Das passende Pairing Urakasumi No.12


The idea was to combine the fruity taste of the ginjo sake with lactic and herbal, fresh notes. I deliberately used only a small amount of sweetener in order to better transport the individual flavors and consciously relied on butter and not sweetness as a flavor carrier, since the sake itself brings enough sweetness and fruit. It was also important to me to work with different textures and possible combinations (sud a-part) for the mouthfeel.
