 Congratulations Linfred!  More power to you!!




 There are three kinds of gyoza – Original, Cheese and Nori ( Seaweed )

 Original 

  Cheese – Parmesan and Gruyere

 Nori

I like it that there are options for sauces, I like the miso aside from the usual black vinegar sauce.  There’s a chili sauce also  gyoza-sauces-osaka-ohsho-1.JPG

 Aside from gyoza is an extensive menu with many to choose from 

 They use a premium kind of Japanese rice, Koshihikari
