Why is 'Kamura Gyoza' so beloved?

Sakae is home to countless restaurants, but the Kamura Gyoza offered at 'Neo Taishu Sakaba New Kamura' has a unique charm that's unforgettable once you've tried it. It's not just about being tasty; we put a great deal of effort into pursuing what 'delicious' means to each and every customer.

So, what exactly makes this Kamura Gyoza so special? The answer lies in our meticulous attention to detail and our heartfelt desire for our customers to truly enjoy themselves.

We'll delve into the profound appeal that sets it apart from ordinary gyoza and provide information to enrich your time at New Kamura.

Hand-wrapped daily! The essence of 'Kamura Gyoza' where craftsmanship shines

Our signature menu item, Kamura Gyoza, is carefully hand-wrapped one by one, every single day. Behind the simple words 'hand-wrapped daily' lies an unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality to our customers.

  • Commitment to Ingredients and Freshness
    The carefully selected ingredients for the filling are prepared the same day to ensure they reach you in the freshest possible state. Because it's done by hand, we can bring out the best in each ingredient. The harmony of juicy meat and the sweetness of vegetables creates a truly blissful flavor.
  • A One-of-a-Kind Texture and Taste
    The thickness of the skin, the chewy texture unique to hand-wrapped gyoza, and the crisp, fragrant finish when pan-fried are all signs of craftsmanship that can never be replicated by a machine. One bite reveals a mouthful of juicy filling and a perfectly balanced skin, creating a moment of pure bliss.
  • A Dish Filled with the Creator's Passion
    Each and every gyoza is filled with our gratitude to our customers and our desire to see them smile and say 'delicious.' You'll be able to taste the warmth and feel the spirit of the maker that only hand-wrapping can convey.

This dedication is why 'Kamura Gyoza' is not just a dish, but a memorable experience for our customers.

The perfect marriage with drinks! The unique character of 'Kamura Gyoza'

The greatest feature of Kamura Gyoza at 'Neo Taishu Sakaba New Kamura' is that we offer dedicated gyoza for different types of drinks, tailored to our customers' preferences. Beer, lemon sour, highball. We've adjusted the filling and seasoning of each to bring out the maximum flavor and characteristics of each drink. This is a special experience that only our restaurant, with its deep knowledge of pairing drinks and gyoza, can offer.

A blissful glass with gyoza made for beer

For beer, with its crisp, refreshing taste, a gyoza with a punchy flavor that can stand up to its sharpness is the perfect match. Our beer-specific gyoza has an umami and aroma that spreads the moment you take a bite, matching perfectly with the bitterness of the beer and inviting an endless loop of sips and bites.

  • The juicy filling bursts forth with the beer's foam, bringing a rich flavor to your palate.
  • The appetizing aroma will have you naturally reaching for your next glass.
  • It's guaranteed to be the best partner for that first drink after work.

Discover a new harmony with gyoza made for lemon sour

The refreshing acidity and clean aftertaste of a lemon sour prevent the gyoza from feeling oily and stimulate the appetite. Our lemon sour-specific gyoza is crafted with a delicate yet rich flavor to complement that refreshing quality.

  • The coolness of the lemon further enhances the umami of the gyoza.
  • With their light taste, you'll find you can eat them endlessly.
  • This is a new pairing suggestion that has been very well-received by our female customers.

Deepen your sophisticated evening with gyoza made for highball

For a highball, characterized by the rich aroma of whiskey and the crispness of soda, a gyoza with deep umami and a fragrant aroma is an excellent match. The aroma of our highball-specific gyoza further enhances the sharpness of the highball, creating a profound flavor.

  • The rich aroma of the gyoza and the scent of the highball enhance each other.
  • It's the perfect combination for a mature evening you want to savor.
  • Enjoy a deep pairing with new discoveries in every bite.

In addition to these, we offer other unique menu items to enjoy, such as the 'Explosively Juicy Gyoza' that bursts with flavor in one bite, and the uniquely textured 'Renkon no Jakkan' (A Hint of Lotus Root), allowing you to savor the many faces of Kamura Gyoza based on your preference.

Not just gyoza! The excellent supporting cast for 'Kamura Gyoza'

The appeal of 'Neo Taishu Sakaba New Kamura' isn't limited to our prized Kamura Gyoza. Our unique side dishes, which further enhance the deliciousness of the gyoza and enrich the dining table, have also earned immense support from our customers.

Incredibly tender 'Half-Chicken Karaage'

Our 'Half-Chicken Karaage,' praised by a customer who searched for us on the Shinkansen and said, 'It was even more delicious than I expected!' is another of our specialties.

  • Perfectly fried: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside
    The umami is sealed in by flash-frying chicken seasoned with our special spices at high heat. The deep flavor of the chicken, which can only be enjoyed with bone-in meat, fills your mouth.
  • An outstanding pairing with drinks
    While generous in volume, the flavor isn't heavy, making it a perfect match for beer or highballs. The contrast between the crispy skin and the plump meat provides a delightful surprise with every bite.

Addictive 'All-You-Can-Eat Moyashida (Moyajiro)'

Our 'Moyashida (Moyajiro)' has received high praise in reviews, with comments like 'They're also highly rated for their delicious, all-you-can-eat bean sprouts.' It's an addictive dish that's perfect both as a palate cleanser and as a snack with drinks.

  • Crisp texture and special sauce
    Our 'Moyashida,' made with carefully selected bean sprouts dressed in our secret sauce, has a pleasant, crisp texture and is so delicious you won't be able to stop eating it.
  • All-you-can-eat to your heart's content
    Believe it or not, this 'Moyashida' is all-you-can-eat! Enjoy as much as you like, to your heart's content. If you have some between bites of gyoza or karaage, you won't be able to put your chopsticks down.

We also have a rich lineup of other menu items to make your meal with Kamura Gyoza even more lively, such as the unique 'Oyogase Mayonnaise Takoyaki,' where plump takoyaki are 'swimming' in a special mayonnaise sauce.
