The Datai Langkawi hosted a fine Sake and Wine dinner for a select group of guests and several hotel general managers here on the island also known as the Jewel of Kedah.
The fine gathering was organised by S. H Maju Sdn Bhd in collaboration with Kuheiji sake and wine.
Furthermore, the fine dining session was held around the resort’s swimming pool area under the bright moonlight accompanied by melodious live music presented by Tristiano Soliano and Diane.

In the words of Kuno, “Japanese sake is not only for Japanese food but also Western food too”.

Among them were the Domaine Kuheiji Crement, Domaine Kuheiji Blanc, Kuno Kuheiji Honten, Kamoshibito Kuheiji Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki Eau Du Desir and Kamoshibito Kuheiji Junmai Daiginjo Omachi Sauvage.
