sawa x Kuheiji@Kaneyoshi Little Tokyo ★★★

sawa x Kuhieji Sake VIP Night Event with Live Zoom Tour. Best ever. Presented by Shota-san from Fifth Taste. Fantastic Omakase by Anthony and Ryo-san. Live Zoom tour with Kuheiji-san at Kuheiji Sake Brewery in Nagoya & Domaine Kuheiji vineyard in France with Hirotaka Ito. Introducing Kuheiji wines from France, launching at Michelin star restaurants in LA on this day. Special Event: $430 Omakase Course with Kuheiji Wine & Sake Pairing included. They went $100pp over budget for the ingredients, but they did not increase the price because Yoshi-san (Kaneyoshi) wanted everyone to have a good time at the event.
