A Gourmet Collaboration: Sushi Saito Meets Dom Pérignon

On October 10, 2026, a remarkable culinary experience unfolds at Sushi Saito in Roppongi, Tokyo. This exclusive one-day event, titled "DOM PÉRIGNON DINNERS – HARMONY EDITION," celebrates the delicate balance of flavors that can only be achieved through a union of exceptional sushi and prestigious champagne. The pairing event is centered around Dom Pérignon's 2026 theme of "Harmony," exploring the beautiful dialogue that exists between contrasting elements — just like the nuanced pairing of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

A Symphony of Flavors

The harmony that Dom Pérignon seeks extends beyond mere taste; it embodies emotion and creativity. Renowned chefs from the global Dom Pérignon Society interpret this vision through their unique culinary perspectives. The collaboration with Takashi Saito, the esteemed chef of Sushi Saito, aims to express this concept of harmony through sushi, emphasizing how both the champagne and the sushi can elevate one another's distinct characteristics. The result is a culinary experience that transcends simple pairing to create a new and exquisite flavor profile that neither could achieve alone.

Takashi Saito has emphasized the importance of simplicity and clarity in his sushi. He believes that each piece should reflect the essence of its ingredients, shaped by a moment of mindfulness in the act of preparation. For the upcoming collaboration with Dom Pérignon, Saito is keen to showcase how each unique vintage of Champagne can enhance the qualities of his expertly crafted sushi.
