Gyoza and Nothing but Gyoza

Name: Hakone Gyoza Center / 箱根餃子センター
Style: Gyoza!
Neighborhood: Choukoku no Mori in Hakone / 箱根の彫刻の森嬖
Website: http://www.gyozacenter.com/

Thanks to Ben's guidebook reading and persistent reminders, after we finished up at the Hakone Open Air Museum, we decided to walk a few minutes uphill to find a Gyoza specialty restaurant he had read about.

It was fun! We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table (it was a holiday weekend, after all), but then we sat down and selected from among the 20 or so kinds of Gyoza available (happily for me, including chicken and beef Gyoza). Everything we had was good, including the local Hakone-san / 箱根山 sake that Hunter tried!

While munching through all the food, we decided that a Gyoza specialty restaurant would do just fine in SF -- any restaurant investors out there?
