Benihana House Wine — Price, Calories & Pairing Guide (2026)
Benihana House Wine — price per glass, calories, selections and what to pair with your hibachi dinner.
What Is House Wine?
Benihana’s wine list leans food-friendly, with house reds and whites chosen to survive the bold flavors of the hibachi grill — no small feat for wine. Expect familiar varietals like chardonnay, pinot grigio, cabernet and merlot, plus Japanese plum wine for something more thematic. Glasses run about $11.00, with bottles available for the table.
White wines and plum wine are the smart picks here: their acidity and fruit stand up to garlic butter and soy far better than heavy reds. If you are set on red, ask for something fruit-forward rather than heavily oaked.
