Following last year, this will be the second time the event has been held in Fukuoka. This time, 14 gyoza shops, a fried rice booth, and 8 drink and dessert shops will gather.

The gyoza are categorized into "makeup" types, in which the gyoza are decorated with corn kernels, miso sauce, and butter in a pop and cute way; "traditional inheritance" types, in which skilled techniques and recipes are highlighted; and the infinite "synergy" types, which create a synergistic effect by combining the strengths of the store and the appeal of the ingredients. The wide variety of options available is sure to get you excited.
