Nikujiru Gyoza no Dandadan, a popular gyoza restaurant chain in Tokyo, is launching a special ambassador campaign starting June 12, 2026. This campaign celebrates the collaboration with the Kodansha picture book “Gyoza ga Inakunari Sagashiteimasu” (“The Gyoza Has Disappeared, Please Find It”), featuring its charming gyoza character as the new ambassador for the restaurant.
About the Campaign
This limited-time event is perfect for families visiting Tokyo who want to enjoy delicious meat juice-filled gyoza while engaging in a playful activity. Customers who order the “Kids’ Gyoza Set” at participating Dandadan locations will receive an exclusive spot-the-difference puzzle featuring the picture book’s characters. The restaurants will also have copies of the picture book available for reading, creating a fun and immersive dining experience for children and parents alike.

The campaign highlights the unique partnership between Nikujiru Gyoza no Dandadan, known for its juicy pan-fried gyoza, and the Kodansha picture book that centers around a mysterious disappearance of gyoza in a town.
