First, a Toast with a Thirst-Quenching Drink and Beer-Dedicated Gyoza!

That moment of quenching your thirst with an ice-cold beer under the afternoon sun is pure bliss. At New Kamura, we offer Beer-Dedicated Gyoza that perfectly complements such a beer. The combination of savory pan-fried gyoza and beer is a classic pairing. It’s sure to be a refreshing start that will make you forget the fatigue of the day.

  • Recommended for: Early hours after work, meeting up with friends, or starting off a holiday.

Get the Party Going with Juicy Half-Chicken Karaage and Highball-Dedicated Gyoza

After quenching your thirst with beer, how about something a bit more substantial? We recommend our other popular dish, the Half-Chicken Karaage. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, this fried chicken is incredibly satisfying. We've even received happy feedback from customers, saying, I searched for it on the Shinkansen because it looked delicious, and the Half-Chicken Karaage was even better than I expected! A refreshing highball is the perfect match for this dish. And of course, don't forget the Highball-Dedicated Gyoza.

  • The charm of Half-Chicken Karaage: Fried bone-in and served whole, this dish has an impressive visual impact. The rich flavor of the meat is locked in.
  • Pairing with Highball-Dedicated Gyoza: The crisp taste of a highball cleanly cuts through the richness of the karaage and gyoza, stimulating your appetite even more.
  • Customers keep coming back for more: If you also order the all-you-can-eat Moyashi-da (Moyajiro), you can enjoy a variety of flavors without getting bored. The special sauce is addictive.

Finish with Refreshing Lemon Sour-Dedicated Gyoza and Unique Delicacies

To wrap up a lively day drinking session filled with delicious food and drinks, a refreshing lemon sour is highly recommended. Our Lemon Sour-Dedicated Gyoza is made to enhance the gyoza's umami with the sourness of the lemon and the crispness of the sour. End your Sakae day drinking on a satisfying, clean note. We also have a rich variety of unique side dishes, such as the Renkon no Jakkan and Oyogase Mayonnaise Takoyaki, which have received rave reviews from customers saying they were the best! Please give them a try.
