent 3 weeks in Japan, and I have to say out of all the awesome food I tried, Gyoza stole my heart the most. They were so different than the ones I get back home in Canada. The Tare sauce is so damn addicting. I would go out late at night and just order 2 or 3 orders so I could eat like 20 gyoza all at once. The best were in Kagoshima in my opinion; the Kurobuta black pork makes them soooo juicy and delicious!
THIS WAS FASCINATING! Gyoza is one of my all time favorite things in life and your video was so informative. I think I will need to try alllllll the kinds out there!
It's usually sold as a side dish or snack. That said, I would happily eat a plateful of these as a main. 🤤🤤 Love Leo's little happy dance after eating the gyoza. ☺
I grew up eating gyozas as main dish. Didn't know people ate them as side dish until I started to go out to eat ramen. Gyoza can definitely hold as its own. Although, I do love some good fried rice with gyozas!
It’s because you mainly get than at … ramen restaurants famous for ramen. Japanese families though often have gyoza parties and make their own, but visitors don’t have them at home.
Sayan4070 has it right. Gyoza are a main dish at home. I guess if your family is rich and never cooks at home then you might see them as a side. But if you ever actually make them you realize that it is really hard to only make 3/person. If you are already making the wrapping and filling you might as well make a meal.
Aw, that’s really nice! I love a good story, learning and sharing something new about what’s now my home - and a way to share what’s so special about it which is so much!
Recently I have visited Fukuoka, there are so many option to try the Hakata Ramen but I went to ramen Unari which John had in video that he made many years ago. It was not disappointed. Thanks to John for the great recommendation.
The content, the quality of your episodes is simply unmatched. Professional, entertaining just like watching Tv 📺. You’re the original, and the best Japan UA-camr. There is simply nobody better. Matane! ❤
Ah, sad that utsunomiya lost!! Still can remember visiting and seeing the little dumpling statue!! Definitely a main for me, though i dont even eat it with rice, just full on dumplings mode.
I have to admire the dedication they have to make Gyoza, waking up at 4:30am. I would love to try them but I live in Springfield, lucky to who ever gets to eat them
Or - you can make them yourself. It’s actually quite easy and we DO NOT eat frozen gyoza often. Just need the skin / wrapper. It’s pork, garlic, chives - or ANYTHING really. And they taste just as good 😋 put them in a pan, add some oil or fat, water, cover them up for 4-5 minutes and you’ve got paradise gyoza
I get hungry every time I watch one of your food episodes. This one is no exception. I will be going to Mitsuwa Market to buy gyoza for dinner tonight.
Whether on it's own or as a side, gyoza are great any way in my book! Another great Japanese innovation with those chicken wing gyoza. Happy to see Kagoshima in the list for the gyoza battle. 🌋 One thing is for sure, gyoza are delicious and make people happy. You only needed to look how Leo was enjoying them! I'm hungry now John! 😋 🥟🥟🥟👍
I didn’t realize that there are so many different gyoza fillings! Yum! I love gyoza & can eat it for breakfast. Gyoza is a meal in its own convenient package! 😋🥟💞
Now I'm really craving gyoza. When I make them at home I use 50/50 beef and pork and make about 120 at a time. They go quickly as the main course! Thanks for the great video, John!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, thank you for uploading them! Your work is likely the main reason I'm traveling to Japan in March :) As someone who doesn't eat fish, Gyozas look like a silver lining!
my friends and i order a bunch of takeout gyozas for dinner in kyoto last october. It was a nice surprise how good, easy and inexpensive that dinner was.
I never knew gyozas were such a thing down in Miyazaki! I'll make sure to add it to the list of destinations to visit next time! Also, gyoza can definitely be a main or side dish!
I think I've eaten like 2 dozen gyozas in a single sitting before, really like them cooked as potstickers (or guotie for those of you who like Chinese cooking), but I'm fine with steamed as well. Really goes well with dark vinegar and garlic too. Pretty cool to see that Leo is a fan of gyoza too!
I made gyozas today & ate 14, 7 veg & 7 chicken. I could eat more but I served with sesame ramen. Really nice comforting food in such cold weather. I also like pan fried, the two textures contrasting each other.
Are you kidding me? 😭 OMG. These look so delicious. I will have to watch later, or while I am eating. I cannot watch on an empty stomach. Oh man! This is torture, especially when there are no Gyoza that I can buy that is close by. 😞
gyoza and dim sum are my favorite foods. I have a really small appetite so gyoza are perfect to portion out exactly how much you want to eat before getting too full. I'd love to visit Miyazaki and try their gyoza one day! Thanks for showing us the awesome factory!
Another wonderful episode. I'm going out to the market now to buy some gyoza now. Can't wait for lunch. I've eaten Gyoza as a main dish plenty of times, it's always sad at the end when theirs only 1 left.
I’ve never thought of gyoza as a side dish but simply one of the food on the menu. If anything, I think it compliments chahan more than ramen from my own personal experience. But man, that gyoza stuffed chicken wing, though… I can just imagine the taste as you bit into it, yum! Also I’d take the smile of a child as approval over a ramen expert any day.😆
No matter the dish, Gyoza had always been a side dish to me because of their small individual sizes. Thank you for the hard work and insight in this video, John. It opened my eyes to what else Gyoza could be in a meal 👍🏻
I wanted to watch some Japan related videos (after a longgg time - I think last time was a good 3-4 year back) and I spent 10 minutes looking for you because you make the best ones!
That was a great episode, John! I'm hungry now LOL. I can't believe how many gyoza they turn out each day. Amazing! And oh man does Leo look like his daddy!!! ❤
Awesome video. I thought it was interesting that the process was automated up until they started traying and wrapping the product. I'm sure that part could be automated, but I imagine there's a reason for it to not be such as space constraints or costs for equipment.
Gyoza for me is my favourite Japanese food, so I would love it as a meal more than a side but I'll take both in the long run lol. Great good on the Video John just wish it was way longer lol
I love making my own gyoza but it’s a long process. I wish I had one of those machines at my house. 😂 Also, stuffed chicken wings is a popular food in Southeast Asia. It’s an interesting concept.
I do like pan frying flower style. It adds a bit more crunch to the gyoza. I usually do prefer boiling dumplings over frying just because it's less oily and I can eat more of it.
Is it healthier if you eat 2x more though 😂 sui-gyoza just slide down hahaha! I def eat less Yaki gyoza because it’s heavier which is why I think it’s balanced out, same health wise.
Just finished the live stream, watched this last night! The Gyoza over there is much bigger than those found in South Africa! Speaking of, if there is anything you want brought over from South Africa, I'll be coming over to Japan for a month in December! Love from SA! take care, thanks for the epic content!
I always have a frozen pack of dumplings in my freezer, whether siu mai, gyoza, mandu and for a quick meal, I'll either pan fry them with the cornstarch crowns or just boil them and have them with rice. And in college, dumplings and rice were my favorite "poor student" meal
I've been watching this dude for 9 years, you've made dinner with the fam more educational and entertaining than ever before
I, for one, applaud John for exposing Cody and his ramen favoritism.
Typical ramenist! 😂
Who's Cody?
@@kimrose1559 I believe Cody is another creator in Japan and his content is all about different types of 🍜 Ramen. They collaborated on this video.
I love gyoza. One of my all time favorite japanese food.
I had gyoza for dinner tonight......Just gyoza...nothing else....I'm satisfied!😊
I don't even need rice to complement (good) gyozas. (especially when i make them at home)
what i like the most about gyozas is that you can have them as a snack by having a few, while you can keep eating more of them until you're satisfied, as with any meal.
and the crunchiness is so satisfying compared to other dumplings which are usually just boiled or steamed.
I'm Indonesian and rice with dumpling actually is how we eat dumpling back in the days. Nowadays dumpling is their own dish, making it the main dish.
not going to lie i luv eating gyoza..it's a meal of it's own...it is so delicious with the ponza sauce..i do eat it with a little bit of rice...we eat it as a main dish for lunch or dinner on it's own... ..family of 5 we eat a whole bag of it...

