Hirome and Yasubei

Hirome de Yasubei is the shop operated inside Hirome Market by the famous Kochi yatai gyoza stall Yasubei. Yasubei, originally a riverside yatai, is one of Kochi’s gyoza spots, and when it opens in Hirome Market it is called “Hirome de Yasubei.” It is so popular that some people order multiple rounds of gyoza alone. The thin skins are fried-grilled until crisp, and the filling is packed with vegetables, so you can eat many without feeling heavy. In Hirome Market, it’s easy to visit even on rainy days, making it popular with female tourists as well. In Hirome Market’s lively system—secure a seat, then order from any shop—almost everyone ends up ordering Yasubei’s gyoza. Enjoy “Hirome de Yasubei” gyoza alongside other Kochi specialties like straw-seared katsuo tataki and beer. It’s delicious even for those who don’t drink alcohol. Access is a 3-minute walk from the Tosaden “Ohashidori” stop.
