Experience Wine Like Never Before at Wine Salon KNOT

A new journey into the world of wine awaits at Wine Salon KNOT, located in the heart of Minami Aoyama, Tokyo. Beginning on June 16, 2025, this popular wine bar, operated by Asita no Wine Co., will introduce an innovative service known as the Open Blind Tasting. This interactive tasting experience is designed to refine one’s palate and expand wine knowledge for both novices and seasoned tasters.

What is Open Blind Tasting?

Unlike traditional blind tastings where the wine labels, origins, and grape varieties remain a mystery, the Open Blind Tasting presents participants with various options beforehand. This unique twist allows wine enthusiasts to guess which wine they are sampling from the selection provided, making it a more engaging and informative experience.

The format of Open Blind Tasting is particularly appealing as it lowers the bar for newcomers. It allows for enjoyable participation without the intimidation that often accompanies customary blind tastings. After each guess, participants immediately learn the correct answer, encouraging them to reflect on their tasting decisions and cultivate a deeper understanding of wine.

Professional sommeliers and advanced aficionados will also find tremendous value in this format. It serves as an effective training method to enhance memory and sensory accuracy as they compare their guesses to the identified wines.

Who is it For?

Open Blind Tasting is perfect for:

• - Those who have recently developed an interest in wine.
• - Individuals looking to improve their tasting skills.
• - Friends or partners seeking an enjoyable learning experience together.
• - Those preparing for wine-related certifications or competitions.
• - Wine lovers hoping to develop a refined palate.

Don’t worry about your knowledge level! This experience emphasizes feeling, thinking, and comparing, providing a welcoming space to explore the world of wine.
