If you are a citizen of Hamamatsu, you can name your favorite gyoza restaurant and say, “I love the gyoza here!”
“Hamamatsu Gyoza” is one of the local foods that cannot be overstated.
Currently, there are approximately 80 gyoza specialty shops in Hamamatsu City, and over 300 gyoza shops.
Hamamatsu gyoza is extremely popular all over the country.
The definition of “Hamamatsu Gyoza” is “made in Hamamatsu City” and “people who have lived in Hamamatsu City for more than 3 years”.
There are two examples.
What is the history of Hamamatsu Gyoza that is rooted in Hamamatsu City?
As I was thinking about this, I started to want to eat the original Hamamatsu gyoza.
Established in front of Hamamatsu Station in 1952, we carefully select ingredients in Hamamatsu, the gyoza hotspot, and always pursue the best taste to satisfy the taste buds of gyoza connoisseurs!
This time I visited Ishimatsu Gyoza main store!
The first thing that catches your eye is a gyoza object with a circular shape and a bean sprout in the middle!
I can’t help but want to bite back.

20 carloads
This Kurumori… As the name suggests, it comes from the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage.
The first owner was from Morimachi. Speaking of forests, yes! Ishimatsu in the forest!
The origin of the name Ishimatsu Gyoza comes from the birthplace of the first owner.
One of the most eye-catching things at the forest festival held in early November every year is the motorcycle stalls.
The wheels on this food stall also remind me of Ishimatsu gyoza carts.
The first generation of the company first sold gyoza at a stall in front of the station in 1952.
Originally, we baked them vertically, but the number of customers increased day by day.
It seems that it all started when people took full advantage of the round shape of frying pans and arranged them in a beautiful circle.
The circular shape (shaped in a car) that is now synonymous with Hamamatsu Gyoza dates back to 70 years ago when the first generation created it in front of Hamamatsu Station.
The sweet cabbage goes perfectly with the pork, giving it a simple yet deep flavor.
The thin, smooth and chewy skin is packed with deliciousness.
This masterpiece combines the ingredients, the skin, and the sauce.
I’m so lucky to have met you!!! I feel the joy of meeting you with all my being.
I can’t help but look like this.
Uh, wow, delicious! ! ! Ishimatsu gyoza goes well with the slightly sweet secret sauce.
The slightly sweet secret sauce makes for a great presentation.
The gyoza master doesn’t stop there.
Here comes a supporter for beautiful skin! “Yuzu pepper” using yuzu
You can also eat it as is with a little bit of it on your gyoza! You can also add it to the sauce!
The spicy yuzu pepper also stimulates your appetite.
Even if you add it to the bean sprouts to rest your chopsticks on, it’s also good.
The first generation thought of something to add to the space in the middle of the wheels, and after much trial and error, they arrived at bean sprouts!
Because it’s not in season, we can provide it to customers all year round and it doesn’t interfere with the gyoza…
It goes without saying that the humble bean sprouts take center stage on the plate.
Teritama Gyoza was created for children.
The fluffy egg salad and teriyaki sauce are irresistible.
This combination is a favorite not only for children but also for all Japanese people.
The white rice goes on.
Ishimatsu Gyoza boasts a history of 70 years.
It is not only the taste that has been inherited, but also the method of baking.
The uniformity of cooking and the beauty of the finished product are a Hamamatsu specialty.
When I suddenly looked up…
Huh? Is this light also suitable for cars? ! My head was full of gyoza.
Ishimatsu Gyoza not only has gyoza, but also a wide variety of other menu items.
We also sell takeout and frozen gyoza.
Ishimatsu Gyoza was founded in 1952, and the taste and passion that have remained unchanged for over 70 years are still being passed down.
Feeling the 70-year history of gyoza that injects vitality into your special day… or even your everyday life.
Why not give it a try?

Luxury time for adults to enjoy the extraordinary ♡ Old folk house inn with a sauna for rent [Atagoya ATAGOYA]
There is the extraordinary experience of being curious and seeing things you have never seen before, and the extraordinary experience of doing nothing.
Everyone is busy every day in various positions and situations.How about a luxurious time as an adult where you can return to your true self, rather than the title of section manager, manager, husband, wife, father, or mother?
The inn I would like to introduce this time is “Atagoya ATAGOYA” located in Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City.
Before the coronavirus, I spent about 200 days a year overseas, moving between hotels in various countries, and this is one of the accommodations I would really recommend.
Now in its 26th year, the Hamamatsu Tourist Volunteer Guide Association is a specialist in Hamamatsu tourism.
The Hamamatsu Volunteer Tourism Guide Association is a group of Hamamatsu guides who come together to promote the tourism industry, including Hamamatsu’s history, culture, and industry.
As of the end of February 2025, the group has 130 members, making it the largest volunteer guide group in the prefecture.
They are active at Hamamatsu Castle, Hamamatsu Station, Saigagake Museum, and Hamamatsu Festival Hall.
Each member guides visitors with a spirit of hospitality, not only from outside the prefecture, but also to people from Hamamatsu city and surrounding cities and towns, with the hope that they will “rediscover Hamamatsu’s wonderful history and culture.”
In 2020, the association’s activities were recognized and it was awarded the “Fujinokuni-Shizuoka Tourism Award Encouragement Award” by Shizuoka Prefecture.
Visiting shrines related to Lord Ieyasu around Hamamatsu Castle/Ieyasu’s walking route (inside/downtown route) Part 2
Tokugawa Ieyasu, one of the Three Great Heroes, spent 17 of his 75 years in the prime of his youth in Hamamatsu. As a result, there are still places around Hamamatsu Castle that are connected to Lord Ieyasu.
The “Castle Inner/Castle Route” of “Ieyasu’s Promenade” is a route that connects 12 of them so that you can visit them with a single stroke. This time we will be showing you the south side of this route from Hamamatsu Castle. Don’t forget to take the leaflet before leaving!
