From Grill to Glass: Chef Makoto x IWA Sake

Chef Makoto Okuwa presides over this intimate, one-night-only dinner at Beloved BBQ celebrating the artistry of Japanese cuisine, exceptional beef and luxury sake. The multi-course experience begins with Wagyu tartare and caviar, followed by Hokkaido scallop and a signature banchan palette before moving into a progressive tasting of Japanese A5 Wagyu, American Wagyu and USDA Prime. Next comes a course of Korean clear noodles with sudachi broth, followed by a seasonal dessert. Throughout the evening, you will enjoy luxury pairings from IWA Sake, with IWA expert Brenton Blanchard sharing the story behind this label and its distinctive approach to sake blending that reflects founder Richard Geoffroy’s time as Chef de Cave for Dom Pérignon. $300 per ticket plus tax, including service charge and admission to Kanpai! to Sake Day in DC the following day (info below).
