"Kailaku Main Store" is about a 1-minute walk from JR Ikebukuro Station. Since its establishment in 1954, it is a popular dumpling shop that incorporates new tastes while valuing the "taste of the good old days with history".
The specialty is "Kailaku special handmade jumbo dumplings"! It is a juicy dish that is made by wrapping a specially made skin with ingredients that use plenty of fresh vegetables and specially ground "ground meat". No preservatives, colorings, stabilizers, etc. are used.
The author ordered a "gyoza set meal" that includes 3 dumplings, rice, soup, and Zha cai. The price is 650 yen (tax included, same below). +120 yen for each additional dumpling. Since it is freshly baked, it takes about 10 minutes from ordering to serving.
The dumplings that have been brought in are so big that you might think, "Is it an optical illusion?" It has too much presence and the rice and soup look miniature. If you put it side by side with the iPhone 7, you can see its size well!
The appearance is quite impactful, but the taste is simple. The spilling ingredients spill out of the chewy skin. The skin is a little thick and has a strong presence, so I wonder if I like it or not. Impression. But the volume is perfect!
The skin is a little thick
Not to mention the set meal, the price of "Pakuchi no Setama Onion Soup Jumbo Dumplings (3 pieces with special leek sauce)", which is limited to 10 meals a day, is 680 yen.
Coriander onion soup jumbo dumplings
Three jumbo dumplings are included in the onion and egg soup. The flavor of coriander is a nice accent.
"Who is a special leek" is doing a particularly good job! Just add this to the soup and it will add a lot of flavor and add depth to the taste. I want to buy this sauce and go home ...
Pay attention to the sauce!
Just add it quickly to improve the taste!
A special jumbo dumpling from Ikebukuro "Kailaku" that has a great impact on the appearance and makes you hungry. To go items are also sold at the store, so it is recommended as a souvenir. If you have trouble with rice in Ikebukuro, why not take a look?
