Chocolate and Cheese Pairing Corner
The pairing corner for Belgian beer, chocolate, and cheese returns from last year.
For the chocolate, the event again teams up with DelReY (デルレイ), a long-established Belgian luxury chocolate brand. Three kinds of diamond chocolates in caramel, Peru Tonka, and lychee flavors are paired with Belgian beer.
The cheese pairing offers five kinds of cheese that go well with Belgian beer, including blue cheese and cheddar cheese. Visitors can try cheeses with their favorite beer and find their own ideal pairing.

"The Table" Special Course by the Head Chef of the Embassy of Belgium in Japan
A special dinner course by the head chef of the Embassy of Belgium in Japan was held for the first time last year and was well received. This year it returns as The Table, with a lunch course added. Authentic Belgian cuisine, also served on diplomatic occasions, is paired with selected Belgian beers.
"The Table" is fully reservation-only, limited to 28 guests per session. Seats are limited, so early booking is recommended.
