Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei


With its opulent fruit and strong, sweet body, Katsuyama Lei goes perfectly with strawberry and white chocolate desserts. As a lighter alternative for a wine that is too sweet, there is a pleasant end to the menu. The fruity opulence of the sake is moderated and softened by the creaminess of the white chocolates, creating a harmonious overall impression. The strawberry in its various textures with its fine fruit acid manages to break this interplay in a pleasant way and refreshes the palate and tongue for the next sip and bite. The caramelized crunch of amaranth and nuts provides an additional bite, an additional haptic impression and briefly pushes the fine caramel notes of the sake to the fore.

Katsuyama Lei
