An Exclusive Evening at Roppongi Sushi Yu

On August 21, 2026, Roppongi Sushi Yu is set to host a special dinner featuring Japan's celebrated sake brand, Uta Shiro. This one-night-only event invites guests to indulge in exquisite sushi crafted by Chef Yamashita, known for his experience at two Michelin-starred restaurants and Kyoto's long-established Nakamura-Rou.

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience

An exploration of flavors awaits attendees as this event will showcase a full-course Kaiseki sushi dining experience complemented by a tasting of Uta Shiro. Welcoming Seichi Kato, the young and visionary sake brewer behind Uta Shiro, diners will be treated to a selection of 8 to 10 different sake types, celebrated for their freshness and lightness, which harmonize beautifully with each culinary dish.

Chef Yamashita's Masterful Touch

The culinary journey designed by Chef Yamashita emphasizes the use of seasonal and luxurious ingredients. Each dish has been meticulously crafted to resonate with the distinct flavors of the Uta Shiro sake, resulting in a dining experience that is not only unique but also educational. As the evening progresses, Chef Yamashita will share insights into the dishes, the seasonal ingredients, and the art of sushi-making, bringing a deeper appreciation for Japan's rich culinary heritage.

Sake and Storytelling

Uta Shiro, emerging from the Sado Island brewery that faced closure, has quickly ascended to the top ranks of Niigata's sake. This remarkable turnaround was orchestrated by Kato, a determined youth who, despite hurdles, redefined his family's legacy to produce a sake recognized for its elegance. Guests at Sushi Yu will have the unique opportunity to engage with Kato at their table, discussing the philosophy and challenges involved in modern-day sake brewing.

A Private Atmosphere

With only 8 seats available, this intimate event allows for personal interactions between attendees and the sake maker, as well as meaningful dialogues around the flavors and experiences shared. It is designed to enchant all five senses and celebrate the beauty of Japanese food culture. This meticulous dining presentation is not just a meal; it's a journey through taste and tradition.
