Bring the Energy of Meieki Home! A Complete Guide to New Kamura's Takeout

Welcome to Gyoza no Neo Taishu Sakaba New Kamura Meieki 2-Chome Store, a lively spot in Meieki 2-Chome, Nagoya! We blend the best of traditional izakaya with a modern flair to offer a fun and satisfying experience for everyone working hard every day. Our wide variety of original gyoza, carefully crafted dishes, and the bustling atmosphere created by our cheerful staff will surely make a memorable impression.

However, do you ever think, It's hard to experience that lively atmosphere at the store every day, or I'd like to relax at home and enjoy that taste sometimes? Of course, there are spontaneous after-work drinks and meals with friends, but there are also days you want a quick solo drink or feel like indulging at home. That's why today, we're introducing our Complete Guide to Takeout to help you enjoy our restaurant's flavors at home—more easily and affordably. If you live or work around Nagoya Station, this is a must-read.

From savoring our signature dishes at your leisure to effortless entertaining for unexpected guests and quick meal solutions for busy days, New Kamura's takeout can be used in various situations. We can meet a wide range of needs, from solo diners to families and gatherings with friends.

Elevate Your Time at Home! Enjoy Our Signature Dishes in Your Own Space

The charm of New Kamura lies in its extensive menu. Many of those flavors you might think can only be enjoyed in-store can actually be taken home with you. Here, we'll share tips on how to best enjoy our most popular dishes at home.

Our No. 1 Hit! Crispy and Juicy Half-Fried Young Chicken

Many of our customers say our No. 1 hit, the Half-Fried Young Chicken, is a must-try. The skin is perfectly crispy and fragrant, while the inside is incredibly juicy. This perfect cooking is a true professional skill. When eating at home, lightly warm it in the microwave and then toast it in a toaster oven for a few minutes to bring back that restaurant-quality crispy skin. Take a hearty bite of the hot chicken, and you'll instantly be transported to the lively space of New Kamura. It goes without saying that it pairs perfectly with beer or a highball. Share it with your family or indulge all by yourself.

A Wide Variety of Original Gyoza and Our Gyoza for Lemon Sours

As our name suggests, gyoza is our pride and joy. In addition to our classic pan-fried gyoza, you can enjoy various flavor combinations with our selection of dipping sauces. We especially recommend the Gyoza for Lemon Sours. Crafted to perfectly complement a refreshing lemon sour, this gyoza is so popular that customers often find themselves ordering more. When you get it for takeout, be sure to enjoy it with your favorite lemon sour. That blissful moment of biting into a hot gyoza and chasing it with a cold lemon sour will make you forget the fatigue of the day.

Flavor-Packed Delicacies: Motsu-ni and Tofu Steeped in Umami

At New Kamura, where we often hear every dish is a winner, we have many other gems besides gyoza and fried chicken that you should try for takeout. Our Motsu-ni (Stewed Giblets) and Tofu Steeped in Umami are excellent choices that let you easily enjoy a specialty restaurant taste just by heating them up at home. The slow-cooked Motsu-ni has a deep, concentrated umami that will warm your body and soul. The Tofu Steeped in Umami boasts a gentle flavor, thoroughly infused with dashi stock. It's perfect when you want one more dish or as a snack with your drink.

Perfect for Last-Minute Guests and Parties! Your Secret to Effortless Entertaining

For times when friends are suddenly gathering in Meieki or I want to host a small party at home but don't have time to prepare, New Kamura's takeout is a powerful ally. By easily arranging our restaurant's dishes on your table, you can create a festive atmosphere in an instant.

Combine Multiple Dishes for a Lavish Spread

By combining several takeout menu items, you can create a varied and exciting table, just like dining at our restaurant. For example, feature the Half-Fried Young Chicken as the main dish, line up several types of Original Gyoza, and add sides like Tofu Steeped in Umami or White Liver Sashimi (Please check with the store for takeout availability). You'll have a gorgeous set of professional flavors ready in no time. A major advantage of takeout is being able to serve hot food without keeping your guests waiting.

Order Smartly in Advance for Smooth Pickup

During busy times like weekend and holiday evenings, takeout orders can get concentrated. We recommend calling ahead to place your order, especially if you are planning to entertain a large group. At New Kamura Meieki 2-Chome Store, we accept reservations by phone at 052-583-1550. If you let us know your order in advance, we will prepare it for your arrival time, allowing you to get your meal ready without wasting precious time.

