Premium Sake is conquering the hearts of top chefs more and more, as it often manages to combine taste and aroma components better than wine. Especially, the combination with chocolate results in taste explosions. Shireen von Schulthess (Nala the Chocolate Queen) has therefore been experimenting for quite some time with Premium Sake, supported by Master Sake Sommelier Charly Iten. In the workshop, the two experts will show you how to pair chocolate and sake to create the most impressive pairings. In addition, you will learn a lot about their production.
Experience a delicious 5-course menu by Franco Körperich that takes you far away. Along with the food comes an exclusive range of Premium Sakes selected by Master Sake Sommelier Charly Iten.
Price per person: CHF 250.- including Sake, water & coffee.
Since the number of seats is limited we ask you to make a reservation.

Get in the mood with the film UMAMI at Kino Seehof Zug and then go to the Restaurant Unico where you join an Umami experience with Dr. Charly Iten. Iten, Switzerland’s first Master Sake Sommelier and Japan expert, will make you familiar with the fascinating world of Premium Sakes. During the workshop you will learn that Premium Sake is not only highly versatile, but can also be used beyond clichés with any kind of international cuisine. Immerse yourself in the world of tastes and aromas of this beverage that is still treated as a quite exotic one. Especially Umami, the fifth taste sensation, represents an exciting field of experimentation for food parings with Premium Sakes.
The talented chef Noémie and her team from Restaurant Unico are definitely no longer an insider tip in Zug. The young Swiss with Sicilian roots has more than 16 years of gastronomic experience and impresses with her creative cuisine. Her motto: chic, but down to earth, gourmet, but still soul food!
Costs per person CHF 120.- incl. cinema ticket, 4-course appetizers, Sake & water

There’s a reason why Premium Sake is conquering the hearts of leading chefs. Instead of wine Sake pairs often much better with different flavours.
Especially in combination with chocolate there occur real explosions of flavour.
Shireen von Schulthess (Nala the Chocolate Queen) has been experimenting for some time now with Premium Sake, supported by Master Sake Sommelier Dr. Charly Iten.
Now the two of them show based on impressive pairings how chocolates and Premium Sake can be paired. Additionally, you will also get some knowhow about the making of chocolate and Sake.
Workshop Fee: CHF 89.- Optional: Enjoy after the workshop a nice 3-course dinner for CHF 50.- (Japanese tapas / Sushi course / Japanese dessert). Please send your dinner reservation directly to Charly Iten Art Affairs GmbH.
