[The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon] The Jade Room + Garden Terrace Hosts 'Discovery Kyushu' Pairing Dinner, Exploring Kyushu's Fine Wines and Gastronomy

The Jade Room + Garden Terrace, the signature restaurant at The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon, will host a pairing dinner that focuses on the currently trending alcoholic beverages of Kyushu—a treasure trove of food blessed with a mild climate and abundant nature—enjoyed alongside a course meal utilizing carefully selected ingredients from the same region. Kyushu is known not only for its traditional regional shochu and sake, but also as a high-quality wine-producing region, currently drawing passionate attention from Japanese wine enthusiasts.

For the pairing, we have prepared a lineup that highlights regional individuality. This includes 'Ajimu Wine' in Oita Prefecture, chosen as Western Japan's only five-star winery; 'Kikuka Winery' in Kumamoto Prefecture, a regular top prize winner at the Japan Wine Competition; and 'Tsuno Wine' in Miyazaki Prefecture, brewed with 100% locally grown grapes under the creed of 'brewing culture'. It also features 'HITOYA', a shochu appealing for its complex depth from long-term storage and elegant taste, and 'Tanaka Rokugo', known for its 'Onko Soshin' (learning from the past to create the new) sake brewing that fuses traditional methods with modern technology.

The cuisine uses ingredients handpicked from all seven prefectures of Kyushu, including flavor-rich Sujiara from Nagasaki Prefecture, Kagoshima Kuroge Wagyu beef characterized by its premium meat quality, Yuba from Fukuoka Prefecture, red eggplant and Amanatsu from Kumamoto Prefecture, as well as seasonal vegetables arriving from Saga and Oita Prefectures. Through the chef's masterful techniques, the strength and delicacy inherent in each ingredient are elevated into every single dish.

'Through our promotions so far, we feel the growing demand for Japanese wine at our restaurant every day. Now, we receive many requests even from our international guests. The Kyushu area we are featuring this time can be said to be the hottest area right now among Japanese wine enthusiasts. Kyushu is a region that retains a strong sense of history, where diverse cultures intertwine. In addition to the culture of shochu and sake, wine culture has also taken root. Blessed with a mild climate and a rich natural environment, I hope to raise a glass with everyone to a cup created by highly individualistic producers, and explore the origins of Japanese wine together.' — Head Sommelier Masakatsu Yatabe

While situated in the heart of a grand metropolis, we deliver a special moment where you can feel the depth of Kyushu's nature, culture, and terroir.
