How To Pair Sake With Food?

Sake isn't just for sushi! 🍶! 🥂

Here are a few tips to elevate your sake experience, pair by weight and texture:

  • Lighter sakes (like Junmai Ginjo) shine with salads, seafood, and delicate flavours.

  • Full-bodied sakes (like Junmai) complement rich dishes like grilled meats.

✨ Examples: 


  • Cheese/Charcuterie: Fruity or Junmai Daiginjo-style sakes, like Yamagata Masamune Malola complement aged cheeses and cured meats.


  • Spicy food: Milky, creamy Nigori sake like Shizenshu Nigori can balance the heat and umami for a harmonious pairing.
