Im mehrfach prämierten Restaurant Hanse Stube kreiert das engagierte Team um Küchenchef Joschua Tepner innovative französische Küche mit rheinländischen Einflüssen. Im taku, ausgezeichnet mit einem Michelin-Stern, begeistert Küchenchef Mirko Gaul mit ostasiatischer Sterneküche.

One menu. Two perspectives. One unforgettable evening at taku.🍷

Last week, taku hosted a very special Sommelier Battle: newly certified Sommelier and Sous Chef Nicolai Kais challenged taku Restaurant Manager and Sommelier Daniel Malskorn in a five course pairing duel alongside an exceptional menu by Mirko Gaul. 🍽️

Faced with challenging ingredients such as matcha, sudachi, buttermilk and caviar, both competitors presented highly individual and often surprisingly contrasting wine pairings. The result: lively discussions, unexpected discoveries and an incredibly close race. In the end, Daniel Malskorn claimed the victory by a narrow margin. Congratulations! 👏

After such an exciting evening, we cannot help but wonder: is it time for a rematch? Discover all upcoming taku events on our website! ✨
