It feels like only yesterday that Emmy Lou’s opened its doors in Dilworth. Now, the new wine bar is teaming up with Uchibā — the Izakaya-inspired Japanese cocktail bar coming soon to Plaza Midwood — for a dine-and-sip pop-up experience.
Editor Maria, here. I’m sampling Uchi, Uchibā’s sister concept, later this week — a full review coming soon. This pop-up is your first chance to sample Uchibā’s dishes and sake, plus fan-favorites from the wine bar. Think: wagyu tartare, toasted rice cakes, nigiri, hamachi, and desserts.
“This pop-up is all about exploring and celebrating the harmony of wine and food with unexpected and surprising combinations of ingredients,” said Chef Shaun King, chef de cuisine at Uchibā Charlotte.
Mark your calendar for Thursday, Feb. 12, from 5 to 10 p.m. The pop-up at Emmy Lou’s is first-come, first-served.
