Food Pairing - Oily Food

Sake rich in tartness can create a fantastic harmony with oily food. The fattiness and richness of oily dishes are very palate-satisfying; however, it can also be overwhelming and exhausting. A sake with high acidity shows a sharp and clean aftertaste that can help scrape the fattiness out of our mouth, leading to an outstanding balance. Sakes that are made through the Yamahai and Kimoto fermentation technique usually demonstrate wilder acidity, pairing well with Chinese braised pork, Chinese cured meat and cheese etc.
