Two days of champagne are coming, right above Namba. Swissôtel Nankai Osaka will hold two Champagne Pommery events on Thursday, November 19 and Friday, November 20, 2026: a pairing seminar on the 6th floor, then a one-night dinner party on the top floor. Ken Moroi, president of Vranken Pommery Japan, joins both as guest.
Thursday, November 19: learn Pommery-and-food pairings at “Shun” on the 6th floor
Day one takes place at Whisky & Wine “Shun” on the 6th floor. The hotel’s monthly wine seminar becomes a special Pommery edition in November. Mr. Moroi explains the champagne as guests taste it with food, and there are two sessions: lunch and dinner.

At dinner, guests taste five champagnes: Pommery Brut Royal, Brut Rosé, Apanage Brut 1874, Cuvée Louise 2008 and Les Clos Pompadour Blanc de Blancs 2017. The dishes include pumpkin mousse with marinated scallop, several kushiage (deep-fried skewers) such as tiger prawn and sea bream with grapes, foie gras and autumn eggplant kushiage, and grilled tiger prawn risotto. Champagne with kushiage is a very Osaka pairing. Dessert is a tonka bean panna cotta with Brut Rosé jelly.
Friday, November 20: a one-night free-flow party at “Table 36” on the top floor
Day two is the “Pommery Champagne Dinner Party” at Table 36, on the top floor, 147 m above the ground. Pommery Brut Royal flows freely, along with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

The food is buffet style: cold appetizers, hot canapés and a cheese platter, plus live stations grilling Wagyu beef, pork belly with French herbs and seasonal Japanese vegetables. There is also a som tam salad and a sashimi station. Desserts using Pommery include pear compote, cheesecake and macarons. Live music accompanies the evening.
The advance-sale price applies only until Saturday, October 31, so book early if you plan to go.
