Croissant gyoza: Pie-like dumplings take Japan by storm

This gyoza with a flaky croissant crust is so sought after it took a year for our order to arrive.

We’ve tried a lot of gyoza in Japan, ranging from Wasabeef wasabi gyoza through to varieties covered in gold leaf and ones made by former prisoners in Kabukicho.

However, there’s one type of gyoza that’s alluded us since we heard about it a year ago, and it’s caused such a sensation around Japan that 4,000 boxes of them have been known to sell out in 30 minutes.

Called Croissant Gyoza, this very special type of pot sticker comes from Tareya in Kagawa Prefecture, and when we say we’ve waited a year for them, we’re not joking. This screenshot of our receipt below shows the order date of 11 November 2019, and the scheduled delivery date — 11 November 2020!

▼ One year equates to 8,760 hours, if you convert 365 days into hours. So in terms of seconds, we’ve been waiting 31,536,000 seconds to eat these pot stickers.

“How is this possible?” Takashi asked. “How can this taste like a gyoza croissant and yet taste so good?”

[Cold Heart]

I think if I had to wait a year for a food I loved that much I would learn to make them myself.

I would spend all day making these little porky delights and BOOM! they are gone in 20 mins

Great advice, and I have become a pretty good cook following this advice.

The only thing I don't make at home is sushi

[Eddie01]

Love Tai.

Spicy or medium Spicy? Tough call sometimes. Depends on the owner/cook.

Speaking of sushi...

Looks good. They should try importing oranges too. Probably go over huge.
