Kurume Gyoza
When you pierce the crispy, lace-like skirt with your chopsticks, it makes a satisfying sound. As you bite into a single-sized dumpling, the savory juices burst forth after the initial aroma of the thin skin. Because they are small, you can easily pop several in a row. The origins of Kurume gyoza are said to lie in the iron-pot grilling style enjoyed at food stalls. As is fitting for the birthplace of Tonkotsu ramen, it has become a staple side dish in ramen shops. There is no fixed form for Kurume gyoza. The thickness of the skin, the composition of the filling, the folding technique, and the method of grilling—each shop puts its own unique spin on them, and a characteristic feature is the abundance of specialty shops. That is precisely why there is so much joy in comparing them. It makes you want to head out into the city to find your favorite plate.
