Mazara Prawn - Mazara prawn, beetroot, raspberry vinegar, red pepper

Das passende Pairing Rihaku Caro Pink


Despite its very intense individual aromas, the dish as a whole is perfectly balanced and therefore shows itself to be extremely elegant, thus forming a beautiful connection with the elegant and rather restrained sake without overpowering it aromatically, the sake is deliberately served a little warmer (14 degrees) in a not too big burgundy glass, which gives it as much texture and aroma as possible without it feeling fat or alcoholic, the sourness on the plate (vinegar) makes the sake a little fuller and draws out the earthy sweetness a little, this sweetness combines with the beetroot and the natural sweetness of the prawn, the spiciness of the red pepper and the saltiness and natural umami of the fish sauce form a basis for the subtle bitterness and elegant umami of the sake.
