Pairings

CASE1

Medium Fatty Tuna and “Nend”

The rich yet subtle sweetness of carefully selected medium fatty tuna harmonizes beautifully with the full-bodied flavor of “Nend”.

Sommelier’s Comment

Pairing with slightly fatty tuna brings out the acidity of the sake. The silky, marbled texture of the tuna harmonizes with Nend’s smooth and mellow mouthfeel.

CASE2

Charcoal-Grilled Black Cod and “Nend”

The deep, savory flavor of black cod, enriched with winter fat and enhanced by smoky notes, harmonizes with Nend’s luxurious rice umami.

Sommelier’s Comment

The umami of the cod and Nend complement each other to create a truly exceptional pairing.

CASE3

Mimolette Cheese and “Nend”

Cheese and sake can pair even better than cheese and red wine.This combination is often praised as an exceptional example of harmony.

Sommelier’s Comment

The cheese really amplifies the sake’s umami - an outstanding match.The intensity and sweetness harmonize perfectly, making this a flawless pairing.
