According to historical records, during the Edo period, jiaozi was introduced to Japan by Zhu Shunshui, an educator of the Ming Dynasty who was exiled to Japan, and the first Japanese to eat jiaozi was considered as the deputy general of Japan, Hou Dechuan Guangguo-Zhu Shunshui, who prepared jiaozi with duck meat, pine nuts and medlar as stuffing.
However, it was not until after World War II that jiaozi became a popular Japanese food. For example, Utsunomiya Jiaozi, a soldier from Yu Dou Palace who has been to the northeast of China, returned to his hometown with fried dumplings. After several years of development, jiaozi has gradually become one of the most recognized Japanese China cuisines.

The Japanese city that can eat jiaozi best.
Jiaozi is indispensable in the Spring Festival menu. As a well-deserved traditional food in China, jiaozi has a history of more than 2,600 years. But when it comes to the frequency of tasting jiaozi, these Japanese cities may be better.
According to the household income and expenditure survey released by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on February 5, from the perspective of the amount of jiaozi purchased by each household (more than two people) in Japan in 2020, Hamamatsu City is 3,766 yen (about RMB 23 1 yuan), Utsunomiya City is 3,693 yen (about RMB 227), Miyazaki City is 3,670 yen (about RMB 225), and Beijing.
According to Japanese media reports, Hamamatsu is proud of defeating its old rival Yu Dou Palace, and it has returned to the first place in jiaozi's consumption list after two years, consolidating its external image as a "crazy powder" in jiaozi. It is worth noting that behind the "boss", Miyazaki City outshines others this year, and the gap between the average consumption amount of each household in Kakuko and Utsunomiya City has narrowed to 23 yen.
