Japan’s number one frozen gyoza brand –  Ajinomoto Hane-Style Gyoza – arrives in the U.S. this month, kicking off at Philadelphia grocery stores. Ajinomoto Hane-Style Gyoza are the only gyozas on the market featuring the signature “hane” — a delicate, crispy “lace skirt” that forms as they cook. 

To celebrate, Ajinomoto is rolling out a mobile pop-up tour across Philly and NJ (Oct. 23–25), complete with a food truck, chef-led demos, interactive tastings, photo-ready social media moments for fans and foodies.
