Kimoto Glassware x Nagai Shuzo : Japanese Sake Glass Seminar #18
If there are wine glasses, why aren't there sake glasses?
It is with this question in mind that Kimoto Glassware's "es" was created.
At NOHGA HOTEL UENO, we will be holding Part 7 of our most popular seminar, pairing different glass designs with various sakes.
Our guest lecturer this time is Noriyoshi Nagai, sixth generation owner of Nagai Shuzo sake brewery.
Nagai Style is a new proposition for Japanese sake.
It was launched in 2008 as a first for the industry using secondary fermentation in bottles to create sparkling sake.
The concept of the range is to make sake that appeals to a global market.
Nagai studied wine in the Champagne region of France and applied atypical fermentation methods to take the Japanese culture of rice wine to the world.
In 2013, Nagai developed Vintage Sake, a new concept of sake in which the taste only becomes evident with the passage of time.
In 2014 it announced Dessert Sake, completing the Nagai Style range for customers to enjoy sake matched with the whole of dinner from entrees to mains and dessert.
Enjoy Nagai Style with a Bistro NOHGA original course dinner, available for one night only.
Back again as our main lecturer will be president of Kimoto Glassware, Seiichi Kimoto.
Mr. Kimoto has garnered well-earned respect and acclaim in the sake and glassware worlds for his vast glassware knowledge, unmistakable charm, and dedication to creating new and original ways to enjoy sake.
What's more, participants will enjoy the ever-popular sake-pairing Bistro NOHGA Original Course Dinner.
This event is not just a sake and glass pairing, but a food and sake pairing as well.
Pleasant surprises in our pairing menu await!
This is an extremely popular seminar and seats fill up fast.
Book early. We look forward to your attendance.
