Ajinomoto, Japan’s number one gyoza brand, is officially launching its best-selling frozen dumplings in major grocery stores across the United States. Known for their crispy bottoms, juicy pork filling, and easy pan-fry preparation, these gyozas have dominated Japan’s frozen food market for years—and now American shoppers can finally get a taste.
The U.S. rollout includes Ajinomoto’s signature Pork Gyoza, which features a blend of pork, cabbage, garlic, and ginger wrapped in a thin wheat flour skin. The dumplings are designed to crisp up in minutes without the need for oil, thanks to a patented cooking method that delivers restaurant-quality texture straight from the freezer.
Where to Find Them
Starting from this October, Ajinomoto’s gyozas will be available at select retailers nationwide, including Walmart, H-E-B, and regional grocery chains. The launch is part of the brand’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the U.S. frozen food aisle, where demand for authentic Asian flavors continues to grow.
Ajinomoto’s gyoza has been a staple in Japanese households for over two decades, with more than 1.3 billion dumplings sold annually. The brand’s expansion into the U.S. reflects a rising interest in global comfort foods and convenient, high-quality meal solutions. As Tasting Table notes, “Ajinomoto’s gyoza is not just a frozen snack—it’s a cultural icon.”
