TASTING PROFILE
FOOD PAIRING
Unagi (grilled eel)
A slight smoky note and the sweetness of the wine is shared with the flavors of Unagi dish- smoky, caramelized flavors, in addition to full rich body/texture of both food and wine, hence making it a good match.
Chinese Food
Sweetness and the rich round body of the wine will work well Chinese food, a dish like Mapo Tofu (sweet and spicy with full of spices like garlic, spring onions, and chili peppers) as the sweetness will balance the palate by reducing and mellowing out heat and spicy, without any clash of flavours.
Dessert
Pair it with Japanese cheesecake, or a light cheesecake that is not too sweet/overpowering to enjoy the delicate sweetness and flavours of the wine.
