Langoustine - Langoustine with rhubarb syrup, jasmine and Oscietra caviar

Das passende Pairing


The Caro Pink Sake from Rihaku is an equal companion to the langoustine with rhubarb syrup, jasmine and Oscietra caviar. The dry sake with its balanced minerality marries with the saltiness of the langoustine. The rice wine can prove itself with enough body and structure and at the same time is not too overloaded. The subtle greenish-tart notes of cassis stems in the sake are picked up by the rhubarb syrup and rhubarb brunoise, making the dish seem even more alive. Above all, the floral aspect of the sake, with its rose petal aroma, flatters both the rhubarb syrup and the perfuming from the jasmine tea powder. The sake is also present in combination with Oscietra caviar. The pronounced saltiness of the sturgeon roe together with subtle umami notes cannot unbalance the sake. It helps to create an exciting taste experience in combination with sake and dish. Enjoy and kanpai!
