Gyoza Fes Tokyo 2017

It's looking like a real dumpling dust-up at Komazawa Park in March, when 19 gyoza shops from all over Japan will be treating hungry attendees to copious amounts of beer-compatible bites over the long weekend. In addition to standard pan-fried gyoza, you'll be able to choose from boiled and deep-fried versions or opt for some even more unorthodox creations ('Italian' gyoza, anyone?). The longest queues will probably form in front of the stall run by Danta, the Takanawa eatery known as former PM Junichiro Koizumi's go-to haunt.
