Date: April 21, 2024 (Sunday) 12:00-13:30
……
Nara Hotel Co., Ltd. (1096 Takahata-cho, Nara City, President and CEO: Ryuta Harada) will hold the popular “Nara Sake Drink Comparison Party” as a regular event at the Japanese restaurant “Hanagiku” in April 2024. It will be held from 12:00 on the 21st (Sunday).
The “Nara Sake Drink Comparison Party” is a popular event held by the Japanese restaurant “Hanagiku” where you can enjoy the marriage of sake from three breweries in Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of sake, and Japanese food. On the day of the event, you can enjoy your meal with talks from representatives of each brewery and our staff who are SAKE DIPLOMA certified.
The leading Nara sakes are Umenoyado Junmai Ginjo by Umenoyado Sake Brewery, which has a gentle aroma and refreshing, sharp, and light taste, and Kawai Sake Brewery’s Shusse Otoko, which has an excellent balance of umami and acidity. We offer three brands: “Hyakurakumon” by Katsuragi Sake Brewery, which is made with underground water from Mt. Kongo and has a delicious and sharp taste.
The food will be a special event-only menu created by the chef of the Japanese restaurant “Hanagiku” to go well with the sake, served on a plate with the Nara Hotel’s lantern stamp. Using ingredients such as bamboo shoots and asari, we offer seasonal dishes. Among them, the “scallop and cabbage cherry blossom-flavored kneaded egg” is a dish that lets you feel the arrival of spring, with a soft scent of cherry blossoms remaining in the aftertaste.
Please take this opportunity to enjoy the precious meal time where you can actually meet the brewer and enjoy the marriage of sake and food.

About Nara Hotel
The Nara Hotel, built on a small hill next to Nara Park, has welcomed many distinguished guests since its founding in 1909. The main building, made of cypress in the Momoyama Palace style, was designed by Kingo Tatsuno. The furniture throughout the building is reminiscent of the Meiji era, and the atmosphere is like staying in an art museum. Spend an unforgettable day at Kansai’s most classic hotel, which continues to maintain its stately and splendid appearance even after more than 100 years.
