Sept 6, 2008This is why I love Japan. They have what's known as food theme parks. This one that I managed to find in a mall in Ikebukuro has Gyoza Stadium, Ice Cream City, and a couple other things. For the Japanese speaker, there were rides and other stuff for kids to do, including solving a mystery.
Back to the important stuff, the dumplings. They brought in 8-10 well known gyoza makers, and had them all set up shop. Their photo/portrait hung at the top of their stall, iron-chef style, as they all compete to bring in customers. Some were busy, some were sadly empty, but I managed to try stuff from 4 different places. There were two kinds of standard pork, one with shrimp, and one with cheese. I suppose it would have been better with more people, cause then you can try more kinds of dumplings =P. Fairly pricey, around 500 yen for each serving, plus 300 yen to get into the theme park itself.
