For one special evening, Nisei will be joined by renowned winemaker Ted Lemon of Littorai, a winery celebrated for its commitment to producing high-quality, site-specific Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Sonoma and Mendocino. The dinner will offer an in-depth exploration of the unique terroir of the California coastline through a comparative tasting of current release and vintage wines from Littorai’s premier vineyard sites. Chef David Yoshimura and the team at Nisei will create a seven-course menu featuring Japanese dishes that prominently showcase Californian produce, highlighting the deep connection between Nisei’s culinary concept and the exceptional wines of Littorai, enhancing the local essence that unites both.
