We love Japanese dumplings (gyouza).

There are many kinds of gyoza in the world, but in Japan, gyoza means pan-fried dumplings.

Pan-fried dumplings
＝焼き餃子(yaki-gyouza)

Japanese dumplings has a lot of garlic in it.
I think there are few Japanese people who don't like gyoza. At least, there are none around me.
The charm of Japanese gyoza is that it contains lots of garlic, chives and other savory vegetables!
The thin and crispy skin is also another characteristic of Japanese gyoza.
That's delicious, but be careful of the smell from your mouth the next day.

So many people in jobs where they meet people and women refrain from eating them. I used to eat gyoza only on Fridays or Saturdays.
But lately I have been eating them anytime I want.

Why?

It's because we all wear masks and they don't smell.😁

Dumplings bought at the supermarket 
Bake-only frozen dumplings are a busy person's best friend! 
I looked up what kind of dumplings we could buy at the supermarket.
The left side of the photo is from Utsunomiya(宇都宮)  City, Tochigi Prefecture, famous for its gyoza.
This is a slightly smaller dumpling.
It contains a lot of gyoza and the price is reasonable, about 200 yen.
These are the gyoza of Ippudo, a ramen restaurant that has expanded overseas. The price is high, about 500 yen!

Convenience is the key to frozen dumplings.
Frozen dumplings are convenient because they have a long shelf life.
In addition, the ones that are designed to cut corners are the latest craze.👍

It says that you don't need to add water or cover it with a lid.

Oh, I can't wait to have some dumplings and beer!🍻

A famous gyoza shop in Kyoto, Ohsho.
The most famous gyoza restaurant in Kyoto is Ohsho. Takeaways are also popular, and you can buy them before they are cooked.

I've been looking into it and now I want to eat it!😂

Making dumplings at home
Making dumplings at home is a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun. I guess you could say it's an event.
It is fun to make gyoza skins by hand, and the homemade skins are glutinous and delicious.
However, it is difficult to make the crust thin, so it is common to buy the crust from the supermarket.
Next time I have a chance to make homemade dumplings, I'll write a post about it.

Yebisu beer speciality bar in Kyoto

Does anyone here like beer? I like Yebisu beer the best. What is Yebis? Yebisu is the name of this god. He is the god of good fortune who brings prosperity in fishing and business. Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  In front of Kyoto station, there is a Yebisu beer speciality bar. In this bar, we can enjoy some kind of Yebisu beer. Here is the menu. There are so many different kinds, it's hard to decide. I chose one based on the chart for acidity and richness. It looked so good that I forgot to take a picture and just took a sip.😂 The beer foam is fine and delicious! Yebisu floated up from the coaster after I enjoyed beer.💕 There is an Yebisu figurine at the counter. . If you look closely, you'll see that Ebisu is holding a beer! Hahaha🤣 Offering money to the gods is probably the Japanese style. May you be blessed.✨ −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  Address Kyoto Yodobashi 1F, 59...

Why don't Japanese people say "I love you"? (3)

Today's article is a continuation of the previous article, "Why don't Japanese people say I love you? This is the third article in the series. If you haven't read it yet, please read it from the beginning. 今日の記事は先日の「日本人はなぜ愛してると言わないのか」というテーマの続きです。今回はシリーズ3回目の記事です。 まだ読んでいない方は、初めから読んでみてください。 🔶 1回目の記事はこちら 🔶 2回目の記事はこちら In my previous article, I talked about the cultural background of Japanese people's understanding of other people's emotions through trivial facial expressions and actions. 日本人が相手の感情を些細な表情や行動で理解する文化的背景について、前回の記事でお話しました。 Due to our cultural background and education, I believe that Japanese people have a very high capacity for empathy. I have often heard people who have traveled to Japan say that many people are kind to them when they visit Japan. This may be because we Japanese feel as if we are the ones who are in trouble when people around us are in trouble. 文化的な背景や教育の影響で、日本人の共感する力はとても高いと思います。よく日本に行くと親切にしてくれる人が多いと、日本に旅行に来た方が言うのを聞いたことがあります。これは周りの人が困っ...
