Kamura Izakaya's Hospitality: Catering to Our Customers

One of the significant charms of Gyoza Neo-Taishu Sakaba New Kamura Shinsakae Branch is our high level of meticulous attention to each customer, or hospitality. We have received numerous compliments in customer reviews, such as The hospitality is quite high for an izakaya and The staff were all smiling and very pleasant, which was excellent.
