Nara Hotel Co., Ltd. (1096 Takahata-cho, Nara City, President: Ryuta Harada) will be holding its popular regular event, "Enjoying Nara Sake Tasting," at its Japanese restaurant "Hanagiku" on Sunday, April 21, 2024, starting at 12:00.

The "Nara Sake Tasting Event" is a popular event at the Japanese restaurant "Hanagiku," where guests can enjoy the perfect pairing of sake from three breweries in Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of sake, with Japanese cuisine. On the day of the event, guests can enjoy their meal while listening to talks from representatives of each brewery and our staff members who hold SAKE DIPLOMA qualifications.
The main focus of the event will be Nara sake, and we will be offering three brands: Umenoyado Junmai Ginjo from Umenoyado Brewery, which boasts a mild aroma and a refreshing, crisp, and light taste; Shusse Otoko from Kawai Brewery, which has an excellent balance of umami and acidity; and Hyakurakumon from Katsuragi Brewery, which is brewed with the underground water of the Kongo Mountains and has a rich flavor and a clean finish.
The dishes will be a special event-only menu created by the chef of the Japanese restaurant "Hanagiku" to pair with sake, and will be served on plates engraved with Nara Hotel 's lantern design. Ingredients such as bamboo shoots and clams will be used, and the menu will be full of seasonal flavors. In particular, the "Scallop and Cabbage with Cherry Blossom Flavored Egg Omelet" is a dish that makes you feel the arrival of spring, with a light cherry blossom aroma lingering in the aftertaste.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy a precious dining experience where you can meet the sake brewers in person and savor the perfect pairing of sake and food.