the awesome thing about gyoza you can have it anytime..eat it as snack, luncg, dinner...all good
You can never go wrong with an only in japan video.
This feels like I'm watching, How it's made. cool

just do it. its worth it. there are gyoza bars where they just offer gyoza of course. another level.
Trader's Joe have some good gyozas
@@cederian Thanks. I'll look for the one closest to me.
Ha, there are tons of restaurants that serve Goyza in Mercia.
@@stoveguy2133 Yes, but I live in a town of 1200 in the middle of the country. It takes over an hour by interstate to get anywhere that would have gyoza.

I LOVE Gyoza. ❤
Well, im set, im going to go out and get an all gyoza lunch today!! 😊
6:01 I love her outfit!
Did you see the GYOZA 🥟 Earrings?!? 😍 awesomeness!!!
SOOO GLAD TO SEE YOU!
Nice video I'm eating chicken gyoza today this Christmas morning. Have a wonderful Christmas you and your family and Japan
Yes to gyoza as a main dish! With some pickles maybe - I don't even need rice!
After seeing this skipping the ramen once in awhile is good for a change. Thank you for showing me.
I can guarantee if I tried to roll up one spindle full gyoza wrapping it would look like rolling up a 200 length of carpet. Those ladies got the skill! Thanks for the video John!
BTW, love Leo's hairstyle. :)
Leo the LION 🦁 hahaha
john we miss you and we mix those frequent videos a looooooot.
New video thats great
Looks good hungry 🤤
I ❤ Gyoza
最高😊👍
amazing video craving Gyoza now .
Gyoza seems like the perfect food to take home and enjoy with a good drink and movie!
I just spent 3 weeks in Japan, and I have to say out of all the awesome food I tried, Gyoza stole my heart the most. They were so different than the ones I get back home in Canada. The Tare sauce is so damn addicting. I would go out late at night and just order 2 or 3 orders so I could eat like 20 gyoza all at once. The best were in Kagoshima in my opinion; the Kurobuta black pork makes them soooo juicy and delicious!
yes, Gyoza is best dumpling in Asia
I love these types of videos where we can see things that are often closed to the public!
congratulations! great video, and lovely family
Great episode, it was interesting seeing the chicken wing gyoza. I guess because Miyazaki is known for some great chicken too? Haha
I really want the one with the sticky skin sticking them all together, looks amazing 🎉
Baby leo i so cute, love your review on the gyoza craze in japan. More of this please
More to come!
THIS WAS FASCINATING! Gyoza is one of my all time favorite things in life and your video was so informative. I think I will need to try alllllll the kinds out there!
Yessss!!! I also love gyoza with rice!

