How to Enjoy New Kamura in Shin-Sakae, Your Way

Welcome to the Lively 'Gyoza Neo-Tavern New Kamura Shin-Sakae'!

Located in Shin-Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya, 'Gyoza Neo-Tavern New Kamura Shin-Sakae' boasts excellent access, just a three-minute walk from Exit 2 of Shin-Sakae Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway. Step inside and you'll be enveloped in the bustling, vibrant atmosphere unique to a 'neo-taishu sakaba' (modern-style tavern), creating a comfortable space where everyone naturally smiles. A major draw of our establishment is its versatility, perfect for a wide range of occasions, from a solo daytime drink to a lively gathering with close friends.

No discussion of our tavern is complete without mentioning our signature 'Gyoza' and 'Moyajiro,' an appetizer so popular it feels like a main dish, complete with free refills. 'Moyajiro' is a symphony of crispy bean sprouts, rich pork back fat, a kick of spice, and a sweet sauce, creating a harmonious flavor that has earned rave reviews from many customers as 'utterly addictive.' This one-of-a-kind taste is so impactful you won't forget it after just one bite.

We don't just serve delicious food and drinks; we strive to listen to each customer's wish for 'that little something extra' and accommodate it whenever possible. This warm consideration is at the heart of the hospitality we cherish at 'Gyoza Neo-Tavern New Kamura Shin-Sakae.' Within our casual tavern atmosphere, you'll find meticulous hospitality.

New Kamura's Warm Hospitality: Catering to Your 'Little Extras'

Some people might hesitate to voice their preferences, thinking, 'It's a casual tavern, so I shouldn't be picky...' However, at 'Gyoza Neo-Tavern New Kamura Shin-Sakae,' we sincerely listen to each customer's detailed requests and do our best to accommodate them. A perfect example of this is a story where a customer who disliked mayonnaise asked for less in their potato salad, and our staff suggested, 'How about we serve it on the side?'

This incident goes beyond simply adjusting the amount of mayonnaise; it's a concrete example of how flexibly and proactively we respond to our customers' dietary preferences and concerns. The staff's subtle attentiveness, which allows them to make suggestions that enhance the dining experience, truly shines. Despite the lively tavern atmosphere, our dedication to valuing each customer's voice has earned high praise in many reviews, with comments like, 'The hospitality is quite high for an izakaya,' and 'The staff were all smiling and pleasant, which made for a great experience.'

Moreover, the meticulous service during your meal is another of our charms. You'll notice thoughtful considerations everywhere, from the perfect timing of clearing empty plates to offering water or a fresh hand towel as you finish your meal. Each of these actions contributes to a comfortable and pleasant environment for our guests, helping us maintain an astonishingly high overall store rating of 4.5 (from 693 reviews). Our entire team is dedicated to providing heartfelt service every day to exceed customer expectations.

  2. Try to Be Specific: For example, if you can be specific like, 'Can you make it less spicy?' or 'Can you use less of a certain ingredient?', it makes it easier for our staff to consider how to accommodate you. As in the 'mayonnaise on the side' example, specific suggestions from customers can lead to even better service.
  3. If You Have Allergies or Specific Dietary Restrictions: Due to the nature of a casual tavern, we may not be able to perfectly accommodate every request. However, if you have any concerns, please feel free to consult our staff. We will do our best to help you dine with peace of mind, whether by adjusting cooking methods or suggesting alternative menu items.

Signature 'Gyoza': The Secret of the Gyoza Made for Lemon Sours

The punchy, garlicky flavor creates a magnificent harmony with a refreshing lemon sour, making it hard to stop at just one sip—or one bite. The aroma of the crisply fried skin and the umami of the juicy filling will spread through your mouth, guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. While the classic beer and gyoza combination is fantastic, we highly recommend trying the pairing of our 'Lemon Sour Gyoza' with a lemon sour. You might discover something new.

'Moyajiro': The Addictive, Free-Refill Appetizer

And then there's the other star of the show: 'Moyajiro,' an appetizer that comes with free refills. Crispy bean sprouts are mixed with rich pork back fat and a special sweet and spicy sauce, creating a unique and unforgettable flavor. 'Moyajiro' is delicious enough to keep you reaching for more on its own, but it also serves as an excellent companion to gyoza and other drinks. Whether you want to refresh your palate or just need one more bite of something, you can enjoy its addictive taste to your heart's content with unlimited refills. Many customers are surprised to find such a satisfying dish for just the price of the table charge.

Find Your Perfect Pairing
