Adventures in Japan

Nothing beats a fried dumpling!

Well tonight we visited our first food theme park, Naniwa Gyoza Stadium. Basically what it was, was a collection of stalls where you could buy various types of Japanese pot stickers. Now I can't really tell the difference between gyoza made Osaka-style from gyoza made Tokyo-style, so I guess all the subtleties were lost on me, but the decor was pretty spiffy. And the gyoza were definitely tasty (if maybe a little expensive). I bet it would have been a lot more interesting if we'd been able to read more of the signs around us detailing the history and the distinctive qualities of one type of gyoza or another. Hmmm, maybe instead of spending all our time wandering around and eating we should do a bit more studying...
