Das passende Pairing
The aromatic sake has a depth of flavour that not only matches the fatty eel and the strong sauce, but also expresses them in a special way. The sweetness and nutty flavour of the sake is in perfect balance with the savoury eel. I recommend enjoying the sake at around 10°C with the warm food. Then it develops a refreshing acidity that balances out the rich dish and rounds off the taste experience. The strong cheese and eggs provide a pleasant creamy feeling when enjoying sake, and the gentle pungency of the horseradish adds a spicy note. A sake cup is suitable as a container, which allows less aromas compared to a wine glass, but brings out the sweetness of the rice and the fruity note better.
