Background of "Truffle Gyoza" Development

Gyoza that can be enjoyed without worrying about the smell" × "Luxury that only eating out can offer

We developed this product because we wanted everyone to enjoy the national dish of gyoza without worrying about the smell, just like "ginger gyoza," a standard item for foot soldiers, and also because we wanted to offer a luxury dining experience that is one rank higher than the popular "ginger gyoza" and cannot be easily reproduced at home. We developed this product because we wanted to provide a luxurious dining experience that could not be easily reproduced at home.

Characteristics of "Truffle Gyoza" 

(1) Exquisite synergy of black truffle and ginger

The rich aroma and deep flavor of black truffle is added to Ayubei's original bean paste made with fresh ginger from Kochi Prefecture. This has resulted in a one-of-a-kind gyoza that cannot be tasted anywhere else.

(2) Hand-prepared

All gyoza are prepared by hand every day by craftsmen at each restaurant with great care. The time-consuming process and recipe unique to GYOZA HOHEI make for a luxurious dish that maximizes the flavors of black truffle and ginger.

GYOZA HOHEI is known for its small, elegant gyoza dumplings with a perfect balance of crispy, savory little wings and fluffy, light special gyoza filling. The restaurant offers two types of gyoza: "Ginger Gyoza," which was developed by a chef who spent a year and a half traveling throughout Japan and worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant, and the standard "Gyoza" with garlic and chives.

"GYOZA HOHEI" started in 2011 with only 6 seats at the counter. As the name HOHEI" in the restaurant name implies, we have always kept our original intentions in mind and have been moving forward tirelessly, just like a chess piece "HOHEI" who moves forward step by step. Last year, we opened our first overseas branch in Paris, and have grown to the point where our delicious Kyoto gyoza is now available overseas as well.

Our new product, "Truffle Gyoza", is a casual gyoza with a luxurious flavor that does not compromise the elegant ambassador style of our past products. We hope you will spend a peaceful time at GYOZA HOHEI, enjoying the live performance of our open kitchen in a relaxed atmosphere with the warmth of wood in the motif of a Kyoto machiya (traditional townhouse).

We look forward to your continued patronage at the ever-evolving GYOZA HOHEI.
