Hokkaido Wine Co., Ltd. will hold “Winery Lunch with Local Gourmet” on Sunday, September 21 and Sunday, October 19, 2025, at the Otaru Wine Gallery at its winery.
A special lunch box prepared by the head chef of Otaru Ryotei Kuramure will be paired with Hokkaido wines, including award-winning labels, during Otaru's autumn-foliage season.
Here are the details.
About “Winery Lunch with Local Gourmet”
The event is a special collaboration between Otaru Ryotei Kuramure, based in the Asarigawa Onsen area, and Hokkaido Wine Co., Ltd., offering guests a shared celebration of Japanese wine.
As a new way to enjoy the nearby Asarigawa area, the organizers hope to communicate the appeal of Japanese wine through a special lunch box prepared only for these dates and pairings with Hokkaido Wine.
What to Expect
Kuramure's kaiseki cuisine, normally served only to overnight guests, will be reimagined as a special lunch box available on these two dates.
The menu will feature seasonal Otaru ingredients selected by the chef, including the branded Shukutsu scallop “Otate,” saury, and hakkaku, a fish landed mainly in Hokkaido.
For the toast, guests will be served “Traditional Method Hokkaido Type C,” which won Gold at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025 and tied the highest score ever achieved by a Japanese sparkling wine in the competition.
The normally closed vintage cabinet will also be specially opened for the event.
It will be a two-day-only experience of enjoying Kuramure cuisine in a renovated wine-storage space.
Consider joining if you're interested.
