In our last post, we told you about our exciting plans for the New Year, but we also want to mention the big event before New Year’s Day…

…and that’s Christmas!!

At Dai-ichi Takimotokan, we are planning a Christmas Fair that will recommend an array of delicious dishes paired with different sakes beginning November 25th until Christmas Day!

Currently, we have a wine sommelier and a Japanese sake and shochu sommelier, known in Japanese as Kikizake-shi, here at Dai-ichi Takimotokan.

During the Christmas Fair, we will prepare selections by Mr. Takahashi, our wine sommelier, and Mr. Sasaki, our sake sommelier, that match our buffet items.

Our sommelier, Mr.Takahashi is on the left, while Mr. Sasaki, our sake sommelier, is on the right.

Below is a photo of Takahashi’s recommendation, a delightful sparkling wine, Yellowglen Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay.

Part of Yellowglen’s Botanics series, the flavor is matched only by its gorgeous bottle! Takahashi recommends this sparkling chardonnay with the buffet as it refreshes and cleanses the palette between dishes. It also enhances the Christmas mood with its cheerful bubbles, and its deep fragrance is sure to please. Sasaki also recommends Mio, a sparkling Japanese sake, which has been popular with our female guests since we began selling it!

The wine is 648 yen (tax included) per glass; however, during the Christmas Fair, one glass is included with the buffet plan.

If you would like to participate in this delightful holiday plan, please make a reservation to let us know!

Details of the Christmas Fair are available here.

This year, please join us for a wonderful holiday celebration at Dai-ichi Takimotokan where we hope our selection of fine food and liquors will warm you as much our lovely baths!
