Sake, Japan’s revered rice wine, is a true expression of tradition. Each variety in this pairing carries notes that complement the textures and flavors of every dish. This March 30, a culinary expedition awaits you, jetting you off a plane and bringing you straight to Japan.

We’re starting off strong with Duck Misoyaki for the first course, a baked duck marinated in sweet miso paste, paired with the light and refreshing Mio Sparkling Sake. Alongside this is the Seared Tuna Carpaccio, thinly sliced and served with vegetables and a spicy soy vinaigrette, complemented by the clean, gentle rice flavor notes of Hakkaisan Junmai Ginjo. The first course concludes with Salmon Caprese, an amalgamation of house-smoked salmon, cheese, fruit, and vegetables, balanced by the acidity of Shichida Junmai Ginjo 13.

The second course takes you on a coastal adventure with Red Snapper Dry Aging Sashimi, cured with kelp and served with a soy seaweed seasoning sauce. This dish is paired with warm Gekkeikan Hot in Junmai Daiginjo, which highlights the depth of its umami flavors.

Now, for the main event, the third course features Charcoal-Grilled Angus Beef Tenderloin, served with soy vinaigrette and paired with Shichida Junmai Yamahai Umakuchi, a sake known for its rich, bold taste that enhances the smoky tenderness of the beef.

As we near the end of this adventure with the fourth course, the Deep-Fried Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura offers a light, crispy bite, coated in Japanese tempura batter and balanced by the smooth, slightly fruity Kuroushi Junmai Ginjo Omachi.

Finally, the Chasoba Salada delivers a satisfying conclusion with green tea-flavored buckwheat noodles and vegetables, paired with Chiyomusubi Tokubetsu Junmai, a sake with earthy, umami notes that provide a refreshing finish.