This is why I’ve always loved Only in Japan videos! Informative AND entertaining! I always share these videos with friends lol keep up the good work!
Awesome as always John!
I've been watching John for like 10yrs now. Still top notch John the real UA-cam King of Japan. ❤

Yeah, I super get Japanology vibes from this episode!
Ah, sad that utsunomiya lost!! Still can remember visiting and seeing the little dumpling statue!! Definitely a main for me, though i dont even eat it with rice, just full on dumplings mode.
It’s a battle! Who will win the war. Utsunomiya has a lot of power, a strong legacy so I’m sure they’ll win some, but not them all.
Love your content John!
Gyoza most certainly is a meal on it's own, right @Jason Bourgeois? 😀😂😋🥟🥟🥟 Loved seeing Leo doing the gyoza dance 🕺
It’s THE PERFECT FOOD!! 🥟🤤
🥟🥟🥟😋 Yummo!
Gyoza are a meal in our house. Love them!!! 🥰

Whichever! Love having both ! ❤😂
Gyoza is a beautiful food🤤
Leo is adorable!
Also, this video is making me want some gyoza, but it's almost 2AM here.
I get hungry every time I watch one of your food episodes. This one is no exception. I will be going to Mitsuwa Market to buy gyoza for dinner tonight.
I totally agree with you my friend!
Great episode as always, John.
OMG YEEES! First to comment! 5:34 am in Bogotá waking up tp a new OIJ episode! Thank you John! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I didn’t realize that there are so many different gyoza fillings! Yum! I love gyoza & can eat it for breakfast. Gyoza is a meal in its own convenient package! 😋🥟💞
So many, regional - I guess if you use cheese it becomes ravioli?! 😂

When I lived in Osaka, every few evenings my dinner was a dozen gyoza and scrambled eggs on the side.
I miss Japan.
Another excellent episode. 🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟👍🏽Another only in Japan story well told with a well made video. ❤❤

Leo showing off his dance moves at the end was the most entertaining part.
I recently got back from a trip to Japan, and I definitely had my fair share of gyoza out there. It can definitely be a meal on it's own!

I often just have 10 to 12 frozen gyoza for breakfast on the weekends if I don't feel like making anything
Yeah I'll definitely smash down like 8 dumplings at a go when I'm hungry lol
I wanted to watch some Japan related videos (after a longgg time - I think last time was a good 3-4 year back) and I spent 10 minutes looking for you because you make the best ones!
You’re killing me! I’m drooling right now, while watching this! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

You can never have enough videos from john and gyozas! Could eat them for every meal!
Yes, yes it can but it has to be good! i have had lots of bad gyoza in my time! thanks for the share! stay awesome!
Another great video from the legend.
I love making my own gyoza but it’s a long process. I wish I had one of those machines at my house. 😂 Also, stuffed chicken wings is a popular food in Southeast Asia. It’s an interesting concept.
I'm so glad I can finally get gluten free gyoza at the Asian markets here in the states!!
I do like pan frying flower style. It adds a bit more crunch to the gyoza. I usually do prefer boiling dumplings over frying just because it's less oily and I can eat more of it.
Is it healthier if you eat 2x more though 😂 sui-gyoza just slide down hahaha! I def eat less Yaki gyoza because it’s heavier which is why I think it’s balanced out, same health wise.
Gyoza is always ranked top 3 favourite Chinese dishes in Japan along with fried rice and mapo tofu, even above ramen.
Oh heck yeah! I would skip the ramen and do the options you did John. Looks delicious.
I now what im going eat soon. I also like Apple gyoza. Taste is sweet good for a snack
Just finished the live stream, watched this last night! The Gyoza over there is much bigger than those found in South Africa! Speaking of, if there is anything you want brought over from South Africa, I'll be coming over to Japan for a month in December! Love from SA! take care, thanks for the epic content!
Thanks for coming here to watch! Maybe see you around the city!
I always have a frozen pack of dumplings in my freezer, whether siu mai, gyoza, mandu and for a quick meal, I'll either pan fry them with the cornstarch crowns or just boil them and have them with rice. And in college, dumplings and rice were my favorite "poor student" meal
this made me want to grab some frozen dumplings so i can feel young as a college kid. Gyoza is the best.
Made me so hungry😊
i prefer eating gyoza with rice together with spicy-sour sauce or Worcester sauce it's really delicious for me 🥰🥰
Nice video John, thank you 😉 if you wanna try amazing gyoza but with a twist in Tokyo you should try the restaurant VEGAN GYOZA ヴィーガン餃子.
