Sake-Pairing Seared Smoked Eel & Urakasumi No.12
Seared Smoked Eel, Sautéed Black Salsify, Nashi Pear & Rhubarb Salad, Brown Butter-Miso Foam (Chef / Restaurant: Stefanie La)
Recommended Sake-Pairing Urakasumi No.12
This Junmai Ginjo enjoyed out of a burgundy glass allows the sake to express its full bodied flavor profile. The acidity of the salad cuts right through the luscious texture of the eel and is supported by a drinking temperature of 10°C. This gives the dish a lighter feel and offers rooms for the sweetness and fruitiness of the salad to come through. The smokiness of the eel establishes a great condition for the more herbal characteristics to stand out. Still it can catch up with the silky texture, the umami taste of the foam and the dense structure of the fish without creating too much richness. The Urakasumi ‘12’ provides a pleasant mouthfeel, offering a versatile display of aromatic peaks which merge beautifully with the lactic aromas of the dish.
浦霞 Urakasumi No.12
Fresh and elegant Junmai Ginjo sake with a hint of muscat aroma. Brewed with the sake yeast "No.12", which was discovered in Urakasumi's sake mash in 1960's.
