Wine & Japanese Food Pairing Night at KUURAKU – Grover Wines, Authentic Japanese Cuisine & Expert Tasting
About the Event
An Elegant Evening of Japanese Cuisine and Fine Wine

Step into an elegant autumn evening inspired by the flavours, traditions and culinary character of Japan, as carefully selected Grover wines meet authentic Japanese cuisine at KUURAKU.

The Wine & Japanese Food Pairing Night is an intimate dining experience designed for food and wine enthusiasts who enjoy discovering how different flavours, textures and aromas work together.

Throughout the evening, guests will experience a thoughtfully curated selection of three Grover wines — sparkling, white and red — paired with specially crafted Japanese dishes.

The pairing experience is designed to explore how different wine styles complement the delicate flavours, textures and umami-rich character of Japanese cuisine.

Adding an educational element to the evening, Manuela, Wine Expert from Grover, will guide guests through the tasting and pairing experience, sharing insights into wine tasting techniques, flavour profiles and the principles behind successful food and wine combinations.

With both vegetarian and non-vegetarian pairing options available, the evening offers a structured culinary experience in a comfortable indoor setting.

Three wines. Authentic Japanese cuisine. Expert guidance. One intimate evening of discovery.

Discover Japanese Food and Wine Pairing

Japanese cuisine is celebrated for its balance, delicate preparation, varied textures and distinctive umami flavours.

Pairing it with wine creates an opportunity to explore how different characteristics in a wine can complement particular ingredients and dishes.

During this curated experience, guests will be introduced to sparkling, white and red Grover wines, each selected as part of the overall pairing menu.

Rather than simply serving wine alongside food, the event is designed to help guests understand why certain combinations work.

The evening provides an opportunity to notice differences in:

Flavour
Aroma
Texture
Acidity
Richness
Balance
Umami
Wine body and profile

The guided format makes the tasting experience both social and educational.

Three Curated Grover Wines

The wine selection features three curated Grover wines, representing three different styles:

Sparkling Wine

The sparkling wine forms one part of the curated tasting journey, introducing a lighter and refreshing style to the pairing experience.

White Wine

The white wine allows guests to explore a different flavour and texture profile alongside the specially selected Japanese dishes.

Red Wine

The red wine adds a fuller style to the tasting journey and demonstrates another way wine can interact with Japanese ingredients and richer flavour profiles.

Together, the three wines create a structured progression through the evening.

Authentic Japanese Food Pairings

The wines will be served alongside specially crafted Japanese dishes, allowing guests to explore the relationship between Japanese flavours and different wine styles.

The experience focuses on the interaction between the dishes and the wines rather than treating either element separately.

Japanese cuisine's emphasis on balance, freshness, texture and umami creates an interesting foundation for wine pairing, giving guests plenty to discover throughout the meal.

The event is presented as a curated experience, meaning the food and wine are selected as a complete pairing journey.

Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Options

The pairing experience includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

Guests should note that the experience is designed as a set menu and that individual dish selections are not available during the session.

Those with specific dietary restrictions or food allergies are requested to inform the restaurant in advance.

Menu substitutions may not be possible on the day of the event, so communicating dietary requirements before attending is recommended.

Meet Manuela, Wine Expert from Grover

An important part of the evening is the opportunity to learn directly from Manuela, Wine Expert from Grover.

Manuela will provide guidance throughout the tasting, helping guests understand the different wines and how they interact with the accompanying Japanese dishes.

The session will include insights into:

Wine Tasting

Discover how to observe and appreciate the characteristics of a wine.

Pairing Techniques

Learn some of the basic principles used to match food and wine.

Flavour Profiles

Understand how different flavour characteristics can complement or contrast with food.

Wine and Japanese Cuisine

Explore how sparkling, white and red wines can interact with delicate flavours, textures and umami.

The guided format makes the evening suitable for both experienced wine enthusiasts and guests who simply want to learn more about wine.

An Intimate Dining Experience

The event is designed as an intimate evening for food and wine enthusiasts.

Rather than a large, open-format celebration, the pairing focuses on conversation, tasting and discovery.

Guests can enjoy the experience in an indoor air-conditioned venue with pre-assigned seating, creating a comfortable environment for the guided session.

The seated format also makes it easier to focus on the food, wine and discussion taking place throughout the evening.

A Curated Set Menu Experience

The Wine & Japanese Food Pairing Night is designed to be enjoyed as a complete set menu.

Individual dish selections are not available during the session because the dishes are curated specifically to complement the wines being served.

This allows the organisers to maintain the intended sequence and pairing structure throughout the experience.

Guests are encouraged to approach the evening as a complete culinary journey, moving through the selected food and wine combinations rather than choosing dishes independently.
