For anyone who enjoys blind tasting wine, Wine Salon KNOT in Minami-Aoyama has launched an “Open Blind Tasting” service from Monday, June 16, 2025.
Here are the details.
What is “Open Blind Tasting”?
The service is offered by Wine Salon KNOT, a wine bar in Minami-Aoyama.
In ordinary blind tasting, information such as label, origin, and grape variety is concealed and tasters try to identify the wine. In “Open Blind Tasting,” several possible choices are shown in advance and participants guess which one matches the wine being served.
The format is somewhat easier than a standard blind tasting, making it accessible to beginners and intermediate tasters.
Service details
The experience is recommended for:
• People newly interested in wine
• Those wanting to improve tasting skills
• Friends or partners looking for an educational shared experience
• People training for wine qualifications or competitions
• Wine lovers who want to develop a more discerning palate
The service costs ¥2,200 including tax for three wines of 50 ml each, served in INAO-standard glasses.
