Sake-Pairing Thai Curry with Chicken & Katsuyama Lei

Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei

The sweetness in the curry is wonderfully complemented by the sweet-fruity note of the sake. The combination of red curry paste, lemongrass, lime leaves and coconut milk gives the curry a fresh, fruity but also creamy note, which integrates the spiciness well. Combined with the low alcohol content and the residual sweetness in the sake, this also softens the distinct spiciness in the curry. The creamy components such as coconut milk and banana pick up wonderfully on the subtle almond note in the sake. The ostensible taste of honeydew melon is wonderfully complemented by the sweet elements, mango, apple, banana, in the curry. The umami in the sake further enhances the fruity notes in the curry and blends everything into a taste experience that lingers in the memory.
