SAPPORO Gyoza Seizosho Tanukikoji

SAPPORO Gyoza Seizosho is a popular restaurant in Sapporo known for serving freshly made gyoza straight from the factory. While there are multiple locations in the city, the Tanukikoji branch is especially popular, located in the historic "Sapporo Tanukikoji Shopping Street," Hokkaido's oldest shopping arcade. Among the 200 shops that line the bustling street, this location always draws a large crowd.

The standout feature of the gyoza at "SAPPORO Gyoza Seizosho" is the slightly thick, chewy skin. Made with a unique processing method, the thicker skin still provides a smooth texture, perfect whether grilled, steamed, or boiled. The filling, wrapped in this special dough, combines Hokkaido-grown vegetables, domestic beef, and a secret blend of seasonings. In addition to their standard gyoza, they offer large gyoza for those looking to savor even more of the delicious filling and dough.

For the perfect pairing, try their gyoza alongside Hokkaido's beloved soul food, zangi (fried chicken). The zangi comes with a sweet sauce that complements both rice and alcohol, making it a favorite for many. If you want to enjoy both, the "Seizosho Set Meal," which includes large gyoza and zangi, is highly recommended.
