Located on Baba-dori in Utsunomiya City since 1965, Masatsugu Miyajima Honten is a gyoza specialty shop known for its focused menu offering strictly pan-fried and boiled gyoza. The pan-fried gyoza, crisp and pan-fried with a thin skin, feature a light filling rich in vegetables with modest garlic and the clear aroma of ginger, making it easy to finish multiple plates without realizing it. For the boiled gyoza prepared with the same filling, the staff share the owner's recommended seasoning—several dashes of vinegar and a little chili oil—which highlights the chewy skin and the savoriness of the vegetables. Seating consists of just 12 counter seats in a simple setting where you can feel the sound and aroma of frying gyoza up close. While it is a popular spot with unavoidable queues, orders are taken while waiting in line, ensuring quick service once seated, making it easy to stop by even on your own. Reservations are also available for raw gyoza to take home, making it an ideal starting point for exploring Utsunomiya's gyoza scene.
