Two types of wine are available from Osa Winery, a small winery in Otaru. In addition, to go with these wines, we will be serving sushi from Sushidokoro Maeda, a restaurant run by an Otaru native. This original set combines seasonal nigiri sushi made with tuna and shellfish with four types of appetizers made with prosciutto and octopus. You can enjoy a marriage of flavors that is unique to Otaru and can only be experienced in this event. 〈Two types of wine from Osa Winery〉 ■tabi2024 This dry white wine is made from Tabiji, a grape variety that originated in Otaru, and is characterized by its aroma reminiscent of citrus and ginger, its rich and rounded acidity, and its light astringency that can be felt even in its freshness. It is a perfect match for seasonal nigiri sushi, as it is made with a blend that brings out the flavor of Otaru sushi. ■MATENI ROSE SPARKLING 2019 MATENI ROSE SPARKLING 2019 is a rose sparkling wine made from 100% Zweigelt grapes from our own vineyards, perfect for special occasions. The name “MATENI” comes from the Otaru dialect “mateni” (= made with care and sincerity), and it means that each piece is carefully made. We recommend pairing it with roasted meat or prosciutto. About Otaru Canal Boat LLC Otaru Canal is a representative tourist spot in Otaru, a port town that flourished as the gateway to Hokkaido. We started cruising on the Otaru Canal in 2012. A captain with a unique personality will guide you and tell you about the charm of Otaru, a city of history and romance. About “Osa Winery” This is a small winery run by a married couple in Otaru City, Hokkaido. Their concept is “wine of happiness.” We hope that everyone who picks up and drinks wine will feel happy. We value the rich flavor and aroma that is characteristic of Hokkaido, and aim to create wine that will make meals more enjoyable. About Sushidokoro Maeda This sushi restaurant is run by an owner from Otaru. In addition to the standard toppings, they also offer fresh, time-consuming ways to eat sushi. For example, the first piece is standard, while the second piece is made spicy by sprinkling shichimi and black pepper on it. This is a popular restaurant among locals who are accustomed to eating fresh seafood, who say that “it’s fun to have seconds.” Overview of “Otaru Canal Wine Cruise” Period: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays only from Saturday, September 6, 2025 to Sunday, November 16, 2025 Price: 6,000 yen per person (tax included) Included: Otaru Canal cruise, two types of wine, and a snack set Time: September 16:40-17:40 / October and November 15:40-16:40 * 20 minutes for travel from OMO5 Otaru to Otaru Canal and preparation for boarding, 40 minutes operation time Capacity: 10 people Reservations: Official website (https://hoshinoresorts.com/ja/hotels/omo5otaru/) until 15:00 the day before Target: Hotel guests only Notes: Menu may change depending on availability.
