This Tokyo hidden gem is located just a minute walk from the JR Shimbashi Station Karasu Mori Exit in Tokyo. So the kitchen chefs apparently don’t speak much Japanese and my Chinese is non-existent so yeah, I’m a bit anxious about this one. The restaurant was originally opened by Kamiyama san more than 20 years ago in 1987 in Tokyo. It was just her at a small counter bar, but after some time the word from her customers about her amazing Gyoza dumplings started to spread. So much so, that all the new business helped her move and open up her very first restaurant at the location we’re in today. In fact, in Japan, Chinese food is very much a part of Japanese food culture, making up about 14% of the restaurants which is even more than sushi restaurants at 8%. Kamiyama san is originally from Shenyang, a prosperous city in Northeast China, known to be the birthplace of gyoza. She grew up with her grandmother who was skilled at cooking amazing meat buns and dim sum and who taught her the traditional Chinese gyoza recipe that she uses today inspiring her to follow her true passion to cook. The central kitchen is the heart of the operation and is the reason why Kamiyama san is able to consistently produce and maintain the quality of her signature mouth-watering gyoza that her customers have come to love.
