Underground dumplings, Sapporo

Fancy a quickie?? Good, me too.
As I was so sweetly just reminded I owed you all a dumpling follow up.

In pleasure town (I just don't stop loving that name) under JR tower we had just finished up at Tortilla flat and were on our wander home when we came across this little dumpling house. Far too full to give it a try we made a mental note, and the next day when we were in the area we swung back for a dumpling fix.

Wan Zhu Ji Men was the name of place with the name wrapped around smiling pig as the shop logo. They do a variety of chinese noodles, rice and dumplings, Feeling just a bit peckish we opted for just a few dumplings. No idea what the dumplings were we just pointed at few interesting ones and hoped for the best, one lot with red dumpling skins, a set of long ones and a set of standard shaped, all were fried pot sticker style, came with a good smear of chili on the side as well as Chinese black vinegar (a Chinkiang no less) to dip in and my memory tells me they were tasty as was the lychee soda we had to accompany them.

Perhaps the next time we go we'll have a Japanese speaker so we actually know what we're eating. Still it was a great place for a mid afternoonish snack and they sell the Chinkiang by the bottle so that's always a good reason to swing by.

Too quick???
