The Depth of Flavor in Sake Brought Out by the [Taiwanese Motsunabe Course]
The “Taiwanese Offal Hot Pot Course,” with its stimulating spiciness that whets your appetite, features a bold flavor that makes the drinks go down even smoother. The appeal of this course lies in the soup, where spiciness and umami intertwine in perfect harmony. Connoisseurs enjoy pairing this rich flavor with carbonated drinks or crisp spirits. The sensation of reaching for the next bite or the next drink while refreshing your palate is truly the essence of food and drink pairing. The generous portion size—featuring a total of eight dishes—is another highlight, and it’s sure to satisfy both your stomach and your soul. Spending time in a private room, free from distractions, fully savoring the contrast between spicy dishes and cold drinks creates a truly special evening. This is the perfect course for those planning a meal with friends or a party with a unique twist.
A Special Pairing Experience with the [East-West Fusion Course]
Our “Japanese-Western Fusion Course” is one of the most luxurious offerings on our menu, featuring a eight-course meal that blends Japanese and Western elements. Since each dish offers a unique flavor profile, this course allows you to embark on a “journey of wine pairing,” changing the wine you pair with your meal as you go. For example, you might pair a light drink with the appetizer and a slightly richer one with the main meat course—there’s great joy in discovering combinations that suit your personal taste. Because every seat is in a private room, you can fully immerse yourself in the harmony of the food and drinks while enjoying conversation. This course is perfect for special occasions, such as anniversaries or dinners with someone special. Why not treat yourself to a night that’s a cut above the rest with this course, available for 7,000 yen (tax included) instead of the regular price of 7,700 yen (tax included)?
