Discovery Kyushu Dinner Special Page
Blessed with a warm climate and abundant natural beauty, Kyushu is a true treasure trove of gastronomy. Renowned for its traditional shochu and sake, the region has also emerged as a distinguished wine-producing area, increasingly drawing the attention of Japanese wine enthusiasts.
This exclusive dining experience celebrates Kyushu’s most compelling beverages, thoughtfully paired with a seasonal course menu crafted from premium ingredients sourced across the region.
The pairing selection features an exceptional lineup, including wines from Ajimu Winery, the only five-star winery in Western Japan, alongside celebrated producers such as Kikuka Winery, a consistent award winner at the Japan Wine Competition, and Tsunowine, which crafts wines exclusively from 100 percent locally grown grapes guided by a philosophy of “brewing culture.” The experience is further complemented by HITOYA Shochu, prized for its depth, complexity, and refined elegance developed through long-term aging.
The dinner course menu showcases the richness of Kyushu’s terroir through ingredients sourced from all seven prefectures. From umami-rich leopard cora grouper from Nagasaki, Kagoshima black beef, delicate yuba from Fukuoka, vibrant red eggplant and amanatsu citrus from Kumamoto, to fresh seasonal vegetables from Saga and Oita—each element is elevated through refined culinary craftsmanship, expressing the unique character and vitality of the region.
We invite you to immerse yourself in the depth of Kyushu’s nature and cultural heritage through this curated pairing dinner—an experience that brings the spirit of the region to the heart of the city.
“Through our previous programs, we have witnessed a growing appreciation for Japanese wine, now increasingly embraced by our international guests.

Rich in history and shaped by a diverse cultural landscape, it is a place where traditions of shochu and sake coexist alongside a rapidly evolving wine culture. Blessed with a warm climate and fertile land, Kyushu is home to passionate producers crafting wines of remarkable individuality. We invite you to join us in discovering the origins of Japanese wine through the distinctive expressions of Kyushu.”
