Located in a corner of a shopping mall on the outskirts of Utsunomiya, it is easily accessible by car. The menu is simple, offering three different types of dumplings: pan-fried, boiled, and deep-fried. The pan-fried dumplings have a crispy skin, while the boiled dumplings have a chewy texture with a juicy filling. The dumplings are seasoned lightly, making them easy to eat. Takeout options are also available for both pan-fried and boiled dumplings."

We had to check in at the reception and wait, but I think they use a system where they call you when your turn is near, so it's better to avoid waiting outside in hot or cold weather. The portion size and taste were satisfactory for the price. The staff were working very hard and had a nice smile!

We ordered fried dumplings and boiled dumplings. The fried dumplings were cooked well, just like in the picture. Due to the impact of the pandemic, they were not serving alcohol, but it was understandable as this is a suburban restaurant. The taste is consistently good, so it made me think, "Oh, it's been a while since I've been to Min Min!" It was a nice feeling.
