Partner Event: KaiDO – Hotel Kai36 & mizu-san Pop-up
KAI 36 x MIZU-SAN – Kaidō: An Evening Along Ancient Trade Routes
On September 25, 2025, the Hotel Kai 36 opened its doors for a special culinary experience: Kaidō, an evening inspired by the ancient trade routes between the sea and the coast, as interpreted by Mizu-San.
Under the title “Sushi Surprise,” our guests were treated to a taste of the essence of Japan: authentic, pure, and full of respect for the ingredients. From the very first bite, it was clear: every detail here was a testament to true craftsmanship.
Freshly grated wasabi from Nagano Prefecture paired with fragrant Koshihikari rice. Premium O-Toro—the coveted belly of bluefin tuna—and wild Hamachi from Japan blended perfectly with our Nikiri soy sauce, aged in oak barrels. The artfully shaped maki were accompanied by oshinko and homemade gari. It’s the smallest details that made all the difference.
The drinks were just as exciting: a zesty yuzu lemonade with subtle citrus notes and a malty Asahi beer with a caramel-like depth rounded out the evening perfectly.
The atmosphere was lively yet focused. The room was filled with people who appreciated fine dining and Japanese culinary culture in its purest form.
A big thank you goes out to Verena and the team at Hotel Kai 36 for their warm cooperation. We’d also like to thank our wonderful guests, who filled this evening with life and enthusiasm.
What we take away from this experience is that Kaidō is more than just an idea—it’s a journey. And we’re already looking forward to the next stage.
