Kona Cream Croquette ( crab meat suspended in a cream sauce, encased in a deep-fried, breaded shell. This crunchy, golden brown coating forms a rigid enclosure which breaks apart when you bite into it, revealing the hot oozing filling.)

Wow, softshell crab with ponzu... :bonk: As simple as ponzu is, I've become a fan of it... Wonder how it'll work with gyoza....? :headscratch:
yeah tempura battered softshell crab and ponzu is a classic combo...never had gyoza with ponzu usually just soy sauce or gyoza tare....i'm sure it isn't bad.
The last item, the croquette, looks like the ones we had at Musha... The pungency of the ginger in the blend overpowered everything. :(
yeah ginger can easily be overpowering when used too much...it's so strong.
You know what's absolutely terrible though? It's frozen gyoza that's been thawed and refrozen a couple times. You can't eat much of it. But you'll still get very sick from just the one bite.

yeah that sounds ghastly....i don't usually buy gyoza in the frozen food section...but when i eat ramen it definitely needs a side of gyoza...
when i went to tokyo a while back i actually went to this area in Ikebukuro that is called "gyoza stadium" it's an like an indoor amusement park with several different gyoza shops from around the country all in one spot....
