Information about this is collected at the Pelmeni Museum in Miass. The city is located in the mountainous area of the Southern Urals.

Visitors rave about the Museum of Miass dumplings. It can be interesting here not only for adults, but also for children, especially at modeling workshops. While walking along the old Miass street, where the museum cafe is located, you can look into the houses-dwellings of a watchmaker, a blacksmith, a confectioner, a hunter and the merchant Smirnov's house itself. This is very exciting!
People who visited the Museum of Pelmeni in Miass were interested in tasting Yermak's favorite dish in the cafe, consisting of several varieties of the studied dish. For some, the fact of its Chinese origin was a real discovery. Visitors are satisfied with the adequate cost of excursion services and dumplings menu.
