Pairing oysters and swordfish!

Uncategorized 2021/11/22

"Pairing" is the process of combining food and alcohol to create a synergistic effect of deliciousness.
When it comes to alcoholic beverages to be enjoyed with meals, such as wine, it has long been considered to pair them with the ingredients and sauces used in the dish, such as "red wine goes with beef" and "white wine goes with chicken or fish." In recent years, the enjoyment of sake in combination with food has also become more widespread.

Oysters and swordfish are delicious foods for the coming winter season. Their compatibility with different dishes also varies slightly.Corner star"Mr. Miss,"Otokoyama Main Store" taught us some delicious combinations.

Oyster pairing

Kesennuma oysters are characterized by their plump, large flesh. Fresh oysters have no unpleasant odor or bitter taste, and you can enjoy their delicious, sweet flavor to the fullest.

Raw oysters

Mizutori-ki Special Junmaishu Kura no Hana Directly Drawn Raw Sake
The gentle saltiness of the oysters themselves and the soft aroma of the seashore that lingers in your nose go perfectly with the fresh taste of the new sake.

Miroku Special Junmai Sake, Stored in the Dead of Winter, Zuiyuki no Yukiakari
The mineral taste of the oysters is matched with the refreshing taste of new sake. It also has a moderate amount of umami, so you can enjoy both without being overwhelmed by the strong flavor of the Kesennuma oysters.

fried oysters

Mizutoriki Junmai Ginjo Sake Aizan
The concentrated oyster flavor in the batter of the fried oysters is perfectly matched with the rich, full-bodied flavor of the sake rice "Aizan."

Soutenden Special Junmai Freshly Squeezed Unpasteurized Sake
To enjoy the juiciness of the oysters, we recommend freshly squeezed unpasteurized sake, which is also fresh and juicy. This year's sake is slightly dry, so it goes well with the sweetness of the sauce.

Swordfish pairing

Swordfish at this time of year is fatty and full of flavor. It is a delicious ingredient whether grilled, boiled, or eaten as is, in both Western and Japanese styles.

Mecha stabbing

Mizutoriki Junmai Daiginjo Sake Kura no Hana
The rich, fatty flavor of the white meat pairs perfectly with the clear, refined taste that is unique to Junmai Daiginjo sake.

Soutenden Special Junmai
Sotenden Tokubetsu Junmai goes well with fatty sashimi. It is a slightly sour sake that can be enjoyed together with the sashimi while neutralizing the fat.

Mecha stew

Mizuchoki Special Pure Rice Sake Yamada Nishiki
The rich flavor of swordfish mixed with dashi stock goes well with Yamada Nishiki sake rice, which has a moderate flavor and aroma and envelops the umami of the ingredients.

Kesennuma Otokoyama Special Junmai

Although it has a refreshing, dry taste, typical of a port town sake, it is brewed using rice (rice for eating), so it has a strong umami flavor and goes well with simmered meka.
