A New Chapter for Izumontenzan Gyoza in Gion

On September 17, 2023, Izumontenzan, a renowned gyoza restaurant located on Hanamikoji Street in Gion, welcomed patrons with a splendidly renovated interior. Frequented by the elegant maiko, this establishment has wonderfully embraced its traditional Kyoto roots.

Izumontenzan has earned a reputation for its light and crispy gyoza, which are perfectly sized for a delightful bite. Unlike many others, these gyoza feature garlic powder instead of raw garlic, bringing a refined flavor to each piece. The restaurant is excited to invite everyone to enjoy their revamped offerings in a setting that radiates the charm of Kyoto.

Highlights of the Menu

• - Unique Garlic Flavoring: The gyoza’s flavor is enhanced with garlic powder, ensuring a delightful aroma without overpowering the palate. Freshly squeezed cabbage is blended to achieve the right texture, maintaining the lightness that many love.
• - Premium Ingredients: The pork filling is made from Kyoto's specialty pork, known as "Kyoto Pork." This prized meat is seasoned well and is accompanied by a thoughtful balance of vegetables and subtle spices, resulting in a taste that is rich yet light, perfect for repeated enjoyment.
• - Freshly Made On-site: Each aspect of gyoza preparation—from the filling to folding—is crafted in-house, allowing diners to experience the freshness and deep flavors of simple yet quality ingredients. Premium beef and pork are enveloped in specially crafted thin wrappers, which are then grilled to perfection for a crispy finish.
• - Perfect Pairing: In the spirit of fall in Kyoto, the refreshing cucumber pairs beautifully with Izumontenzan’s gyoza, enhancing the overall dining experience. This combination not only hydrates but also accentuates the gyoza's flavor, providing a serene moment in the picturesque autumn landscape of Kyoto.
