Kimura Glass: A Tasting Seminar to Enjoy Wine and Glass Pairings No.1
Slender and light, the pleasure of using these glasses defies explanation.
This will be the first seminar to enjoy natural wine and glass pairings using glassware from "Kimura Glass," a brand renowned by culinary professionals.
This seminar will be lead by Yutaro Kimura of "Kimura Glass" (creator of wine glasses featured at NOHGA HOTEL), Yu Nakao of "VIRTUS Wine" (now establishing its head office in Yanaka) and Naoki Yamada of Shiga Prefecture's "Hitomi Winery".
Wines to perfectly complement each will be sourced from Hitomi Winery, selected by the hosts. This is a unique opportunity to inquire and learn about the stories and emotions behind the cultivation and production of wine. We welcome you to enjoy the delicious differences in flavor and texture of each wine as we taste them from various glasses.
*Actual menu may vary
In addition, Bistro NOHGA will be preparing a course dinner for participants of this seminar. Come enjoy pairing a natural wine with the accentuated flavors of the natural ingredients of our dishes.
Each seminar participant will receive a 15oz "Piccolo" wine glass, a Kimura Glass piece also used at Bistro NOHGA. We hope you will join us for this unique opportunity.
On following Sunday January 27th, Yu Nakao of "VIRTUS Wine" and Hirotaka Meguro from Sendai Prefecture winery "Fattoria AL FIORE" will host the second seminar (See details from here) Feel free to participate both dates or either one.
