Addictive Moyajiro! Our Promise of New Kamura's Signature Gyoza

The undisputed stars at Gyoza Neo-Taishu Sakaba New Kamura Shinsakae are our meticulously crafted Gyoza and Moyajiro, served as our complimentary appetizer. These two signature dishes will capture both your stomach and your heart.

The Shock of Free Refills! The Appeal of Moyajiro

  • An Addictive Flavor: Our complimentary appetizer, Moyajiro, is no ordinary dish. It's a highly praised, addictive creation, featuring bean sprouts, pork back fat, spice, and sweet sauce, all exquisitely blended. Once you take a bite, you won't be able to stop.
  • Unbelievably Free Refills: And what's more, Moyajiro comes with free refills! The more you drink and the more gyoza you eat, the more you'll find your chopsticks irresistibly reaching for this flavor. We recommend starting with Moyajiro as an accompaniment to quench your thirst with a happy hour drink.
  • Gyoza Enhancer: The rich flavor of Moyajiro also has the effect of further enhancing the umami of the gyoza you'll eat next. Enjoying it alternately with gyoza creates a loop of deliciousness.

Lemon Sour Exclusive Gyoza: A Delicacy Designed for Perfection

  • Perfect Pairing with Lemon Sours: As its name suggests, our Lemon Sour Exclusive Gyoza is a garlic-infused masterpiece developed to perfectly complement our lemon sours. The juicy gyoza, packed with a punch of garlic, harmonizes wonderfully with the crisp freshness of a lemon sour, bringing out the best in both.
  • A Flavor That Boosts Your Drinks: It pairs excellently with beer, lemon sours, and other alcoholic beverages. Savoring hot gyoza in a lively atmosphere and washing it down with a cold drink – this is truly the essence of a taishu-sakaba.

Experience the harmony woven by Moyajiro and Gyoza, our two signature dishes, for yourself.

An Unexpected Marriage of Gyoza and Drinks: The Shinsakae Way to Enjoy Pairings

While wine pairing is gaining attention in many restaurants for enhancing the dining experience, here at Gyoza Neo-Taishu Sakaba New Kamura Shinsakae, we propose our unique interpretation of drink pairing designed to perfectly complement our signature gyoza. It's a combination that isn't limited to wine, offering more freedom, a more casual appeal, and most importantly, highlighting the deliciousness of our gyoza.

The Golden Rule: Lemon Sour Exclusive Gyoza and Lemon Sour

One of our popular menu items is the Lemon Sour Exclusive Gyoza. This gyoza is richly infused with garlic, and its potent flavor creates a synergistic effect when paired with a crisp, cold lemon sour, which you can enjoy at a great price during Shinsakae Happy Hour. The refreshing acidity and carbonation of the lemon sour cleanly wash away the gyoza's umami and garlic aroma, inviting you to take another bite and another sip. This creates a meticulously calculated chain of deliciousness, akin to the finest wine and food pairings.

Beer, Moyajiro, and the Infinite Gyoza Loop

Of course, it pairs perfectly with beer too. In our lively establishment, grab an ice-cold beer and start with Moyajiro. Our Moyajiro, with its free refills, is truly an addictive dish, a marriage of bean sprouts, pork back fat, spice, and sweet sauce. This rich umami is refreshed by the beer's bitterness and carbonation, further stimulating your appetite. Then, take a bite of hot gyoza. The beer's crispness enhances the gyoza's juiciness, and your hand will reach for Moyajiro again. This infinite loop of deliciousness is the pairing experience that we at New Kamura propose to brighten your Shinsakae nights.

While the term drink pairing might sound complex, it essentially boils down to the simple discovery that this drink is perfect with this dish! We encourage you to find your own ultimate combination.

Beyond delicious food and our affordable happy hour, Gyoza Neo-Taishu Sakaba New Kamura Shinsakae highly values detailed hospitality to ensure our customers have a comfortable experience.
