Sillage, a modern bistronomy restaurant in Shirokane-Takanawa, will host a special one-night-only makers dinner on March 12th, 2026. The event will feature two pioneering wineries from Texas: William Chris Vineyards and Calais Winery, with both producers themselves attending.
Texas has emerged as one of America's most exciting wine regions in recent years. This exclusive dinner brings together top-tier winemakers who excel at showcasing the unique terroir of their land, offering guests an opportunity to explore the world of Texas wine through the producers' own stories, paired with Sillage's innovative cuisine.
About Sillage: The Art of Lingering Impressions
The restaurant's name, Sillage, is a French word meaning "the lingering scent" or "the trace left behind after someone passes." The concept embodies how, even after a dish disappears, its aroma, flavor, and the memory of that evening can resurface unexpectedly in moments to come. Sillage presents a contemporary bistronomy experience that combines French culinary techniques with Japanese fermentation culture and seasonal sensibilities.
Sillage Chef: Kazuki Munesada
Born and raised in Okayama, Chef Munesada began his career at The Westin Hotel Awaji after graduating from culinary school. He honed his classical French skills at Kobe Kitano Hotel before moving to Nîmes in southern France, where he trained under MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) Chef Jérôme Nutile at his Michelin one-star restaurant, mastering cutting-edge techniques that emphasize ingredients while creating modern, refined dishes. Upon returning to Japan, he gained gastronomy experience at L'ARGENT in Tokyo (Michelin one-star). He approaches cooking with dedication, pouring his heart into every aspect from ingredient selection to final plating.
