  1. Why do they never mention it came from chinese. Pay respects to the heritage and then explain what u changed/improved

  2. I love how the Japanese always show the exact ingredients and method in preparing their food. And the western counterparts only tells you it's a "secret ingredient"

  3. ..as I sadly heat my frozen gyoza made by some factory machine.. 😅

  4. There may be more than one million Chinese chefs in China who can make better Gyoza than this so-called Japanese master.

  5. ラーメンと餃子!
    ビール🍺と餃子はめちゃくちゃ美味いんだよなぁ😁

  6. His shop's specialty is only gyoza and he gave out the recipe freely.
    This guy is a legend!!
