Sake-Pairing Romanesco & Katsuyama Lei

Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei

The tin cup largely neutralizes the acidity of the KatsuyamaLei. Which means that the already acidic cranberry jam has a clearer taste and the Szechuan pepper comes to the fore. The Romanesco with its lush taste is balanced by the sweetness of the sake. The umami of Romanesco, obtained during the cooking process, is strongly reminiscent of the umami of sake and is equal to it in the mouth. The plight of the sweet honeydew melon is a suitable counterweight to the peaty, earthy Jerusalem artichoke. The warm aromas of liquorice and salty macadamia not only give texture, but also support the honeydew melon with the necessary salt content. All components correspond to the sake even when standing alone. The feeling of drinking the sake with the dish remains interesting until the last fork.

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.
