Sake-Pairing Foie Gras Terrine & Katsuyama Lei
Foie gras terrine, banana, bitter cocoa Chef: Stefan Meier Restaurant: Meiers ZweiSinn

Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei
Traditional idea of sweet (brew?) and foie gras. The clear sweetness in the sake withstands the lush, creamy texture of the terrine. The sake loosens up the creamy terrine, the aromatics become more precise and are transported throughout the mouth. Both players benefit from the acidity and freshness of the other (yuzu in the foie gras / the youthfulness and general quality of sake), which makes the two components fresher and livelier. Contrast through the bitter cocoa. The banana is also reflected in the sake.

勝山 Katsuyama Lei
This sake was composed as a pairing to French cuisine. Its delicate Umami and fine sweetness harmonize exceptionally well with raw ham, cheese and desserts.
