Phone: +81 362 751 366
Address: THE V-CITY, Ⅰ AVENUE 1F奥, 2-chōme-4−2 Azabujūban, Minato City
Best By-the-Glass List Japan 2026
Gyoza Bar Chaozu is very much what it sounds like – a small bar and restaurant focusing on gyoza dumplings and, while it does serve other dishes, we do recommend the dumplings in particular. But besides those, this place has become famous for its outstanding selection of sparkling wines, Champagne especially. The colourful wine list contains an impressive selection of grower Champagnes coupled with important houses and plenty of back vintages. If you’re in the mood for still wines, there is also a strong selection of whites and reds, including quite a few from Burgundy.
