📅 Date: Tuesday, July 8 

🕕 Time: 6pm – 9pm 🎟 Ticket: $79 per head

📍 Venue: Mr. Tucker, 17 Melrose St, North Melbourne VIC 3051


Meet Kinoene, a more than 300-year-old, 15 gens, family-run brewery from Chiba, Japan 🇯🇵 — coming to North Melbourne for a one-night-only sake pairing dinner!

 

🎉 Their logo says it all:

🐢 A turtle for tradition and longevity;

🐭 A mouse for bold beginnings and innovation.

And yes — they both love drinking sake with Boss Kuma! 

 

🐶 This won’t be your usual sake-and-sushi affair. We’re breaking the rules and teaming up with our friends at Mr. Tucker, who will be serving a 4-course Western-inspired menu specially designed to pair with 7 remarkable sakes — including two seasonal, unpasteurised bottles that have already sold out in Japan, and the first-ever KUMA collaboration sake!

Even more exciting, Mr. Kato of Kinoene is flying in from Chiba to personally guide us through each sake on the night — sharing stories, brewing insights, and tasting notes.

 

Here’s what you’ll be enjoying:

✨ Kinoene Umakara Junmai

🌸 Kinoene Hanayaka Junmai Ginjo

⭐ Kinoene Lodestar Junmai Ginjo (Judge’s Choice – 2025 Australia Sake Awards)

🍎 Kinoene Kanjuku Apple Junmai Ginjo

🍏 Kinoene Kanjuku Apple Junmai Ginjo NAMA (seasonal, limited)

🌅 Kinoene Twilight Junmai Daiginjo NAMA

🐶 Kinoene x Kuma Nama Genshu (bold, unpasteurised, and making its debut pour in Australia)
