Utsunomiya Gyoza Matsuri 2010

It took place on November 6th and 7th in downtown Utsunomiya.

Yep, that's gyoza. Dumplings by any other name. And in Utsunomiya they have their very own festival.

I'm a fan of dumplings in general, and gyoza in particular. It's yummy!

And everyone who was in downtown Utsunomiya this weekend surely agrees with me. Yummy!

Eating...

Other things were consumed as well. These guys are enjoying grilled meat and beer:

There was also live music and other attractions.
