"Okonomi Gyoza" Combining the Owner's Gyoza and Okonomiyaki

"Okonomi Gyoza," an original creation from the owner of "Mascat," uses gyoza wrappers in an okonomiyaki-inspired preparation and has become one of the restaurant's signature dishes. Sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes create a nostalgic flavor with an irresistibly savory character. Well suited as an accompaniment to beer, cocktails, sours, shochu, whiskey, and other drinks, the dish also works well for sharing at the table. This distinctive take on classic gyoza is one of the restaurant's standout specialties.
