Yoshinoya is giving hungry consumers a snackable new option with the launch of its new Gyoza.
For those unfamiliar, gyoza is a type of dumpling popular in Japan that's usually filled with a mixture of finely minced pork, mushrooms, and cabbage. Yoshinoya's new Gyoza consists of flash fried potsticker dumplings filled with a blend of pork, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Each order of Gyozas is also served with a flavorful Gyoza sauce on the side for dipping. The Gyozas are served in five or 10-piece orders for $3 and $5 respectively – although prices may vary by location.
If you're looking to sample the new Gyozas, these savory dumplings are available now from participating Yoshinoya locations.
