Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei


The liver is accompanied by the sweetness for a very long time, the fat is well supported. The green powder with its slight bitterness brings a floral note to the dish that enhances the finesse of the sake. The sweet and sour nut with bitter tones, allows the sake to reach its full potential. The fruity flavours are accentuated by the Japanese quince, creating an absolute harmony. The brioche develops yeast tones that blend with the sake's umami in a marriage. The orange flavours bleach the dish until the end and the texture of the brioche extends the long finish of the sake even longer.

Katsuyama Lei
