Sake-Pairing Pigeon grilled on the carcass &
Pigeon grilled on the carcass - black salsify - miso
Das passende Pairing
The Dove and Hatsumago Kimoto tradition form a close alliance. Both the pigeon and the sake show a lot of umami, a lot of fleshy, spicy and intense aromas. The fine sweetness of the sake harmonises wonderfully with the creamy, light miso foam, the deep-fried salsify covered in poppy seed butter emphasizes the earthy notes of the sake and pushes the sweetness back to a balanced level. The club interrupts the creamy feel with the crunch of the black salsify chips, while the wonderful, umami-borne harmony with the sake remains. Back on the main plate, the meaty pigeon sets the tone. The sake is pleasantly cool and a present but not intrusive companion. The creamy praline from Ziegenvacherin, together with the sea buckthorn, refreshes the palate, while the sake catches this with its natural lactic acid. The long finish of the sake also carries pigeon and miso foam for a long time, the impression of the dish is intensified.
