Six Pairing Foods Featuring Niigata Specialties

The new "Kubota Senju Junmai Ginjo" retains the clean, crisp character of "Kubota Senju" while offering a gentle aroma and a well-balanced flavor profile that complements, rather than overpowers, food. It is a Junmai Ginjo sake crafted for culinary harmony.

It has a soft mouthfeel and a dry finish. When chilled, a subtle acidity and a clean aftertaste emerge. As it warms to room temperature, the acidity becomes more pronounced, leaving a lingering umami finish.

At this pop-up bar, in addition to "Kubota Senju Junmai Ginjo," seven Kubota varieties will be available, including "Kubota Manju" and "Kubota Junmai Daiginjo," served chilled or warm.

Visitors can also enjoy original sake cocktails, creatively prepared using "Kubota Senju Junmai Ginjo" and "Kubota Junmai Daiginjo."

The food menu features six dishes, primarily pairing options made with Niigata prefectural specialties. These include CONTAINER DOG with Kagura Nanban miso, a Nagaoka specialty, and smoked daikon radish topped with cream cheese marinated in Asahi Shuzo's sake lees.

Furthermore, during the event period, "KUBOTA SAKE BEGINNER SALON" will be held to offer a casual introduction to sake for novices, and "KUBOTA SAKE BREWING SALON" will provide opportunities to deepen understanding of Kubota by tasting its undiluted sake (genshu) and more.

Additionally, workshops will be offered to explore new ways to enjoy sake, such as a "Sake Cocktail! Experience" led by flair bartender Keisuke Yamamoto and a "Spice & Herb! and Sake Experience" with spice and herb advisor Miya Ohira.
