Dassai Pairing Dinner “A Feast in the Blue Afterglow” at Japanese Restaurant AOMI
On Saturday, October 25, 2025, we will hold a special dinner event at Japanese restaurant “AOMI” featuring the globally renowned Japanese sake “Dassai.”
A Feast in the Blue Afterglow
Hiroyuki Kurosu of Tokyo’s “Kagurazaka Kurosu,” a consultant for the Japanese cuisine “AOMI,” will present dishes that incorporate the rich natural ingredients of Okinawa, with its beautiful blue sky, ocean, and mountains, as well as the flavors of the four seasons from around Japan. This special dish is inspired by the shifting blue of the cedar ball (sugidama), symbolizing the deepening flavor of sake as it ages. The dish arrangement will evoke the image of cedar balls, and Dassai will also use its sake lees. Additionally, the dinner will feature pairings with six different brands of Dassai, including “DASSAI BLUE” made in New York State, USA. Mr. Naoya Matsufuji, the brand director of Dassai, will join us for this special evening. Please enjoy this unique evening indulging in the lingering blue of sake and kaiseki cuisine, perfect for an autumn night.
This exceptional event was made possible through the collaboration between Dassai, a globally celebrated sake brand enjoyed in over 30 countries, and Halekulani Okinawa, a resort dedicated to crafting a truly unique luxury experience. With the traditional art of sake brewing recently recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, the global appreciation for sake continues to grow, bringing the essence of Japanese craftsmanship to the world.
