Enjoy a New Culinary Experience: Gyoza Pairing Fair Launching Soon!

Elevating Gyoza: A New Pairing Experience

Shibuya Gyoza, operated by MP Kitchen Holdings and located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to revolutionize the way we enjoy gyoza. Starting February 16, 2026, the establishment will launch the 'Adult Gyoza Pairing Fair'—a limited-time event focusing on sophisticated gyoza pairings that step away from traditional beer or lemon sour drinks.

The allure of this event lies not only in the flavors but also in the unexpected combinations that promise to delight guests’ palates. Inspired by European cuisine, Shibuya Gyoza has crafted innovative gyoza flavors to enjoy with a spritzer—a refreshing drink made by mixing wine with soda. This pairing aims to introduce a new gastronomic choice for Shibuya’s vibrant nightlife.

The Concept: Moving Beyond Traditional Drink Choices

For a long time, the pairing of gyoza with beer or lemon sour has been a staple in Japanese cuisine. While this combination has its merits, Shibuya Gyoza is determined to elevate the experience even further. The restaurant's new offerings maintain the classic appearance of gyoza while boasting rich, gourmet flavors that transport diners into the realm of fine dining. Each bite invites you to discover an exquisite ‘gyoza marriage’ with the aromatic spritzer, creating a culinary adventure.
