Sake-Pairing Oyster Cucumber Fat & Katsuyama Lei

Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei

Personally, I don't always find sake and oyster to be a successful pairing. But in this case the oyster is really a dish in its own right that appeals to all the senses of taste and fills the mouth. The fundamental fine structure of the sake and the taste of the oyster increase and become very present. But the sweetness and the umami of the sake then combine wonderfully with cucumber and fat and weave a mouth-lining aroma that is lush, almost nutty. The melon fruit of the sake floats gently over the nutty and iodine aromas. It is particularly nice that the tension between umami and freshness is maintained and all facets are consciously perceived.

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.
