Somm ACE teams up with Kochi Syuzo (高知酒造) for a one-of-a-kind sensory experiment with a three-stage fusion journey exploring how sake, food, and wine can elevate each other on the same table.
🍶 5 sakes & 5 wines paired with canapés
—
🍶 First, Sake. Let the ultra-soft water purity of Kochi Syuzo's craft coat the palate with gentle umami.
🧀 Then, Food. A bite of canapé meets the amino acids from sake, amplifying umami exponentially and emulsifying fats.
🍷 Finally, Wine. The finishing act unlocks hidden aromas and flavour layers, extending a long, luxurious finish.

The result: sakes of exceptional purity, delicate texture, and clean umami depth, ranging from elegant Junmai Daiginjo expressions to a distinctive yuzu liqueur made with local misho yuzu.

A jeweler's eye for detail, wild yeasts, small batches, and wines "loved by some rather than liked by all."
