The Hatsumago Kimoto Tradition and the Saltimbocca of veal sweetbreads with chanterelle ragout and Sauce Gribiche complement each other harmoniously in terms of spice and structure. The Japanese rice wine brewed from the Heanuki variety was produced according to the ancient Kimoto traditional method. The sweetbread saltimbocca, dense in texture and tangy in flavor, is buffered in intensity by the refreshing acidity and dry character of the sake. Paired with Sauce Gribiche, the invigorating sake adds lightness to every bite, and can even stand up to the rich herb mayonnaise. The nutty aromas of the Kimoto Tradition and the chanterelles perfumed with Vin Jaune are also harmonious. The balanced umamiton in sake and mushrooms is also emphasized. The entire enjoyment is framed by the creamy ragout sauce. It ensures a pleasant mouthfeel in combination with the saltimbocca and the fine bitterness of the sake in the aftertaste.
