This is the essence of 'Kamura Gyoza' and our culinary philosophy. Next, we’ll dive into the specifics of our signature dishes and showcase our dedication in detail.

A Wide Variety of Kamura Gyoza and Secret Dipping Sauces

Our signature 'Kamura Gyoza' captivates customers with its extensive variety and profound flavors. Each of our original gyoza is carefully crafted with its own unique character, ensuring a new discovery with every visit. The fragrant, pan-fried skin and the juicy, flavor-packed filling are a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality.

  • A Wide Variety of Original Gyoza

    Beyond our classic pan-fried gyoza, we offer many inventive original creations. With such a rich variety, you can enjoy trying different flavors to find your personal favorite. For every gyoza, we meticulously perfect the balance of the filling, the thickness of the skin, and the cooking process to serve it in its most delicious state.

  • Gyoza Made Especially for Lemon Sours

    Particularly unique is our 'Gyoza for Lemon Sours.' This is the ultimate pairing, designed exclusively to maximize compatibility with a refreshing lemon sour. The savory gyoza and the crisp lemon sour create a perfect match in your mouth, a delicious combination that will have you coming back for more.

  • A Choice of Free Dipping Sauces

    The enjoyment of 'Kamura Gyoza' doesn't stop with the gyoza themselves. We offer several complimentary house-made dipping sauces to further deepen and enrich the flavor. From a spicy sauce to a refreshing ponzu-based one, finding the perfect combination for each gyoza is part of the fun. A single sauce can completely change the character of the same gyoza, so we encourage you to experiment with different pairings.

Our #1 Hit! The Charm and Craftsmanship of Fried Half Young Chicken

The dish that has cemented the popularity of Gyoza Neo-Tavern New Kamura is our undisputed No. 1 menu item: 'Fried Half Young Chicken.' You simply cannot speak of our restaurant's charm without trying this masterpiece.

  • Crispy Skin, Juicy Interior: The Perfect Fry

    As the name suggests, 'Fried Half Young Chicken' is a spectacular dish made by deep-frying a whole, carefully prepared young chicken half. By flash-frying it in hot oil, the skin becomes incredibly crispy and fragrant, while the inside remains tender and bursting with juices. This exquisite contrast in textures creates an unforgettable experience. The natural umami of the chicken, released with every bite, pairs perfectly with drinks, making it irresistibly delicious.

  • Fresh Ingredients and a Passion for Cooking

    To achieve this level of deliciousness, we make no compromises on the freshness and quality of our young chicken. We use only carefully selected, high-quality birds, and each one is fried to perfection by our skilled chefs. It’s not just about frying; it’s about the passion poured into every detail, from temperature control to timing, to bring out the best in the ingredients. This dedication is what creates our No. 1 dish. We've received praise from customers, saying, 'The skin is so crispy, it goes great with drinks,' and 'The cooking was just right.' Please enjoy this piping hot, freshly fried half chicken.

More Than Just Gyoza! Our Can't-Miss Signature Dishes

The appeal of Gyoza Neo-Tavern New Kamura extends far beyond our signature 'Kamura Gyoza' and our No. 1 'Fried Half Young Chicken.' We offer a wide array of exquisite dishes that our customers praise as being 'all hits, no misses.' Enjoy them alongside our gyoza or as a culinary adventure all on their own.

  • Motsuni (Simmered Offal Stew) Soaked in Flavor

    Slow-simmered for hours, our 'Motsuni' is a classic Japanese tavern staple that warms you up in cold weather and whets your appetite with a cold beer in the summer. The carefully prepared offal is tender, free of any gaminess, and melts in your mouth. The daikon radish and konjac, thoroughly soaked in our special broth, are exceptionally flavorful. It's a dish guaranteed to make your drink go down smoothly.

  • Shiro Reba-sashi (White Liver Sashimi) Showcasing Freshness

    Our 'Shiro Reba-sashi,' made from fresh, carefully prepared white liver, is an irresistible treat for liver sashimi lovers. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, savory flavor fill your palate. As freshness is paramount for this dish, we are particularly selective about our ingredients and strive to serve it in its absolute best condition. Enjoy it with sesame oil and salt or our special sauce.

  • Umami Shimi-Shimi Tofu (Flavor-Infused Tofu) with a Gentle Taste

    For a dish that is simple yet profoundly flavorful, try our 'Umami Shimi-Shimi Tofu.' Simmered slowly until the savory essence of the dashi broth permeates to the core, this dish offers a gentle, comforting taste that warms the soul. Perfect as a side between drinks or as a finishing dish, it’s a delight for both the stomach and the heart. It’s a simple masterpiece that showcases the quality of its ingredients and broth, a true testament to our chefs' skill.

  • All-You-Can-Eat Otoshi (Appetizer) for 450 Yen
