Cool Japan: Gyoza

 ■ Cool Japan: Gyoza 

NHK Cool Japan: "Gyoza" edition.

The time for gyoza has come.

Like ramen and curry, gyoza has evolved in a unique way in Japan and is now a Japanese dish.

There are many different kinds of gyoza, including local and unusual gyoza, and they are spreading out into the world.

"France-China"

In my neighborhood, there are a number of stylish gyoza bars, specialising in gyoza, champagne and wine, and it feels like gyoza has become an international food.

Because it is a specialty store, it has gone from being a supporting role to being the main role.

One of the secrets to the popularity of fried gyoza is its texture.

It's crispy and juicy, and the filling inside falls apart softly.

The multiple changes in texture are a characteristic of Japan, where texture is key.

It can also be eaten as a side dish or a snack, or just on its own - it's a complete meal.

"Fes"

The fact that they even have a festival shows that gyoza has a wide variety and is well-established all over the country.

The fact that there are so many food festivals is proof that there is a diverse food culture throughout Japan.

For example, if you like ice cream, you can go to a festival and taste famous ice creams from all over the country in one place.

If you're really thinking about going on a trip, there's no other leisure activity that is as affordable and easy, so food festivals may spread around the world.

"Grilling equipment"

We respect the work of craftsmen while developing machines that anyone can use.

This is not a contradiction; rather, these machines are designed to be capable of performing skilled work, with the ultimate goal being to produce careful work.

So, just as craftsmen of the past perfected the technique of grilling gyoza, today's craftsmen have thoroughly researched what temperature to start grilling at, what pressure to create in the pot, and how many cc of water at what temperature to add, and they grill these things while scientifically controlling the process.

In fact, craftsmen are involved in both jobs, and where the craftsmen are located changes with the times.
