Welcome to a New World of Gyoza in Sakae

Located on Princess Odori in Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya, 'Gyoza no Neo-Tavern New Kamura Sakae Princess Odori' is beloved by many as a 'neo-tavern' that fuses the lively, warm atmosphere of a traditional tavern with modern flair and meticulous care. From an after-work drink to a fun time with friends or a special dinner with a loved one, New Kamura Sakae welcomes you for any occasion.

Our highest priority is to provide each and every customer with a special dining experience that they'll remember. At the heart of this is our 'daily hand-wrapped gyoza,' made with painstaking care. It's not just about being delicious; we want to share our deep commitment to ingredients and the innovative techniques we use to bring out their best flavors—information we believe our customers will find interesting and useful.

Why not experience a new pairing of drinks and gyoza in a vibrant space that brightens up the Sakae night? We await you with heartfelt service and the finest cuisine, hoping to make you feel that this is a place you'll want to visit again and again.

The Passion Behind New Kamura Sakae's Signature Hand-Wrapped Gyoza

Our star dish is, without a doubt, gyoza. But perhaps you're wondering, 'What makes it more than just gyoza? What's the special reason?' At New Kamura Sakae, our gyoza is not merely another item on the menu. It is filled with our unwavering commitment to pursuing the best flavor and our gratitude to our customers.

Our Commitment to Daily Hand-Wrapping

Each and every one of our gyoza is carefully hand-wrapped daily. The delicate folds created by our artisans' hands, which can never be replicated by a machine, are the secret to their unique texture and juiciness. This refusal to cut corners reflects our strong desire for customers to enjoy our gyoza in the best possible condition. Wrapped with care, each gyoza releases a burst of rich, savory juices the moment you take a bite, creating an unforgettable impression.

The Secret to Our Juiciness

When talking about delicious gyoza, juiciness is essential. New Kamura's gyoza achieves an irresistible texture, with savory juices bursting forth from the very first bite, thanks to carefully selected ingredients and a unique recipe. The harmony between the crispy skin and the umami-packed filling is pure bliss. This juiciness is born from the freshness maintained by daily hand-wrapping and the expert preparation of the filling.

Viewing Gyoza as a Complete Dish

We see gyoza not just as a side dish, but as a complete 'dish' in its own right. That's why we put so much thought into how to maximize its flavor. For example, our suggestion to choose the perfect gyoza to match your drink is designed to help you enjoy gyoza on a deeper, more multifaceted level. We want to provide a gyoza experience that makes you say, 'I've never had gyoza like this before!'

A Marriage of Gyoza and Drinks, Tailored for Every Sip

The question 'What drink goes well with gyoza?' is one many people have. At New Kamura Sakae, we have our own unique answer. We have pursued the perfect compatibility between drinks and gyoza, offering dedicated gyoza for each type of beverage. This allows our customers to discover new harmonies of flavors they never knew existed.

The Allure of Our Gyoza for Beer

Ice-cold beer and gyoza. This combination is a tavern classic, loved by many. Our gyoza specifically for beer was created to maximize its refreshing quality and deep richness. With one bite, the savory juices and the bitterness of the beer match perfectly, creating a moment of pure bliss. It's juicy yet has a clean aftertaste—a perfectly calculated masterpiece that will have you ordering another beer.

The Refreshing Quality of Our Gyoza for Lemon Sours

Lemon sours have become especially popular in recent years. Their refreshing acidity and crispness are an excellent match for gyoza. Our gyoza for lemon sours is crafted to have a light yet savory flavor that doesn't interfere with the lemon's aroma and tartness. The lemon sour refreshes the palate, cleansing any richness from the gyoza and inviting you to take the next bite. It's a light and addictive combination that stimulates the appetite.

The Depth of Our Gyoza for Highballs

For the clean taste of a highball, we recommend our flavorful gyoza for highballs. While the carbonation of the highball cleanses your palate, the fragrant and savory filling of the gyoza enhances the drink's depth. As each element brings out the best in the other, you can enjoy a sophisticated pairing unlike any you've had before. This is especially recommended for those who like to savor their food and drink.

How to Choose Based on Your Preference

At New Kamura Sakae, you can find the perfect gyoza and drink combination to suit your taste and mood. If you're unsure, our cheerful and positive staff will be happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences, so please don't hesitate to ask. Discover your own unique and perfect pairing.

More Than Just Gyoza! The Supporting Stars of New Kamura Sakae

The appeal of New Kamura Sakae doesn't stop with our famous gyoza. We also offer a rich variety of side dishes that are not only great companions to gyoza but can also stand as stars in their own right. At 'Gyoza no Neo-Tavern New Kamura Sakae Princess Odori,' we provide a meticulously crafted menu so our customers can enjoy delicious food to their heart's content.

The Generous and Delicious Half-Chicken Karaage

Another of our popular menu items is the special half-chicken karaage. It's crispy and fragrant on the outside and incredibly juicy on the inside. We marinate the chicken in a secret sauce and then flash-fry it at high heat to lock in all the flavor. Served on the bone, it's incredibly satisfying. Take a hearty bite, and the savory juices will burst out, with an aroma that whets the appetite. Its size and deliciousness are truly unforgettable. It's great for sharing with friends and family, or for indulging in all by yourself.

All-You-Can-Eat! The Addictive Moyashida (Moyajiro)

Our 'All-You-Can-Eat! Moyashida (Moyajiro)' is a huge hit, both as an appetizer and a palate cleanser. These bean sprouts, dressed in a special sauce, have a pleasant, crisp texture and a spicy, deep flavor. Once you start eating, you can't stop—it's truly addictive. It pairs perfectly with main dishes like gyoza and karaage, refreshing your palate and building anticipation for the next dish. Since refills are free, please enjoy this deliciousness to your heart's content. It's a hidden favorite at our restaurant.

Sides Like Crispy Lotus Root, Explosive Juice Gyoza, and Swimming Mayonnaise Takoyaki

Furthermore, we have a wide variety of side dishes to cater to all tastes. For example, our 'Crispy Lotus Root,' which has received rave reviews from customers, is an addictive dish with a unique texture and flavor. Also popular is our 'Explosive Juice Gyoza,' which offers a different experience from our standard pan-fried gyoza with its torrent of savory juices. And our visually fun 'Swimming Mayonnaise Takoyaki,' presented as if floating in a sea of mayonnaise, is especially popular with our female customers for its unique look and fluffy, creamy texture.

Each of these side dishes is a masterpiece packed with New Kamura Sakae's dedication to cuisine. Enjoying them alongside our gyoza will make your dining experience even richer.
