About this place
Diners praise the chewy texture of the gyoza at Pitcher Sour. A good place to start is with a choice between the signature juicy boiled gyoza and the hand-wrapped pan-fried version. The menu also has hot-and-sour soup gyoza and mala soup gyoza, offering a change from the pan-fried style. Coriander-topped and cheese-topped pan-fried gyoza are available too, so you could try a few varieties alongside the classics.
Alongside the gyoza, pork and prawn shumai are served in portions of 4 each. For something lighter, there is tuna and takuan with Korean seaweed, as well as lightly pickled celery, described as a palate cleanser. Drinks include beer, wine and cocktails, and happy-hour offers are available on food and drinks.
There is more than gyoza and small plates for those looking for a fuller meal: options include hot-and-sour noodles, salted offal yakisoba and pork kimchi rice. Oden ingredients such as daikon, egg and deep-fried tofu can be ordered individually, or as a chef’s selection of 5 pieces.
This casual Jiyugaoka izakaya caters to solo diners as well as groups. It offers dine-in service and accepts reservations.
