Discover epicurean excellence with Japan’s finest sake at Akira Back.
Akira Back Bangkok, the innovative Asian dining destination on the 37th floor of Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, is inviting guests to experience a refined evening of cultural and culinary exploration, with an exclusive five-course set dinner paired with the finest sake from Masumi Brewery, which has been operating since 1662. The event will include a meeting to introduce and explain the different types of sake with Mr. Katsuhiko Miyasaka, the heir to Masumi Brewery.
Diners will then be treated to Akira Back’s signature Tuna Pizza, an indulgent creation that features fresh black truffle, white truffle oil, umami aioli and micro shiso, accompanied with a glass of MASUMI JUNMAI DAIGINJO SANKA, which is inspired by the sanka mountain flower and renowned for its fresh fragrance and flavor.
This is followed by a succulent Hokkaido Scallop in a Shell with kimchi butter, crispy onion and parmesan cheese, complemented by a glass of MASUMI JUNMAI GINJO SHIRO WHITE, a light rice wine with gentle sweetness and lingering umami. Guests are then presented with Pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass with yuzu miso and Japanese shishito, perfectly paired with MASUMI JUNMAI GINJO KURO BLACK, which strikes a balance of savory depth and dry clarity.
The mouth-watering main course, Japanese Wagyu A5, is served with root vegetables, potato purée and wasabi butter sauce, accompanied with MASUMI YAMAHAI JUNMAI GINJO AKA RED, which is bright on the surface yet deep and complex with subtle aromas. This gastronomic odyssey then concludes with an AB Cigar – an indulgent chocolate and cinnamon dessert, paired with MASUMI JUNMAI KAYA BROWN, which exudes aromas of brown rice and cream for a sweet and savory sensation.
Based in the cool, scenic mountains of Nagano, Masumi has been meticulously crafting premium sake for over 360 years. With its mission of “Connecting people, nature, time,” it believes in producing high-quality sake that brings people and their food together. It has won many prestigious awards, including more than 25 gold medals from the Japan Sake Association, and gold and platinum honors from the international Sake Selection. This makes it the perfect partner for Akira Back, which consistently raises the bar for epicurean excellence and innovation.
