Kusatsu Station East Exit, 3 min — hand-wrapped gyoza, boiled dumplings and a Chinese izakaya
Hand-wrapped, with a crisp lace skirt.
Hand-wrapped gyoza with a crisp lace skirt, and the air of a Shanghai diner — here in Kusatsu.
In Shibukawa, Kusatsu, Shiga — a 3-minute walk from the East Exit of JR Kusatsu Station. Inside, the room recalls a Shanghai or Hong Kong diner, and the star is our hand-wrapped juicy gyoza. Every skin is made and folded by hand, and it fries up with a crisp lace skirt.
Boiled dumplings come in five kinds — shrimp, coriander, shiso, green pepper and lamb. All our gyoza are made without garlic, so you can drop in after work or on a weekend afternoon without a second thought.
The pork is Kurao Pork Baumkuchen Pork, a brand pork from Shiga, and the recipes are supervised by Gyoza Mania — a gyoza specialist awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019. Our house-made zha cai is free-flow, and with counter seats it is easy to stop by alone.

How to enjoy hand-wrapped gyoza and boiled dumplings
Four simple steps to get the most out of gyoza made from the skin up.
-
01
First, take a bite “as is”
Crisp outside, juicy inside — first enjoy the fragrant lace skirt with nothing on it.
-
02
Then try the boiled ones
Boiled dumplings have a thicker, chewier skin than the fried ones. Try the five kinds side by side.
-
03
Break it up with a small plate
Yodare-dori, bang bang chicken or smashed cucumber resets the palate between rounds.
-
04
Finish with rice or noodles
Round it off with lu rou fan, salted pork fried rice or zhajiang noodles.
Tip: our gyoza contain no garlic, so they are easy to enjoy before meeting someone.

What makes Nadeshico Gyoza-ro’s gyoza and sakaba special
What makes a hand-wrapped gyoza different?
We make the skins ourselves and fold every dumpling by hand. Fried, they lift a crisp lace skirt and the filling stays juicy; boiled, the same skin turns thick and chewy. The filling uses Kurao Pork Baumkuchen Pork, a brand pork from Shiga, and the recipes are supervised by Gyoza Mania, a gyoza specialist awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019. Four pieces from ¥462 (incl. tax).
Why are the gyoza made without garlic?
None of our gyoza use garlic. That means you can stop by on the way home from work, or before meeting someone, and still eat as much as you like. The flavour comes from the pork and the hand-made skin rather than from garlic, so the boiled dumplings in particular taste clean and light.
What is Kurao Pork Baumkuchen Pork?
Kurao Pork Baumkuchen Pork is a brand pork raised in Shiga Prefecture, and we use it in the filling of our gyoza. It is one reason the gyoza hold their juices without relying on garlic. The room itself is built to recall a Shanghai or Hong Kong diner, with a neon sign, so the food and the setting belong to the same place.
How to use our takeout
Takeout runs from 17:00 to 23:00. Calling ahead on 077-599-1770 makes the handover quicker. Because there is no garlic, the gyoza are easy to take home and eat later, and the boiled dumplings travel particularly well. Please check with our staff for the dishes available to take away on the day.
What our guests say
以前偶然通りかかってずっと気になっていたお店。店の雰囲気もよく本場の味が味わえて最高でした。通いたくなりました。 わかりやすく丁寧に接客してくださり、オススメしてくださったもの全て注文しました。 私は焼き餃子と水餃子とポテサラがとても印象に残っています。夫はよだれどり絶賛でエビマヨに感動していました。どれもおいしかったです。 どこの中華料理屋さんでも食べられるメニューだけどクオリティーが段違い。ナデシコさんならではの工夫も素敵
値段と内容のバランスがよい 細かい人数変更等にも対応してもらえ助かりました エンジェルさんも一生懸命で好感持てました 水餃子各種、シンプルに美味しかった
草津駅近くの餃子居酒屋。せんべろがあって気軽にサクッと飲めるのが嬉しいです。 餃子は皮がもちもちで肉汁たっぷり、特にルーローハンが絶品でおすすめ！ 餃子以外の中華おつまみもあって、飲み会にも使いやすいお店です。
選べるせんべろ、おすすめです！ 確実にお得なので出来れば18時までに入店した方が良いと思います 餃子は焼き餃子、シソ水餃子、ラムとトマトとパクチー水餃子をいただきました 焼き餃子とラムとトマトとパクチー水餃子が美味しかったです 皮がモチモチで、味がしっかりしてるので、タレとかは要らない感じです お客さんは5割くらいの混みでしたが、 焼き餃子は注文してから10-20分くらい、水餃子は注文してから40分くらいかかりました 水餃子は早めに頼んだ方が良いです
台湾ポイ雰囲気に誘われて入りました。 羽つき餃子美味しかったです。 ピーマンの水餃子も小籠包みたいで美味しかったです。付き出しのざーざいはお代わり自由ですからお得感満載です。 甘いマスクの店長や女性スタッフやその他皆様の接客が心地よかったです。 残念なのは紹興酒の扱いが低い点です。 私は本格的な中華料理によく行きますが、 どこも紹興酒はボトルで一万、三万、五万等と高級な銘柄を多数取り扱っています。 これだけ本格的な雰囲気を出しているのなら、それなりに高くてもいいので美味しい紹興酒を飲みながら、美味しいお料理を食べたいお客様もおられると思いますのでご検討ください。 若さ溢れるお店で、草津に再訪した時は是非立ち寄りたいです。ご馳走様でした
