Sakae's Value Gyoza: The True Essence! Dedicated Gyoza and the Art of Pairing

The biggest reason New Kamura's gyoza stands out from the rest is our dedicated gyoza, tailored to complement specific types of alcoholic beverages. Conceived to bring out the maximum flavor of each drink—This one for beer!, This one for lemon sour!—these gyoza are truly culinary masterpieces. We offer a new dining experience that goes beyond simply eating gyoza, inviting you to enjoy the perfect marriage with your drink.

Cheers with Beer-Dedicated Gyoza! A Moment of Bliss

  • Among our juicy gyoza, meticulously hand-wrapped daily, the beer-dedicated gyoza is exceptional. The savory juices that burst from its crispy-grilled skin are truly beer's ultimate companion. One bite, and its umami fills your mouth, followed by a refreshing gulp of cold beer... This moment is pure bliss.
  • Be sure to savor the contrast between the hot gyoza and cold beer. The gyoza's deliciousness further enhances the beer's refreshing finish, and you might just find yourself in an endless loop of enjoyment.

Refreshingly Zesty with Lemon Sour-Dedicated Gyoza!

Next, we introduce our lemon sour-dedicated gyoza. The harmony created by the refreshing acidity of lemon sour and the gyoza's umami is a truly new sensation of deliciousness. Its light flavor, without any greasiness, makes you want to reach for just one more, and then another. The crispness of the lemon sour cleanses the palate after each gyoza, making it a combination you could eat endlessly. This dish is especially recommended for female customers and those who prefer a lighter taste.

Ordering Tips:

  1. Start by ordering the classic pan-fried gyoza.
  2. Take a bite and savor its juiciness.
  3. Take a sip of lemon sour to refresh your palate.
  4. Pop another gyoza into your mouth and experience the refreshing pairing!

Smartly Paired with Highball-Dedicated Gyoza!

And for highball lovers, our highball-dedicated gyoza is irresistible. Highballs, characterized by their refreshing fizziness, pair wonderfully with gyoza that have a slightly spicy kick or a bolder flavor. Our hand-wrapped gyoza are expertly crafted not to diminish the aroma and crispness of the highball, but rather to enhance its appeal.

You can also enjoy a sophisticated experience: sipping a highball elegantly while savoring piping hot gyoza in our lively establishment. Whether you're dining alone or in a group, please fully enjoy the combination of dedicated gyoza and drinks in your own style.

  • The carbonation of the highball enhances the gyoza's umami.
