Golden, fragrant pan-fried dumplings::Busho::Fukuoka City::Kyushu

Every time I watch “Iron Chef” and see those delicious dishes, my mouth waters uncontrollably—I just want to fly to Japan and dig in right away～Especially the pan-fried dumplings with their golden, crispy exteriors, sizzling on the griddle, they’re simply irresistible!

“Busho,” located by Haruyoshi Bridge in Fukuoka City, is a long-established shop with nearly 20 years of history. Passersby can smell the savory, crispy, and delicious aroma of the pan-fried dumplings, which keeps the place constantly packed with a long queue. The shop’s signature item is its hand-made, bite-sized dumplings—small and easy to eat, becoming more enjoyable with each bite. The owner insists on offering the most authentic and hearty flavors, never cutting corners on fillings or dough, and finally placing the dumplings on the griddle until the wrappers turn golden and crispy, releasing a rich fragrance that makes your mouth water!

Pan-fried dumplings represent traditional Chinese cuisine for the Japanese. Unlike Taiwanese pan-fried dumplings, Japanese ones are usually small—just the right size for one bite. The Japanese often order a plate of pan-fried dumplings to go with their ramen, considering them a “side dish” rather than a “main course.” You can even see Japanese characters eating pan-fried dumplings with plain rice in Japanese dramas.

Besides that, the chicken wings and braised beef tendons at “Busho” are also among the signature dishes. The chicken wings have thin skin and tender meat, while the beef tendons are slow-cooked to perfection, offering a soft yet chewy texture that’s very appetizing.
