Toko Restaurant x Suntory Whisky Dinner
Dine on acclaimed izakaya cuisine, then sip back some of the most exclusive Japanese whiskies in this paired feast.
Overview
If you can pair wine with food, who says you can't swap vino for whisky? Not Toko Restaurant, as they've teamed up with Japanese icon Suntory to present modern izakaya cuisine across a five-course feast and whisky pairing. This isn't the first time Suntory has presented this special event — it was previously held for the brand's 100th anniversary in 2023.
And because it was such a hit, they've decided to bring it back for one night only. Held on Wednesday, June 4, each course presents a myriad of fascinating flavour combos. Kicking off the night with canapes, a Baerii vintage caviar salmon cone is served with wasabi miso alongside a Toki highball. Then it's time for kingfish sashimi, signature nigiri and sashimi, paired with a Yamazaki 12-year-old single malt.
Moving through the courses, both food and drink get even more luxe, with seafood chawanmushi, shiso scallop mousse and wagyu striploin matched with ultra-exclusive Suntory whiskies, including the herbal notes of the 12-year-old Hakushu and the crème de la crème, the 18-year-old Yamazaki Mizunara 100th Anniversary Edition. A bottle of this usually sets you back about $4,000.
Rounding out this bountiful affair is, of course, dessert. Here, tofu panna cotta with strawberry, missile apple and gold leaf is elegantly coupled with a glass of 21-year-old Hibiki, a wonderfully sweet and caramelised way to conclude the evening.
Book your spot for $495 per person at the website.
