Shibuya Gyoza, a specialty restaurant known for its thin-skinned dumplings, is breaking the "Valentine's Day equals chocolate" tradition this year with an unexpected twist. From February 9 (Monday) to February 15 (Sunday), 2026, the chain will offer limited-edition "Bite-Sized Gyoza Pies" in two sweet flavors at all three locations.
A Fresh Take on Valentine's Day Gifts
While traditional chocolate dominates Valentine's Day in Japan, Shibuya Gyoza aims to offer something completely different. The new menu items target both women looking for unique Valentine's gifts and men who enjoy sweets but feel hesitant about entering trendy cafes. The restaurant applies its signature thin-skin dumpling technique to create crispy, fried pastries with sweet fillings that ooze when bitten into.
Two Flavors Featuring Artisan-Quality Ingredients
The gyoza pies aren't simply dumplings with chocolate stuffed inside. The restaurant developed custom-colored wrappers with flavoring mixed into the dough, creating visually striking "beautiful gyoza." Each order comes with a cold "Yukimi Daifuku" (mochi ice cream) on the side, allowing diners to enjoy contrasting hot and cold temperatures in one dish.
Bite-Sized Gyoza Pie – Chocolate Raspberry Flavor
Price: ¥580 (tax included)
Description: Cocoa-infused wrappers enclose rich chocolate, sweet-and-sour raspberry sauce, and melting marshmallows. When bitten, the chocolate and marshmallow overflow like a molten chocolate fondant cake.
Bite-Sized Gyoza Pie – Blueberry Cheese Flavor
Price: ¥580 (tax included)
Description: Bright pink wrappers contain rich cream cheese and generous blueberry sauce. The saltiness of the cheese perfectly balances the tartness of the berries, creating a flavor reminiscent of rare cheesecake. This option suits those who prefer less sweet desserts.
Visual Appeal and Texture Variety
When cut in half, the heat-melted marshmallow and cream cheese appear in a dramatic cross-section, offering both visual interest and changing textures as you eat. Paired with the cold Yukimi Daifuku, the dish works as a dessert course or sharing plate.
