Champagne Dumpling Bars

This Japanese Bar Spotlights Gyoza and Champagne Pairings

— March 18, 2017 — Lifestyle
Cheese and fruit are some of the most popular champagne pairings, but the Champagne & Gyoza Bar is a new destination in Akasaka, a residential and commercial district of Tokyo, Japan that explores an unlikely combination of food and drink.

True to its name, the Champagne & Gyoza Bar is a celebration of pan-fried dumplings and more than 30 different kinds of champagne. At the same time the dumplings are elevated by the prestige of champagne, in this context, the bubbly drink is also shown as an alcoholic drink that shouldn't just be reserved for special occasions.

In recent years, consumers have become increasingly interested in novel alcohol pairings, looking for advice on which drinks to consume with vegan fare, convenience store candies or even unexpected edibles like insects.
Trend Themes
1. Unusual Food and Drink Pairings - Bars and restaurants can capitalize on customers' desire for unique food and drink combinations, such as champagne and gyoza.
2. Alternative Champagne Consumption - Expanding the occasions and settings for drinking champagne, beyond just special occasions, can create new markets for the beverage industry.
3. Elevating Everyday Foods - Restaurants can differentiate themselves and add perceived value to their menus by pairing ordinary foods with more luxurious items like champagne.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Restaurants and bars can integrate champagne and gyoza pairings on their menus to attract customers interested in unique dining experiences.
2. Alcohol - Champagne companies can market their products as more than just celebratory drinks and promote alternative consumption occasions, such as pairing with dumplings.
3. Hospitality - Hotels can add value to their guest experiences by offering champagne and gyoza pairings as a unique amenity or room service option.
