Behind the Counter at a Gyoza Restaurant in Japan

Get 10% off with my link on Squarespace - This is behind the counter at Ichimi RinRin, a popular local Chinese Gyoza restaurant in Tokyo that draws it roots from recipe handed down by grandma. This Tokyo hidden gem is located just a minute walk from the JR Shimbashi Station Karasu Mori Exit in Tokyo. So the kitchen chefs apparently don’t speak much Japanese and my Chinese is non-existent so yeah, I’m a bit anxious about this one. The restaurant was originally opened by Kamiyama san more than 20 years ago in 1987 in Tokyo. It was just her at a small counter bar, but after some time the word from her customers about her amazing Gyoza dumplings started to spread. So much so, that all the new business helped her move and open up her very first restaurant at the location we’re in today. In fact, in Japan, Chinese food is very much a part of Japanese food culture, making up about 14% of the restaurants which is even more than sushi restaurants at 8%. Kamiyama
