Tenma Gyoza Tour 2nd stop is... Gyoza no Motomachi-chan - Niku Niku Gyoza (6 pieces) 500 yen Slightly miso-flavored and sweet, the skin is soft and delicious, but I prefer the shumai here. - Saba Ume Shiso Gyoza (6 pieces) 600 yen Lots of mackerel and shiso, with a hint of plum. - Yuzu Miso Gyoza (6 pieces) 600 yen Strong yuzu flavor, very popular with girls. - Ebi Suigyoza (6 pieces) 600 yen Very shrimp-like, great for tempura lovers. Personally, out of the 4 types of gyoza here, this might be my favorite. - Niku Shumai (4 pieces) 600 yen Very meaty, more meaty than onion, with a chunkier texture than 551, and a rich flavor. I enjoyed it, and I would recommend the shumai over the gyoza here!

Great atmosphere! This Chinese restaurant, located in a quaint town, specializes in gyoza. They have a great selection of alcohol that makes you want to drink, like beer. The menu includes dishes like water spinach, mapo tofu, and steamed clams, all well-seasoned and light, perfect for hot days. Personally, I prefer the classic meat gyoza. I was planning to go to another restaurant in the same group for the second round, so this was just right. I was also interested in dishes like egg fried rice.

In 2023, half a year has already passed. Cozy Papa, who loves to eat and drink, is here again (╹◡╹) Since reviving my food log reviews in 2020, I have been exploring the Temma area, and I have started to be recognized by many restaurant staff in the area. One of my favorite spots is "Gyoza no Kyui-chan," and recently they have updated their menu with some delicious new items. Here are some of the new additions: - Braised Pork Belly (Tonpo-ro) ¥700 - Spring Rolls from Sayonara Tensan ¥700 - Sand Lance Confit ¥500 - Bonito Tataki with Ponzu Sauce ¥600 - Meat Dumplings ¥600 The Braised Pork Belly is a Chinese Zhejiang dish, with tender pork belly in a sweet and savory sauce that melts in your mouth. It's quite a generous portion for the price of ¥700! The Spring Rolls from Sayonara Tensan are crispy and filled with a flavorful mix of pork, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetables, making it a perfect pairing with drinks. The Sand Lance Confit is a voluminous dish with large sand lances cooked in low-temperature oil until soft and tender. The Bonito Tataki with Ponzu Sauce is a traditional dish prepared by a chef with experience in Japanese cuisine, offering a thick and flavorful bonito tataki with a refreshing ponzu sauce. Lastly, the Meat Dumplings, now called "Meat Lump Shumai," are large and meaty, perfect for those who enjoy a hearty meal. "Gyoza no Kyui-chan" is always bustling with customers, and with the updated menu and new staff, it has become even more charming. If you haven't visited yet, I highly recommend checking it out! You'll surely fall in love with the world of Kyui-chan (笑) I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the delicious meal! (*^^*)

Recently, there is a trending Neo-Chinese restaurant called "Sayonara Tensan," which is a standing-style Chinese restaurant. This restaurant has seating available, and the atmosphere inside is lively and suitable for hanging out with friends. The age group tends to be on the younger side. The service is a bit overwhelming and the staff can be a bit unfriendly. When I only wanted to order dim sum, I was told that it would take time and was encouraged to order other dishes as well. I ended up reluctantly ordering appetizers. The lamb dumplings came with a balsamic and fig confiture sauce, which was overly sweet and did not complement the dumplings well. The lamb flavor was not very noticeable, and it would have been better to pair them with cilantro instead. The dumpling skin seemed to be melting. The filling was softer and lacked any distinct smell, unlike the 551 Horai dumplings. The bottom of the dumplings was burnt, which made me wonder if they were pan-fried after steaming or vice versa. I left without fully understanding the appeal of this type of Neo izakaya. The Neo-style restaurants do look impressive though.

