Sushi Yu, a sushi restaurant located in Roppongi, Tokyo, will host a one-night-only special dinner event titled 'Utashiro Makers Dinner' on August 21, 2025 (Friday), themed around the renowned sake 'Utashiro' from Niigata Prefecture's Sado Island. The event will feature Utashiro sake, which has recently risen to the third position in the Niigata sake rankings, along with a full course of Japanese cuisine and sushi.
Event Details:
The event will welcome Kato Senei, the brewery owner of Utashiro from Niigata Prefecture's Sado Island, and will feature 8-10 types of Utashiro sake along with a full course of Japanese cuisine and sushi.
A young person in their 20s who took over a brewery on the verge of closure has, after trial and error, achieved a 'new Niigata lightness'—fresh and light, with a beautiful taste that complements the food, creating a special dining table for one night only.
The chef in charge is Chef Yamashita, who has experience at Kyoto's renowned ryotei 'Nakamura-Ro' and Michelin Guide two-star listed restaurants. The luxurious seasonal ingredients used in the kaiseki sushi full course are delicately and powerfully paired with each type of Utashiro sake. The event will feature explanations by the brewery owner, allowing guests to deeply appreciate the charm of sake and the philosophy of sake brewing in a special night that can only be experienced here.
The capacity is limited to just 8 people. Guests will enjoy the essence of Japanese food culture with all five senses in a private space where they can converse and exchange cups with the brewery owner at the same table.
