Here are the details.
What is "Feast of Gastronomy - Sake vs. Wine Tasting Showdown 2024 -"?
"Feast of Gastronomy - Sake vs. Wine Tasting Showdown 2024 -" is an event where guests can enjoy new encounters between sake, wine, and a diverse range of cuisine, breaking free from traditional frameworks such as "sake for Japanese food" and "wine for Western food."
The main event will feature a "Sake and Wine Matching Vote," where a sommelier pairs wines and a certified sake sommelier (kikisake-shi) pairs sakes with masterful dishes prepared by Hotel Granvia Hiroshima's award-winning chefs.
The winner is determined by votes cast by the participating guests.
Furthermore, wines recommended by a Master Sommelier will also be up for grabs in a lottery.
About the Food and Wine Served
The dishes served at the main event will feature exquisite items carefully selected by Executive Chef Kuramitsu, Chinese cuisine recommended by Nutrition and Medicinal Diet Specialist Chef Yamamoto, and Japanese cuisine by Chef Tone, a prize winner at the Japanese Cuisine Skills Grand Prix.
Western dishes include bone-in Jamón Serrano and Peperoncino with Pickled Hiroshimana Greens and Whitebait; Chinese dishes include Blanched Squid with Fish Sauce and Koran-en Special Scallion Noodles; and Japanese dishes include Assorted Tempura (pike conger, pumpkin, myoga) and Nigiri Sushi (sea bream, Pacific bluefin tuna, simmered conger eel).
Meanwhile, beverages including pairings will feature approximately 20 types of sake and 20 types of wine, with the wines reportedly including varieties made from Koshu grapes and Muscat Bailey A.
This event offers the ultimate luxury and is a must-attend for alcohol enthusiasts.
