Utsunomiya, the capital of Tochigi Prefecture in Japan's northern Kantō region, is best known for gyoza — pan-fried dumplings — with well over two hundred restaurants in the city dedicated to them. A large city that has held its municipal status since 1896, it sits within reach of the wider region's UNESCO World Heritage sites and draws independent travellers looking for a genuine food destination outside the major metropolitan centres.
