ESSA’s fan favourite fried chicken and free wine night is back, but this time with an Eastern twist.

Curators of exclusive Japanese luxury beverages, Cellar Mates, are bringing their specially sourced boutique sakes to James St for a one-off regional tour of Japan by way of rice wine.

The chicken will be hot, golden, and crunchy, and whether it's chilled, lightly sparkling, textural, or gently warmed, you can be sure to discover a sake you haven’t met before.

Drop in, grab a glass with one hand and some chicken with the other, and let the afternoon unfold.
