New Kamura Style! The Surprising Encounter of Gyoza and Wine

As a 'Neo-Tavern Gyoza,' our gyoza are carefully hand-wrapped every day. The umami and texture packed into each one hold the potential to resonate beautifully with the diverse flavors of wine. Here, we'll offer concrete hints on what types of wine pair well with our signature 'Kamura Gyoza' and several of our side dishes. There's no need to stick to specific brands. The important thing is to understand the characteristics of each and enjoy combining them freely.

1. Hints for Pairing Our Star 'Kamura Gyoza' with Wine

Our gyoza are crafted with different characteristics to match specific drinks. This uniqueness is the key to pairing them with wine.

• Pairing with Beer Gyoza
  Our gyoza for beer, characterized by its robust meat umami and the fragrant flavor of its grilled skin, pairs well with a pleasant sparkling wine that refreshes the palate or a light, fruity red wine. For reds, choosing one with low tannins and berry notes will enhance the gyoza's juiciness while balancing the overall flavor.
• Pairing with Lemon Sour Gyoza
  With its refreshing citrus notes, the lemon sour gyoza finds a great match in a crisp, dry white wine that doesn't overpower its lightness. A white wine with good minerality and fresh acidity will highlight the umami of the filling and the lemon flavor, leaving your mouth feeling clean. A type with notes of herbs or green apple would also be a good choice.
• Pairing with Highball Gyoza
  For the gyoza adjusted to match the crispness of a highball and the smoky nuances of whiskey, a rosé or a slightly full-bodied white wine might bring a surprising discovery. The fruitiness and moderate acidity of a rosé add depth to the gyoza's flavor, while a barrel-aged white wine can create a complexity similar to a highball with its richness and nutty aromas.
• Pairing with Bakujiru (Juicy Burst) Gyoza
  With our Bakujiru Gyoza, which bursts with savory juices in one bite, you need a wine that complements its richness without weighing down the palate. A light-bodied red wine or a white wine with moderate acidity can wash away the umami and richness of the juices, inviting the next bite. A red with mild tannins or a crisp white wine is recommended.

2. Enjoying Side Dishes with Wine Too!

By exploring wine pairings not only with gyoza but also with our popular side dishes, you can create an even more delicious and enjoyable dining experience.

• Fried Half-Chicken
  Our fragrant fried half-chicken has a wonderfully robust flavor. To match its heartiness, a rosé or a light-bodied red wine works well. The wine's fruitiness and acidity will harmoniously complement the chicken's umami and spices, further stimulating your appetite.
• All-You-Can-Eat Moyashida (Moya Jiro)
  Our 'Moyashida,' with its addictive special sauce, is perfect as a palate cleanser. Since it has a refreshing taste with umami and a hint of spice, a dry white wine is recommended to refresh your mouth. Clearing your palate will build anticipation for the next dish.
• Renkon no Jakkan (Lotus Root Dish)
  Praised by customers who've said, 'It was amazing!', our 'Renkon no Jakkan' features a unique crunchy texture and a slightly sweet and savory flavor. Surprisingly, this Japanese-style dish can pair well with a crisp, dry white wine or a slightly sweet rosé. It may enhance the lotus root's flavor while leading to a new discovery.
