Wine and Dine with Aleksander Wine
The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo will be hosting a special dinner in collaboration with Aleksander Wine, the California–based winery founded by former NBA Champion Sasha Vujacic and his brother Al Bjekovic. This exclusive event, which will be held for one night only at the hotel’s contemporary Italian restaurant Melodia, will introduce the family’s winemaking philosophy and present two of their signature wines — the 2016 Aleksander Reserve and 2019 Aleksander — both acclaimed for their depth, structure, and craftsmanship. Guests will be able to engage directly with the winemakers and enjoy a luxurious evening with fine wine and gourmet dining.
The hotel’s acclaimed culinary team will serve a specially crafted course menu that perfectly complements with and elevates the character of the featured wine, and unites the talents of three of The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo’s celebrated dining outlets: Melodia (Italian cuisine), China Shadow (Chinese cuisine), and Kazane (Japanese teppanyaki).
The menu will consist of:
- Canapés:
- Brioche, anchovy and smoked butter
- Teppanyaki Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) marinated in miso, served in a chestnut crepe
- Dumpling from China Shadow
- Dinner courses:
- Tuna sashimi, sprout salad and wasabi caviar
- Pumpkin soup with coconut, and porcini mushroom ravioli
- Steamed Okinawa Sujiara (leopard coral grouper), with leeks and ginger
- Wagyu beef tenderloin and sirloin served with garlic rice with Japanese mushrooms
- Chocolate ganache with olive oil, sea salt, and bread
Seats for this event are limited, and reservations can be booked online.
