According to the related industry on the 11th, the two chefs showcased a collaboration dinner course at Myeongboden in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, on the 3rd and 4th. The dinner course presented that day is evaluated to have high completion with the signature styles of both chefs harmonizing beautifully.

'Tentaka Junmai Daiginjo Funashibori Genshu' was described as having a brilliant aroma and a clear, deep flavor with a long aftertaste by Myeongboden's sommelier Chung Woo-young, who noted it blended seamlessly with the dishes and received feedback from customers unfamiliar with sake, including 'a memorable pairing' and 'the new charm of sake.'

TIG Trading Co., which supplied the sake, stated, 'It delivered a high-quality gourmet experience by merging the sophisticated craftsmanship of Korea and Japan,' adding that it plans to continue unveiling various cultural and culinary collaborations centered around premium sake.
