We arranged it as follows. What do you think?
The Takao store, the main store of 'Gyoza no Maruoka', a specialty of Miyazaki's Miyakonojo City. This renowned long-established store with a history of over 50 years offers authentic Chinese-style dumplings made by hand. The winged pan-fried dumplings, with a chewy meat filling and a delightful dough, are a popular dish for all ages.
The dumplings of 'Gyoza no Maruoka' are handmade by the family. Almost all of the processes, from making the filling, kneading the dough, to wrapping, are done by hand, which is a characteristic feature. There is also a dedication to the ingredients. In addition to wheat flour, the dough is made with kelp broth, and the filling uses fresh domestic vegetables and meat.
If you visit the Takao store, you can smell the fragrant aroma of freshly baked dumplings inside. You can also take them out, but it is also recommended to enjoy them slowly in the store. The perfect harmony of chewy dough and juicy filling in bite-sized pieces is one of the charms.
Inheriting the founder's aspirations, the current store is led by the third-generation president. The dumplings of this store contain secrets known only to three generations. There are deep stories hidden in the taste of this renowned store, such as dedication to ingredients, unique production methods, and the family bond that continues to pass them down.
