Satsuki Icewine Omakase with Chef May Ng of Satsuki and Master of Wine, Eugene Mlynczyk

On a fine summer evening in Calgary, Satsuki will open its doors for something truly rare. For one night only, one of the city’s most intimate Japanese dining rooms becomes the stage for a singular performance, a collaboration between Principle Fine Wines and Chef May Ng, in honour of Canada’s most enigmatic wine: Icewine.

Guests will be guided through this delicate journey by none other than Eugene Mlynczyk, one of only 10 Masters of Wine in Canada, who will lead the evening with insight, warmth, and deep reverence for the craft.

Chef May, celebrated for her kaiseki-inspired omakase and precise, poetic flavour expressions, has designed a one-night-only tasting menu. Each course has been thoughtfully created to pair with a selection of Icewine from Principle’s featured portfolio winery, Inniskillin, elevating the pairing from novelty to nuance. From sparkling Icewine to aged vintages, each glass will uncover the unexpected beauty, depth, and gastronomic potential of this Canadian icon. Incorporations of Icewine will be directly in the glass and from a few varietals, infused into the dishes, and as a component to a cocktail - a true representation of Icewine’s uniqueness and versatility.

This is not a traditional pairing. It’s a reimagining. A love letter to terroir, technique, and the thrill of surprise.

The Menu:

  • Angus beef tartare with seaweed wrap

  • Hamachi carpaccio ice wine ponzu

  • Yuzu Hotate oshizushi

  • A5 Wagyu sushi with black garlic paste

  • Sake kasu miso black cod with roasted vegetables

  • A one-night-only Omakase menu crafted by the culinary and Sommelier teams of Satsuki, Principle Fine Wines and Eugene Mlynczyk, Master of Wine
