One Thursday night at AORI, the harbour fades into the background and Japan takes over.

Head to AORI on Thursday 15 October for Journey Through Japan, a six-course sake pairing dinner priced at $249 per person. Hosted by resident sake expert Scott, whose background spans both kitchens and bars, the evening moves through Japan’s distinct brewing regions, traditions and techniques. Each sake is matched to a specially designed course, giving the pairings room to do real work. Bookings via aori.com.au.