When you sprinkle hot white mapo tofu on crispy rice, it makes a satisfying popping sound. The dumplings are meaty and go great with alcohol. I ordered the Gokapi sake, which pairs perfectly with the dumplings and dumplings here. I think the best match for the dumplings and dumplings here is the Gokapi sake highball. Thank you for the delicious meal.

On this day, I was suddenly called by a friend to visit Kyochan! Since I had already eaten dinner, I only had 2-3 spicy potatoes and one plum shiso dumpling. They looked delicious, so I regretted having eaten dinner beforehand. I just kept drinking lemon sour and ended up drunk and sloppy. The interior is very colorful and eye-catching, so girls who aim for Instagram-worthy photos should definitely visit. The food is also delicious, so I recommend it!

It is located where the shops in Temma are lined up. The seasoning is strong and the meat juices are coming out, very delicious!! I ordered gyoza and another dish, and had 2 beers. Beer and gyoza are a perfect match. Temma has a lot of delicious food, so I will continue to enjoy a little snack in the future. Thank you for the meal!

"This restaurant, known for its deliciously meaty shumai and gyoza, is located in Osaka Temma. If you're taking the JR line, you can get off at Temma Station on the Osaka Loop Line, or if you're using the Osaka Metro, you can take the Sakaisuji Line or Tanimachi Line to Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station or the Sakaisuji Line to Ogimachi Station. From the covered shopping arcade that runs north to south, head towards "Ichimatsu Shokuhin Center Ten-go Yokocho" (see photo 1) and the restaurant is located near the exit (see photo 2), covered with a pinkish vinyl curtain. According to information on Tabelog, the restaurant is only open for dinner starting at 6:00 PM, so I had attempted to visit once before around 5:00 PM, but it was already packed with no available seats, so I had to give up. This time, I happened to pass by around 5:00 PM and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, it was already open, and there were a few empty seats at the counter, so I went in. The interior is not very spacious, with seating for about 10 at the counter, one table for 4, and two tables for 2. The customers were mostly young pairs, and I didn't see anyone dining alone (though it could have been a coincidence). The atmosphere was lively with lots of chatter among the guests. I quickly glanced at the menu (see photo 3) and ordered the "Meaty Gyoza" (500 yen), "Meat Shumai" (700 yen), and the "Chinese Mixed Rice" as a closing dish (500 yen), along with a drink, "Oolong Tea" (350 yen). The server kindly warned me that the portions might be too much for one person, but I assured them it was fine. First, the Oolong Tea was served in a glass with the restaurant's logo (see photo 4), showing attention to detail. The "Meaty Gyoza" arrived within 5 minutes (see photo 5), and though they were of a standard size, they were quite juicy with a nice balance of flavors when dipped in black vinegar and chili oil. Next, the "Chinese Mixed Rice" was served (see photo 6), made with sticky rice and generously filled with ingredients like chicken and green beans. The accompanying soup had a gentle saltiness that complemented the dish well. Finally, the highlight, the "Meat Shumai," was served after a few minutes (see photo 7). These were impressively juicy and flavorful, with an added layer of meat on top of the already large shumai. They were indeed meaty and packed a punch. Dipping them in black vinegar and Japanese mustard provided a nice flavor contrast. I finished the meal and the total bill came to 2,050 yen. While it was a bit on the pricey side, the "Meat Shumai" alone made it worth it. The friendly and attentive service from the staff was also a plus. This place seems ideal for a small group gathering as a second stop in the evening."

This place's shumai is amazing! The meat shumai (5 pieces) for 700 yen is huge, fluffy, and juicy. The texture is like steamed and pan-fried, with a delicious crispy bottom. Pair it with some hot Shaoxing wine for a cozy experience. You'll keep craving for more of this tasty shumai. Next, head to a Japanese sake bar in the idol-filled street of Juso. Enjoy some sake and have a happy time.

