What should you drink with sushi?
Nigiri with salmon and Riesling
Salmon, with its fatty texture and rich flavor, pairs wonderfully with a dry Riesling. This white wine, often with notes of citrus and flowers, brings a freshness that balances the fatness of the fish. Choose an Alsace or German Riesling for a perfect match.
Tuna and Chardonnay sashimi
Pure, flavorful tuna sashimi finds an ideal companion in an unoaked Chardonnay. The minerality and freshness of chardonnay underscore the delicacy of the tuna without overpowering its subtle flavors. A Burgundy chardonnay would be an excellent choice.
What should you drink with maki?
California Roll and Provence rosé
The California Roll, with its blend of avocado, crab and cucumber, is a sushi with soft, creamy flavors. A light, fruity rosé from Provence, with notes of strawberries and flowers, adds a touch of freshness that complements it perfectly.
What should you drink with spicy sushi?
Spicy Tuna Roll and Pinot Noir
Spicy Tuna Roll, with its hint of spiciness, calls for a light, fruity red wine like Pinot Noir. The cherry and raspberry aromas of this red wine balance the spices and enhance the spicy tuna. Choose a Pinot Noir from Burgundy or California for perfect harmony.
What should you drink with tempura?
Shrimp tempura and brut Champagne
Crisp, light tempura shrimp are a perfect match for brut champagne. The fine bubbles and freshness of the champagne cut through the fried shrimp, offering a refreshing, sparkling mouthfeel. A Crémant de Loire may also do the trick if you're looking for an alternative to champagne.
