Sake Pairing Dinner at Casita

On the hunt for a fancy dinner option for one of those warm April nights? Aoyama's Casita just might be your best bet: the restaurant is now offering a posh but traditional Italian evening spread accompanied by sake. Executive chef Kazunori Akita's five-course 'Spring Fair' dinner features seasonal delicacies from sea bream to Brussels sprouts and white asparagus, each plate complemented by a different variety of nihonshu. The pairings are the work of resident sommelier Soichi Ishikawa, who's picked out sake from all over the country to enrich the flavours of the dishes. Terrace seats are available when the weather's favourable, but make sure to check with the staff for details. Advance reservations are recommended – call 03 5485 7353 to make a booking.
