Sake-Pairing Tuna Wasabi & Katsuyama Lei

Das passende Pairing Katsuyama Lei

The residual sugar of Katsuyama Lei is necessary to bring the spiciness of the chutney and wasabi into a harmonious position on the palate. In addition, the slight sweetness helps to balance the salty touch of the tuna, which it takes on from the pickling. The delicate texture of the tuna underlines the acidity and enhances the endless mineral finish. The spicy, nutty flesh of the herb seedlings is rich in amino acids. Combined with the strong umami of the Miyagi sake, this provides balance. The moderate alcohol content of 12% does not overload the dish and results in a light-footed pairing that evokes a feeling of summer joie de vivre. If the spiciness in the dish were reduced a little, it would be a perfect pairing with Dassai 45.
