The Minamisanriku Tourism Association will host the "Minamisanriku Winery Dinner" on Saturday, July 23, 2022, offering an opportunity to savor cuisine and wine that can only be experienced in Minamisanriku.
Participation in this winery dinner is available exclusively to winners selected by lottery after registering for the newsletter issued by the Minamisanriku Tourism Association and completing a questionnaire.
Let us take a look at what the event has in store.
About This Project
The "Minamisanriku Winery Dinner" was planned by the Minamisanriku Tourism Association with the hope of providing people who have refrained from going out for so long during the COVID-19 pandemic with an opportunity to travel.
Minamisanriku Winery is known for its undersea-aged wine produced in collaboration with local fishermen, and this special event offers participants the chance to observe the retrieval of wine submerged in the sea, followed by a pairing dinner.
Incidentally, dinner will be prepared by a chef who is also a local coho salmon fisherman.
The organizers hope that guests will release the travel desires they held back during nearly two years of self-restraint and fully enjoy the feeling of traveling in Minamisanriku.
What is "Undersea Wine Aging"?
"Undersea wine aging" is one of the initiatives started from the desire to create delicious wines unique to Minamisanriku.
Submerging wine in the sea is said to accelerate its aging through gentle vibrations and temperature fluctuations; the process of wine aging mellowly embraced by Shizugawa Bay is truly a marriage of the sea and mountains.
As an initiative embodying the wish to "convey the charm of Minamisanriku through wine together with local people," it is drawing attention from a wide range of industries.
