CAVA DISCOVERY WEEK in Tokyo: A Journey of Taste

The much-anticipated CAVA DISCOVERY WEEK is set to return in 2025, inviting food lovers to indulge in a unique culinary experience paired with exquisite Spanish sparkling wine, CAVA. Organized by the CAVA Denomination of Origin Regulatory Board in Spain, this event will take place from October 20 to October 31, 2025, at seven distinguished restaurants in Tokyo’s Aoyama and Roppongi district. With a focus on sustainability, tradition, and a commitment to quality, participants will enjoy carefully crafted pairings of CAVA and gourmet dishes from some of the city’s best chefs.

What to Expect

Now in its fifth year, CAVA DISCOVERY WEEK will feature an array of carefully selected dining establishments, including:

- Towa (Japanese cuisine)
- Shirosaka (Japanese cuisine)
- Akanezaka Onuma (Japanese cuisine)
- Ma Cuisine (French cuisine)
- Series (Chinese cuisine)
- Filemone (Italian cuisine)

Each restaurant will showcase a special menu that pairs CAVA selections with their signature dishes. Wine lovers will be delighted to sample the CAVA de Guarda Superior, made from 100% organic grapes sourced from vineyards over ten years old, at all participating venues. Expect exquisite CAVA varieties, including Reserva (aged over 18 months), Gran Reserva (aged over 30 months), and Paraje Calificado (aged over 36 months), expertly paired to elevate each dish. In total, the event will feature 14 different CAVA brands from 13 wineries, providing guests with a diverse tasting experience across the various establishments.

CAVA: A Sparkling Wine Tradition

CAVA, known for its rich heritage and meticulous production methods, is celebrated for its ability to complement a wide range of culinary styles – from Japanese and French to Italian and Chinese. The sparkling wine undergoes a traditional bottle fermentation process that gives it its distinctive complexity. With an exacting commitment to origin, terroir, and sustainability, CAVA promises to enhance any dining experience.

This year's CAVA DISCOVERY WEEK will provide an opportunity for guests to explore how CAVA can harmoniously elevate flavors, transcending cultural and culinary boundaries. Each chef involved will craft a unique dish that complements the sparkling wine, making this a must-attend event for food enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs alike.
