Nice! We’ve got our ticket to Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture!
Tochigi Prefecture
Utsunomiya Gyoza 宇都宮餃子
These wonderful little dumplings are so popular in Tochigi Prefecture that there are around 200 speciality restaurants in Utsunomiya City alone! Utsunomiya is in constant competition with Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, for the highest consumption of their gyoza. The dumplings contain finely chopped meat and vegetables and go very well with a little soy sauce and chilli oil. They are generally grilled on a hot griddle, but steamed and fried versions are also available.
Shiomame Daifuku 塩豆大福
A ‘daifuku’ is a mochi rice cake, usually with a filling. This one has salt and beans, and is famous in Tochigi Prefecture. It’s the perfect dessert for those who don’t have a sweet tooth, and also a great snack while you’re out and about.
Fried Potato 芋フライ
No, this isn’t simply a chip (or a ‘fry’, as my American brothers and sisters would say), it’s a delicious skewer of potato, battered and covered in crumbs before being fried. It can be topped with a variety of sauces, but it goes particularly well with the sweet soy-based sauce that is so often eaten with fried foods on skewers, or kushi katsu. We’ll be learning more about them when we get to Osaka. Oops, sorry for the spoiler!

It costs 1,690 yen to get from Utsunomiya to Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture. As I’m sure you can guess, I know Mito and Ibaraki Prefecture pretty well. So let’s get to 44,760 yen, you can come to my apartment for a drink, then sample some of the delights of this wonderful place!
