[Hamamatsu Recommended Gourmet] It’s time for gyoza

If you are a citizen of Hamamatsu, you can name your favorite gyoza restaurant and say, “I love the gyoza here!”

“Hamamatsu Gyoza” is one of the local foods that cannot be overstated.

Currently, there are approximately 80 gyoza specialty shops in Hamamatsu City, and over 300 gyoza shops.

Hamamatsu gyoza is extremely popular all over the country.

The definition of “Hamamatsu Gyoza” is “made in Hamamatsu City” and “people who have lived in Hamamatsu City for more than 3 years”.

There are two examples.

What is the history of Hamamatsu Gyoza that is rooted in Hamamatsu City?

As I was thinking about this, I started to want to eat the original Hamamatsu gyoza.

This month's "Ayano's Recommendations! ” is Ishimatsu Gyoza, which boasts a 70-year history! !

 

Established in front of Hamamatsu Station in 1952, we carefully select ingredients in Hamamatsu, the gyoza hotspot, and always pursue the best taste to satisfy the taste buds of gyoza connoisseurs!

This time I visited Ishimatsu Gyoza main store!

The first thing that catches your eye is a gyoza object with a circular shape and a bean sprout in the middle!

I can’t help but want to bite back.

This Kurumori… As the name suggests, it comes from the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage.

The first owner was from Morimachi. Speaking of forests, yes! Ishimatsu in the forest!

The origin of the name Ishimatsu Gyoza comes from the birthplace of the first owner.

One of the most eye-catching things at the forest festival held in early November every year is the motorcycle stalls.

The wheels on this food stall also remind me of Ishimatsu gyoza carts.

The first generation of the company first sold gyoza at a stall in front of the station in 1952.

Originally, we baked them vertically, but the number of customers increased day by day.

It seems that it all started when people took full advantage of the round shape of frying pans and arranged them in a beautiful circle.

The circular shape (shaped in a car) that is now synonymous with Hamamatsu Gyoza dates back to 70 years ago when the first generation created it in front of Hamamatsu Station.

The sweet cabbage goes perfectly with the pork, giving it a simple yet deep flavor.

The thin, smooth and chewy skin is packed with deliciousness.

This masterpiece combines the ingredients, the skin, and the sauce.

I’m so lucky to have met you!!! I feel the joy of meeting you with all my being.

I can’t help but look like this.

Uh, wow, delicious! ! ! Ishimatsu gyoza goes well with the slightly sweet secret sauce.

The slightly sweet secret sauce makes for a great presentation.

The gyoza master doesn’t stop there.

Here comes a supporter for beautiful skin! “Yuzu pepper” using yuzu

You can also eat it as is with a little bit of it on your gyoza! You can also add it to the sauce!

The spicy yuzu pepper also stimulates your appetite.

Even if you add it to the bean sprouts to rest your chopsticks on, it’s also good.

The first generation thought of something to add to the space in the middle of the wheels, and after much trial and error, they arrived at bean sprouts!

Because it’s not in season, we can provide it to customers all year round and it doesn’t interfere with the gyoza…

It goes without saying that the humble bean sprouts take center stage on the plate.

 

Teritama Gyoza was created for children.

The fluffy egg salad and teriyaki sauce are irresistible.

This combination is a favorite not only for children but also for all Japanese people.

The white rice goes on.

 

Ishimatsu Gyoza boasts a history of 70 years.

It is not only the taste that has been inherited, but also the method of baking.

The uniformity of cooking and the beauty of the finished product are a Hamamatsu specialty.

When I suddenly looked up…

Huh? Is this light also suitable for cars? ! My head was full of gyoza.

 

Ishimatsu Gyoza not only has gyoza, but also a wide variety of other menu items.

We also sell takeout and frozen gyoza.

Ishimatsu Gyoza was founded in 1952, and the taste and passion that have remained unchanged for over 70 years are still being passed down.

Feeling the 70-year history of gyoza that injects vitality into your special day… or even your everyday life.

Why not give it a try?

Grand opening of “What to do with Ieyasu Hamamatsu Taiga Drama Museum” with Hamamatsu Castle in the background! Information about the attractions within the museum

“What to do with Ieyasu Hamamatsu Taiga Drama Museum” will have its grand opening on March 18, 2023!

On display inside the museum are costumes and tools that appeared in the drama. You can also enjoy the sets used in the shooting and original footage.

The sales floor of the “Shusse Town Ieyasu SHOP” in “Hamamatsu Shusse Park” where the Taiga Drama Museum is located has also been renovated!(These facilities are already closed)

Founded in 1891. Kogiku, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Hamamatsu, caters to a wide range of generations with its traditional and innovative sweets

Founded 137 years ago.

Kogiku, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Hamamatsu, reopened two years ago as a factory direct sales store in Kanda-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, with a stylish, modern Japanese atmosphere so that younger generations can easily enjoy Japanese sweets.

The store has been renovated to a “drive-through” style, which is unusual for a confectionery store, and “We have received feedback from regular customers and users alike, such as “It’s convenient to be able to purchase the confectionery you want without having to get out of your car.” says Ms. Iyona Kamei, who is in charge of planning and manufacturing.

After marrying the eldest son of the founding family, Ms. Kamei jumped into the confectionery industry from medical administration. In response to the words of the current president, “I would like to see a breath of fresh air,” the company is working to develop and manufacture new products while preserving tradition.

In this month’s recommendation, we’d like to introduce Kogiku, a confectionery shop that continues to take on new challenges while valuing tradition.

Anti-aging without waiting for spring with pure white onions from Shinohara, which is the earliest harvested in Japan!

Blood thinning, fatigue recovery, constipation relief, and anti-aging. All of these are health words that you may be interested in.

There’s something about this health word that really hits home. Onions are a classic vegetable that everyone knows. You can boil it, stir-fry it, or have it in Japanese, Western, or Chinese style! It is a versatile ingredient.

I think many people are aware of the high nutritional value of onions, which have been featured frequently on health programs in recent years, but did you know that onions are sensitive to heat and water? It is said that eating raw is the best way to absorb nutrients more effectively. However, regular onions have a uniquely strong spiciness and are difficult to eat raw.

Therefore, I would like to recommend pure white onions from Shinohara, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, which are less spicy. They are the earliest onions in Japan to be shipped early in the new year, and are delicious and can be eaten raw.

Harvested white onions from Shinohara with pure white skin.

Speaking of onions that can be eaten raw, “new onions” are in season from spring to early summer (March to May). Shinohara-grown white onions are faster than that. It will be available from January, right after the New Year. The Shinohara district is located in the south of Hamamatsu City, close to the sea. The region has been a thriving producer of onions since the Meiji era, with a warm climate suitable for growing onions, sandy soil with good drainage, and a high groundwater level.

However, rather than the typical brown onions with dry skins, the onions produced here are harvested with green leaves and are shipped immediately. It is shipped under names such as “salad onion,” “white onion,” and “white onion.”
