Gyoza Hohei, a must-visit popular gyoza restaurant in Gion, Kyoto.

Come to Gion for potstickers, and you'll be thinking about 'Gyoza Hohei.' With the accolades of being one of Japan's top 100 gyoza restaurants and a Michelin recommendation, the lines never seem to shorten. During meal times, expect to wait at least 1.5 hours!

They offer two flavors: chive and ginger. The gyoza skins are thin and crispy, and the juices burst out with every bite, making them incredibly satisfying!

The ginger flavor adds a refreshing touch to the otherwise greasy gyoza, making it less heavy on the palate. A serving of 8 pieces costs ¥600. The chive and pork flavor is more common, but the price is the same. Men can try a plate of each flavor.

However, the seating inside is limited, so it's recommended to register your name early, take a stroll nearby, and then come back to dine. The overall atmosphere is great, and the service remains attentive despite the crowd. It's definitely worth a try.
