Sake-Pairing Grilled Barbarie Duck Breast & Katsuyama Lei
Grilled Barbarie duck breast, tomato jus, red Thai curry, sweet potato Restaurants: OKRA IZAKAYA
Recommended Sake-Pairing Katsuyama Lei
The full-fruity - sweet taste harmonises splendidly with the slight spiciness, the lemongrass & the hint of acidity of the kaffir lime leaf. The sweet potato ceme blends harmoniously with the mild texture of the Katsuyama Lei. The umami flavour of the sake is powerfully released with the juicy duck breast. The tomato jus further increases the umami and plays with the sweet-acid balance of the Junmai ginjo. The long finish of the Junmai Daiginjo matches the intensity of the dish perfectly. Equal partners create an experience of the extra class.
勝山 Katsuyama Lei
This sake was composed as a pairing to French cuisine. Its delicate Umami and fine sweetness harmonize exceptionally well with raw ham, cheese and desserts.
