Aroma x Wine x Food Pairing - Tomoko Saito x Virtus #14
Aromas take us back to the places we visited, the times we spent, and they comfort us.
Wine has aromas and flavors depending on the variety of grape, region and production method.
In a new initiative, we are holding a seminar for participants to experience how pairing aromas with wine can change its taste and aroma, and there will also be food pairing.
The first lecturer was born the eldest daughter of a 10th generation Kyoto family. Tomoko Saito has been around traditional Japanese fragrance culture from her earliest days and is now an expert aroma designer focusing on natural essential oils.
She established "aroma design" as a speciality for designing aromas and creating special atmosphere in spaces, in her belief that "true aromas have the power to move people".
Saito-san has also created an original aroma for NOHGA HOTEL UENO.
The NOHGA HOTEL aroma and a number of others will be available at the event for you to enjoy pairing with wine and food.
The other lecturer is Yu Nakao, Virtus wine shop and importer.
An archaeology major, Nakao-san found a deepening interest in wine on a site excavation trip to Egypt, when the team uncovered ancient relics related to wine. After experience working in wine sales and importing, he established Virtus in 2015.
Bistro NOHGA buys mainly natural wine from Nakao-san.
In addition to a profound knowledge of the culture of wine, he is so eager to engage personally with winemakers that drinking wine with Nakao-san opens up a trove of stories about the passions and backgrounds of the producers, bringing a whole new resonance to the experience.
Nakao-san's stories are also compelling and reflect his soft and gentle character.
Aroma and dining are not often thought of together, but the gentle aroma of natural essential oils suits food very nicely. Bistro NOHGA chef Ebihara has prepared an original casual menu to match the aroma and wine. For this event, we offer an original dinner for one night only.
Aroma, wine and food.
Enjoy a pairing experience only available at NOHGA HOTEL. We look forward to seeing you there.
