In October 2023, Gion Ginger Gyoza Suzucho, a sister restaurant of the popular Italian Restaurant Isco in Shijo Kawaramachi, will open in front of Yamatooji Shinmon.The owner, Mr. Kasuya, has worked at Isco for 10 years. He said, ``When I thought about my future, I decided that I wanted to do what I love.''Mr. Kasuya's favorite food was ``Dumplings were what I wanted more than anything during the coronavirus period when it was difficult to eat out.''When you enter the store, you are greeted by the aroma of gyoza and oden soup stock, which is perfect for the upcoming cold season.There is a menu that goes well with Japanese sake.

In the middle of the U-shaped counter seats, 15 types of piping hot oden, including daikon radish, egg, taro, green onion and ginger bags, are on standby.Since you are close to the staff, you can use it for a variety of occasions, such as enjoying a conversation or having a drink alone.There are counter seats that can be converted into private rooms, so it's recommended for small drinking parties.

The most recommended thing about this restaurant is definitely their famous ginger gyoza.When you take a bite, you can feel the strong ginger flavor.The ingredients are mainly from Kyoto, such as Kyoto pork and Kujo green onions.When he decided to open a gyoza restaurant, he said he wanted to make it a staple delivery service in Gion Town at night.

Assortment of five types of oden 1200 yen

We want you to enjoy the taste of the ingredients rather than the condiments, so we use a strong Kanto-style soup stock.Seafood such as bonito and kelp is added to the soup stock made from stewed beef tendon to add depth.They serve an assortment of the day's specials, but they always include one dish, the popular beef tendon stew.The red ginger octopus tempura and lotus root meatballs, etc., which are handmade every day at the shop, come out with dashi stock, creating a taste unique to this shop.While waiting for the gyoza to be baked, I want to enjoy the oden first.

To finish off your meal, enjoy Yakisoba, which is characterized by its chewy, thin noodles.The main ingredient is your choice of pork, squid, or beef tendon.The sauce is an original blend of spicy and sweet sauces.The moment you eat it, you can feel the light spice, but at the end it's sweet and addictive.
