Sake and Red Thai Curry

Thai curries and wine is not that simple and the reason why people very often tend to choose a beer.

Have you ever thought to accompany a Thai curry with a Premium Sake?

For a spicy, hot red Thai curry with chicken and basmati rice I selected the Enter.Sake Sekiya Gold, a Junmai Daiginjō with a polishing rate of 50%.

This Sake with flavours of tropical fruits pairs very well with the curry. Its fruity notes cut a little bit the curry’s spiciness, while its savouriness gets emphasised by the meal’s  umami.
The result is a culinary delight that makes you have one sip after the other of this wonderful.

Sake and Autumn Salad

An autumnal creation by my customer Chris Kaderli:

For this simple, but captivatingly tasteful salad you just start with a dressing consisting of equal amounts of an extra vergine olive oil and Fukuju Yuzu Sake liqueur and season it according to your personal taste with some sea salt and pepper.
After that prepare a mixed seasonal salad, over which you pour the dressing. Finally you decorate your salad with some olives, grapes, sunflower and pumpkin seeds as well as some feta cheese.

Sake and Deer Entrecôte

Autumn is the season for game meat.
Culinary delights can be awaited that let us look forward to eat them every year.
But sometimes classic dishes need a new, innovative twist. That’s why I created a Sake cranberry cream sauce for a deer entrecôte with spaetzle, red cabbage and caramelised chestnuts.
My choice for that was the Kameman Genmaishu.
This Sake made with unpolished rice is characterised by wonderful roasted flavours, toffee and cacao notes that greatly combine with this dish’s flavours and tastes.
