Iizuka, Japan
Wang Xiang
Wang Xiang puts Iizuka into Japan’s gyoza conversation through a small, low-priced format recognized in Tabelog’s Dumplings 100 for 2024. The appeal is less about ceremony than sourcing logic: dumplings, kara-age, beef dishes, sake, and shochu in a house-restaurant setting that treats regional casual dining with unusual seriousness.