Tenma: Osaka Gyoza no Kyui-chan @quuichan The second stop on the Tenma food crawl that I've been curious about for a while ♡ I went on a weekday so I was able to get in easily (๑>◡<๑) What I ordered↓ * Meat Gyoza 6 pieces \¥500 * Meat Shumai 5 pieces \¥700 Both are meat! lol I was interested in other menu items but I went with the basics (*´꒳`*) The shumai was really meaty! lol The gyoza was delicious too, but I preferred the shumai! I want to try different flavors, so I want to go back again ♡ #Gyoza no Kyui-chan #Osaka Gyoza #Tenma Gourmet #Osaka Gourmet #Tenroku Gourmet #Tenma Drinking #Osaka Drinking #Tenroku Drinking #Want to connect with gourmet lovers #Gourmet Girls #Gourmet Instagram #Gyoza Instagram #Osaka Travel #Osaka Restaurant #Tenma #Umeda Restaurant #Tenjinbashi #Tenjinbashi Sixth Street

I was recommended by someone to try the shumai here, and it was truly amazing! Even though the restaurant's name has "gyoza" in it, the shumai here is highly recommended!! It's so meaty and delicious, with a satisfying bite to it! If you're hopping around Temma, this shumai will make you want to come back regularly ✌️ It always has that crispy shumai feel, so next time I want to start with this place and try various dishes! Thank you for the amazing shumai as always! I will definitely be back!!!

After leaving the first restaurant, I wandered around Tenma looking for a second place to eat. I happened to come across a sign for gyoza and decided to check it out. The restaurant wasn't very big, with a counter and a few table seats. The meat gyoza and shumai were very meaty and delicious. Despite the compact size of the restaurant, the staff were attentive and ordering was easy. The atmosphere was cozy and I ended up eating too much because the food was so good. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

On the middle day of the 3-day weekend, I went to Temma! Every restaurant was crowded, but luckily we found a seat around 5:00. We ordered beer and gyoza, which took some time, so we also ordered a quick menu item. The menu is limited, but everything is delicious, so I recommend this place. It's a good choice for both the first and second stop of the night.

The potato salad here is amazing, especially with the onion chips. It goes really well with alcohol! We also tried the drool-inducing chicken dish from the quick menu, and it was delicious too. They can leave out the cilantro if you ask. I hope to find a substitute for Wu Jia Pi wine soon.

Looking back on 2022, I think the restaurant I visited the most was "Gyoza no Motomochan." As the name suggests, "Gyoza no Motomochan" is a Chinese bar that specializes in gyoza, but my favorite dish there is the meat shumai! The meat shumai here is so delicious that I crave it if I go a week without eating it (laughs). Sometimes I accompany my friends to this restaurant, and everyone praises the meat shumai. Recently, the price of the meat shumai has increased from 600 yen for 5 pieces to 700 yen for 5 pieces. In this era where the prices of all ingredients are rising, it is inevitable, but surprisingly, the meat shumai here has become even larger and more delicious (@_@). And the meatiness has increased, enhancing its flavor! The staff now ask for the number of pieces you want when you order because eating 5 pieces alone can be quite filling. When I visit alone, I usually order around 3 pieces (*^^*). The photo is from when I visited with 4 people and ordered 8 pieces, with each person having 2 pieces (*^^*). It was our second stop that day, so 2 pieces per person were just right. "Gyoza no Motomochan" is always bustling with many customers. If you haven't tried their meat shumai yet, please do so! You will definitely get hooked (laughs). I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the delicious meal (*^^*).

Gyoza no Kyuichan Address: 5-6-23 Tenjinbashi, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka 530-0041 At Kyuichan, you can enjoy the rare Gokahada-shu (Wu Jia Pi Jiu) The sausage with potato salad was delicious and had a great flavor. The gyoza was packed with meat, as the name suggests, very meaty. The meat shumai goes perfectly with alcohol! I must keep coming back until I try all the menu items. #Gokahada-shu #UniqueBalls #HustleHighball #WantToConnectWithGokahada-shuLovers #GyozaKyuichan #OsakaGokahada-shu

