New Kamura Sakae has the depth to answer all these desires. We've devised various ways for everyone, whether solo or in a group, to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Let's think about how you can use our tavern based on your mood and purpose for the day.

  • A Quick Drink for the Solo Diner After Work
    We have counter seats, so you can relax without worrying about your surroundings and soothe the day's fatigue with your favorite gyoza and beer. A little chat with the staff might just brighten your mood.
  • A Fun Group Outing with Friends or Colleagues
    Gather around a table and enjoy a lively time with our famous gyoza and fried half-chicken. Our 90-minute all-you-can-drink plan boasts rapid service speed, so you can enjoy your drinks smoothly without interrupting the conversation. It's also perfect for a second party (nijikai) in Sakae.

    The lively and warm atmosphere created by our cheerful and positive staff naturally brightens the hearts of our visitors. It's the perfect place to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and refresh yourself with delicious food, drinks, and a great time.

The Three Key Charms of Our 'Neo-Tavern': Gyoza, Speed, and 'Moyashida'

The reason New Kamura Sakae is loved by so many repeat customers isn't just our signature 'Kamura Gyoza.' Our unique commitment and customer-first service provide everyone with a special time. Here are the three key charms we especially want you to know about.

Charm #1: Discover New Pairings with 'Specialty Gyoza' for Each Drink

Our gyoza aren't just delicious. They are crafted as 'Gyoza for Beer,' 'Gyoza for Lemon Sour,' and 'Gyoza for Highball,' designed to maximize the flavor of each drink. Carefully prepared and hand-wrapped daily, these gyoza burst with juicy meat fillings from the first bite. Choosing which gyoza to pair with which drink based on your mood is part of the fun.

  • Gyoza for Beer
    The crispy, fragrant skin and the rich umami of the meat filling further enhance the refreshing taste of beer. A truly classic combination.
  • Gyoza for Lemon Sour
    For a refreshing citrus-based lemon sour, a slightly lighter yet flavor-packed gyoza is a perfect match. It cleanses your palate and invites the next bite.
  • Gyoza for Highball
    A crisp highball pairs perfectly with gyoza featuring a richly flavored filling. The sweetness of the oil and the refreshing kick of the highball create an exquisite balance. Be sure to try our 'Explosively Juicy Gyoza' too.

Charm #2: Before Your Glass is Empty! Our Amazingly Fast 'Stress-Free All-You-Can-Drink'

Have you ever ordered an all-you-can-drink plan at an izakaya, only to wait forever for your next drink? At New Kamura Sakae, we pride ourselves on our service speed so that our customers can fully enjoy their all-you-can-drink experience. For guests on our 90-minute plan, our staff is trained to proactively ask, What would you like for your next drink? before your glass is even empty. This allows you to enjoy cold drinks at any time without breaking the flow of your conversation. A truly stress-free all-you-can-drink experience is the norm here.

Charm #3: The Irresistible, Must-Refill Side Dish: 'Moyashida (Moyajiro)'

While the gyoza and fried chicken are mainstays, our hidden star is the 'All-You-Can-Refill Moyashida (Moyajiro).' These crispy bean sprouts tossed in our special sauce are so addictive you won't be able to put your chopsticks down. It's perfect as a snack with drinks or as a palate cleanser between dishes. We often hear from customers, I came here just for this! In addition, we have a full menu of other attractive items, including the incredibly fragrant 'Fried Half-Chicken,' the enjoyably textured 'Crispy Lotus Root Bites,' and the unique 'Takoyaki with 'Swimming' Mayonnaise.' We are open for everything from day drinking in Sakae to serving as a late-night neighborhood Chinese spot.
