Consider this your invitation to join Kappo’s Research & Development Team. 🍶
On Friday, November 13, our own Brian Hong will lead the conversation as we explore the sake of Niigata alongside Leo Yoshimura, Junko Tominaga, and Sake Samurai Timothy Sullivan.
Featuring Kikusui, Kubota & Hakkaisan, the evening will be a deep dive into Niigata’s signature Tanrei 淡麗 Karakuchi 辛口 style—paired with a first taste of dishes from Kappo’s upcoming winter menu.
But this isn’t just a tasting…We want your palate at the table.
Taste alongside us. Talk through the pairings with Brian and our team. Debate your favorites. Cast your vote.
Your selections will help shape Kappo’s Taste of Niigata Pairing Menu for Winter 2026.
