Sake-Pairing Wild Garlic, Duck &
Wild garlic, duck, Vacherin cheese, miso, tomato
Das passende Pairing
The plate features roast duck breast, wild garlic spinach and miso paste, crispy Vacherin leaves, raw duck ham, pickled wild garlic, tomato ganache, pickle broth pearls, dried apricot cream and a Vacherin mousse. A beautiful interplay of different textures, meat, fruit and vegetable notes. In the glass, the Hatsumago. On the nose, coffee cream, steamed rice. It caresses the palate, light sweetness plays with the salt from the raw ham, the miso paste and the Vacherin. The lactic component harmonises with the Vacherin and the animal roast flavours of the roast duck. The sake builds a bridge to the fine wild garlic aroma, which has been greatly reduced by steaming and pickling the leaves. The intense flavours of the wild garlic powder are offset by the umami on the plate and in the glass. Umami also shines through the sweetness of the tomato ganache as well as the gentle fruitiness of the dried apricot foam, which gently offsets the salt.
