[Gyoza x Curry: A Fusion of Japanese Dumplings and Curry]

Do you feel uncomfortable with curry rice topped with gyoza, or curry rice with gyoza set menus? For Sapporo residents, eating curry with gyoza or gyoza as toppings is a familiar combination. However, it may not be a common combination in home cooking.

Where do Sapporo residents eat curry and gyoza at Miyoshino's, a chain of gyoza and curry restaurants in Sapporo? Miyoshino's is located in Sapporo and other parts of Hokkaido, in the city center and surrounding areas, and when I checked, there were stores in all 10 wards of the city. No wonder I often see that red signboard and cute character wherever I go. The character holding up a gyoza with a smiling face is called “Poppus Boya.” Miyoshino's chilled gyoza, which can be found in the chilled section of supermarkets, is also a familiar sight to Sapporo residents. Many people must be familiar with Miyoshino's chilled gyoza when they are thinking about what to eat today or want to make a quick meal. They are also convenient when you want to grill gyoza　with your evening drink.

Miyoshino's has been a familiar place for Sapporo residents since 1967, when it opened as a gyoza specialty restaurant. Later, curry was added to the menu, and Miyoshino's became familiar to Sapporo residents as a curry and gyoza restaurant. Some of the restaurants also offer ramen noodles, and you can enjoy a set that combines gyoza and ramen, a combination that can be said to be the royal road to success. Gyoza Curry is a curry rice topping topped with gyoza, which may come as a surprise to those who are not familiar with the dish. Miyoshi's set, in which gyoza and curry rice are served separately, is recommended for those who want to eat gyoza with sauce, and for those who want to taste both with sauce and in curry. The curry is also available in sweet and dry flavors and in children's sizes, making it suitable for families. If you have been eating curry and gyoza in combination since you were a child, you are a genuine Sapporo native! Gyoza is thin-skinned and soft, and the sweetness of the vegetables and meat and the aromatic vegetables are not too assertive and have little spice, so it can be said that the taste is widely loved by both children and adults.

Customers who visit the Otaru Showroom are not only from the local Otaru City, Sapporo City, and other parts of Hokkaido, but also from outside of Hokkaido on a trip, which is surprising. We also have customers from overseas. Miyoshino's does not have a store in Otaru, but if you ever go to Sapporo, you should definitely stop by. It is a place where you can casually drop in, where you feel like eating, and where the gentle taste will make you feel at ease. If you are looking for something else to eat after eating delicious food on your trip to Hokkaido, Miyoshi's is the place to go.