Bring Home the Vibe! Enjoy a Neo-Public Bar Experience at Home

The interior of New Kamura is a vibrant space, bustling with activity every day. Our energetic staff strives to create a comfortable atmosphere. Takeout is like bringing that energy right into your home. Put on your favorite background music, dim the lights slightly, and your home will transform into a Meieki Neo-Public Bar. When you raise a glass with friends and family and shout Kanpai!, you'll find the same joyful time flowing as if you were at the restaurant. Of course, for large banquets or all-you-can-drink plans, please come visit us directly. The sense of togetherness you can only experience in-store is also exceptional.

For Busy Days and Solo Time: A Smart Shortcut for Meals

On days when you're too tired from work to cook but still want to eat something delicious, New Kamura's takeout comes in handy. Being able to enjoy a professional taste without the effort makes our Meieki Gyoza a true lifesaver for modern life.

Stop by After Work to Add a Professional Touch to Your Dinner Table

Our location within walking distance of Nagoya Station is a major plus for takeout users. You can easily stop by and pick up your food on your way home from work or shopping. Add New Kamura's takeout to your dinner as a main dish or as a side when you want something extra. It's an easy way to elevate your usual meal. We open at 4 PM on weekdays, so on days you finish work a bit early, you can pick up your food and enjoy a leisurely evening at home.

Enjoy a Luxurious Solo Drink at Home

A quick solo drink usually means enjoying one casually at a counter seat, but a solo takeout drink at home, where you can enjoy it at your own pace without any distractions, is also a special treat. The time spent slowly enjoying our popular Motsu-ni or Gyoza for Lemon Sours with your favorite drink will surely soothe away your daily fatigue. While only some menu items are available for takeout, we are confident they will provide more than enough satisfaction.

The Perfect Extra Dish When You're Stuck on Your Menu

Do you ever find yourself wondering, What should I make for one more dish today? That's when New Kamura comes to the rescue. For instance, if you want to add more vegetables to your meal, try one of our fresh salads (if available for takeout). If you're in the mood for something hearty, go for our signature gyoza or half-fried chicken. The beauty of takeout is that you can freely choose from our rich menu to suit your mood and meal plan for the day. Think of it not as cutting corners, but as a smart time-saving cooking hack.

Indulge in Weekend Day Drinking! New Ways to Enjoy with Takeout

When you hear Meieki day drinking, you might imagine enjoying it at a restaurant, but on weekends, New Kamura offers the perfect opportunity to luxuriously enjoy at-home day drinking with our takeout. Why not create a slightly different, more special weekend?

Open from 12 PM on Weekends! Make the Most of Your Day with Early Takeout

On weekends and holidays, we open at 12 PM! This is great news for anyone wanting to enjoy some Meieki day drinking. And there's no reason not to take advantage of this 12 PM opening for takeout. If you place your takeout order in the morning, you can be indulging in the taste of New Kamura right from lunchtime. A day-drinking party with friends, a late brunch with family, or a luxurious time spent alone. By getting takeout early, you can make your afternoon even more productive and fulfilling.

For example, for a weekend brunch, you could serve our Half-Fried Young Chicken and Gyoza with cold beer or sours to enjoy an authentic Meieki Neo-Public Bar experience right at home. On a sunny day, enjoying it on your balcony or in your garden is also highly recommended. Savor the vibrant flavors of New Kamura in an open, refreshing space.

Create Your Own Happy Hour at Home

While our restaurant may have a Happy Hour at specific times, with takeout, you can create your own happy hour anytime at home. Enjoy New Kamura's delicious food and drinks while watching your favorite movie or TV show, or while reading a book. The freedom to relax to your heart's content without worrying about time is a unique privilege of being at home. The estimated budget per person is about ¥2,000 to ¥3,500 (including food and drinks), so you can easily enjoy this luxury with takeout.

Get More for Less! Sign Up on LINE for a Gyoza for Your Age Gift

To get the most out of New Kamura, you can't miss out on our special offers. In particular, signing up as a friend on our official LINE account comes with unmissable benefits.
