Sake-Pairing Scallop with Summer Truffle &
Scallop with summer truffle and San Daniele ham powder Chef: David Bassan
Das passende Pairing
The Yamahai Junmai convinced me of this dish because of its delicate fragrance, the delicate fragrance does not cover the scallops and the truffle of medium intensity. A slight umami feeling was discovered on the palate, from mussels as well as in sake. The "sweet direction" of the mussel core has found a valid partner in the light acidity. After that the little caused juiciness has been paired with the lower alcohol level. I also have a match between the persistence of the sake and the spicy perception and its persistence of the piquillo sauce. Last but not least, the aromaticity of the ham powder has been harmonized with the light minerality of the sake. Also pleasant is the velvety to the abundance of the summer truffle. An elegant sake for an elegant dish.
