This dinner explores the rich world of umami, the elusive "fifth taste", through a curated multi-course menu of Japanese-inspired dishes, each intentionally paired with regional sakes that enhance and elevate the flavor profile.


Guests are invited on a culinary journey where miso, dashi, fermented soy, seaweed, and aged fish create a base of flavor that’s mirrored, contrasted, or amplified by each sake.
