Meieki Happy Hour: 'When Does It Start? How Late Does It Go?' Your Guide to New Kamura's Best Times

Many of you might consider taking advantage of Meieki Happy Hour on days you finish work early or during a leisurely weekend afternoon. Enjoying delicious food and drinks at a great price without watching the clock is pure bliss. However, most places have limited happy hour times. At New Kamura Meieki Nichome Branch, we'll clearly answer your questions about 'when it starts and how late you can enjoy it!'

Don't Miss the Happy Hour Start Times!

  • Weekdays and Weekends! Enjoy from Early Hours: New Kamura opens at 4 PM on weekdays and, remarkably, at 12 PM on weekends and public holidays. These early opening hours are a major draw for fully enjoying Meieki Happy Hour. Since we open earlier than most izakayas, you can head straight here after work and start your drinks leisurely in a calm, less crowded atmosphere. On weekends, you can even indulge in the luxury of toasting with delicious gyoza and beer from lunchtime.
  • This is the Time to Enjoy Great Deals!: The term 'Happy Hour' itself signifies a period where food and drinks are offered at more affordable prices than usual. At New Kamura, classic drinks like draft beer, lemon sour, and highballs are available from 500 yen each. This pricing is especially appealing for those looking for a quick drink ('saku-nomi') early in the evening. By aiming for the pre-rush hours, you can also fully experience the attentive service of our energetic staff.
  • Stress-Free Visits with Ample Time: While New Kamura is bustling daily during peak hours, happy hour often allows for smoother seating. It's the perfect environment for spontaneous get-togethers or a casual solo drink. We also have counter seats, so feel free to drop by without hesitation.

New Kamura's wide variety of original gyoza and carefully crafted specialty dishes elevate happy hour into a truly special occasion. Here, we'll introduce some recommended pairings from our extensive menu, especially for you to savor during happy hour.

Start with This! Popular No. 1 'Half-Fried Young Chicken' and Classic Drinks

  • An Unmissable Signature Dish: Among our many offerings, the Half-Fried Young Chicken shines as our most popular item and is a must-order from the start. Its skin is crispy and fragrant, while the inside is astonishingly juicy. With every bite, the rich flavor spreads throughout your mouth, bringing an instant smile to your face. This piping hot fried chicken pairs perfectly with cold draft beer, refreshing lemon sour, or highballs. Savor this signature taste while enjoying these drinks at happy hour prices.
  • Variety of Flavors with Selectable Dipping Sauces: At New Kamura, we offer several types of special dipping sauces for free. Skillfully utilizing these sauces allows you to enjoy not only the half-fried young chicken but also the gyoza (which we'll introduce later) with various flavors without getting bored.

We recommend ordering several types to compare and enjoy the differences.
  • A Must-See for Lemon Sour Lovers! Exclusive Gyoza: What's truly astonishing is the existence of our Lemon Sour Exclusive Gyoza.
