Ishizuka welcomes 14th generation 'sake samurai' Marie Chiba for an exclusive, one-night-only culinary experience.

Outside of Ishizuka's regular winter menu offering, guests will have the unique opportunity to witness a culinary journey of traditional craftsmanship and kaiseki artistry. Each course is designed to evoke memory, emotion, and discovery – an atmospheric journey that unfolds over an eight-course menu from Chef Yoshino paired with a curated selection of sake from guest sommelier, Marie Chiba.

Chiba has gained international acclaim as one of Japan’s most influential sake sommeliers. As the visionary behind Tokyo sake bar, Eureka!, she is celebrated for her science-driven, deeply personalised approach to sake selection. Appointed as a 'sake samurai' in 2019, Chiba continues to be strongly recognised for her contributions to promoting sake and Japanese food culture globally.
