Sake-Pairing Pizza Bianca & Katsuyama Lei

Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei

The sake from the house of Katsuyama sets the scene perfectly for this dish. At first, the creamy ricotta combines in full harmony with the full-bodiedness of the sake. Its residual sweetness is underlined by the caramelised pears and playfully tamed by the slight bitter note of the orange. The herbal pickled herbs bring the umami slightly to the fore, while the subtle walnut component is the perfect accompaniment. The sake picks up the noble aromas of the duck breast and offers culinary variety with its fruit and complexity. In the finale, a nuance of pungent spice from the wasabi cress can be detected, which, together with the fine acidity of the sake, brings a great freshness and encourages the next sip. A strong pair that complements each other perfectly.