At Temma de Uro Uro: 2022 Autumn Part III, I came for the second time for the challenge of meat shumai♪(´ε｀)ﾅﾊﾊ I ordered the meat shumai and a spicy potato salad♪ The potato salad had a crunchy texture with ingredients like potatoes, sausages, sliced onions, Mizuna greens, and crispy pepper flakes♪ It feels like it's been a while since I had potato salad...(´ε｀) And then, the meat shumai♪ It was big! And there were five of them! Juicy and tender with a fluffy outer layer♪ The chewy and soft texture of the meat was enjoyable♪ It was very satisfying to eat♪ I also received a panda-themed souvenir...(laughs) Thank you for the meal♪(*´ω｀*) I'm so full already after just the second stop... Well, well... (2022/11/03 Update)

I was casually hopping between bars in Temma! And guess what, even though I didn't have a reservation, I managed to get into this new place for me! Temma is filled with well-known restaurants, so no matter how many times you hop between bars, you never get tired of it and can always discover something new, which is great! ▶︎This time's choices‍♀️ ・White Mapo Tofu: It was creamy and slightly spicy, with large chunks of tofu and plenty of meat, giving it a satisfying texture. The flavor with yuzu pepper was refreshing and not boring. ・Gyoza: Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it was so delicious! I ordered two types, and both were a great choice. ・Meat Shumai: Do you know the famous pork buns from that shop? The shumai here was as big as those buns, packed with a lot of meat! Honestly, the shumai was the best here ♡♡ I highly recommend it. They may not have a wide variety of alcohol, but all the dishes are a mix of meat and fat, making you want to order a refreshing drink. The staff is friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and they have both counter and table seating, so you can choose based on whether you want to drink slowly or not. Thank you for the meal! I definitely want to come back here when I visit Temma again.

We stopped by here to finish off after relaxing at an off-meeting in a calm atmosphere that doesn't feel like Temma. Luckily, there was a seat for four available! We ordered beers and chuhai, and shared dishes like dried tofu, gyoza, and shumai. The gyoza was delicious as usual, but the highlight was the shumai, which was upgraded and even more delicious than before. The lively and bustling atmosphere here is also enjoyable. You can't make a reservation, but if there's an opening, don't hesitate to come in. Enjoy the delicious shumai by stuffing your mouth full. Thank you to the staff, the restaurant, the food, and the shumai. Thank you for the meal! (The cost per person this time was ¥1050.)

At Temma de Uro Uro: 2022 Autumn, the third stop♪ A little walk away, you'll find this place♪ I wonder what to call it... (laughs) It's located in Tenroku Yokocho, where vinyl sheet curtains line up, a place I've been to a few times♪ The interior has a mix of counter, tables, and Asian... with a Chinese atmosphere, and cute panda decorations here and there♪ After placing my order, I checked the table menu and debated between the meaty gyoza and the mackerel plum shiso gyoza or the meat shumai... If I had a big appetite, I would've ordered both, but my stomach capacity is limited... The shumai seemed a bit more substantial, so I decided to try the mackerel plum shiso gyoza♪ It takes a bit of time to cook, so the waitress suggested a speedy menu item... I ordered cucumber and dried tofu while considering the volume♪ (Looking back, maybe I could've gone for the shumai... haha) It was my first time trying dried tofu, and it was in noodle-like thin strips, a bit firm, mixed with vinegar and sesame oil? A nice side dish♪ Sipping and waiting... the meaty gyoza... The skin was slightly chewy, packed with filling that was mostly onion? A mochi-like seasoned type♪ The meat juice oozed out of the well-cooked gyoza, enjoyed with vinegar soy sauce and chili oil♪ The mackerel plum shiso gyoza was stick-shaped, with mackerel and plum wrapped in shiso, eaten as is♪ The sweet and sour flavor of shiso and plum, combined with mackerel, was quite enjoyable♪ However, the favorite seems to be the meat shumai? Most customers ordered shumai... (laughs) The friendly waitress and the enjoyable experience made me want to come back... Next time, I'll definitely aim for the shumai♪ Thank you for the meal♪(*´ω｀*) Well well well... (Visited for the first time on 2022/10/2)
