Japanese food
The gentle and soft Japanese sake of UMENISHIKI matches fish from Seto Inland Sea very well. The light white sea bream is paired with the rich sake “SHUITSU” to bring out the sweetness, and the fatty yellowtail is paired with the dry Daiginjo “Daiginjo KARAKUCHI” for a crisp aftertaste.
Beers such as Pilsner and Blanche will bring out the original flavour of the ingredients/material when paired with simply seasoned Japanese food, such as seasonal vegetable tempura. A "a sake you can keep on drinking" with moderate sweetness and acidity is perfect for continuous enjoyment and has an excellent affinity with Japanese cuisine.- Recommended Selection

Western food
A deep pure Daiginjo, “HAKUTSURU NISHIKI” has fruity and mellow aroma and taste like wine. It pairs perfectly with classic Western dishes such as carpaccio and croquettes. For an unexpected combination, adding Wasabi to the cheese and combining it with the authentic Shochu “Ayame”, which has a gorgeous aroma, increases the richness and creates an addictive taste. Rich UMAMI of rice in Japanese Sake is the best for meat dishes.

Chinese food
Japanese sake is classified into 4 types, “KUNSHU”, ”SOUSHU”, “JUKUSHU” and “JUNSHU” and you can pair these with every kind of dishes. The spiciness of the Mapo-Tofu and the taste of juicy fat in Gyoza can be combined with the sweet and sharp pure Ginjo “SAKE HITOSUJI”. This combination makes the dish even more elegant and delicious in your mouth. Pair strongly seasoned Chinese food with strong-tasting Japanese sake. “SAKASO!”, a pure Ginjo sake made with EHIME SAKURA HIME yeast is gentle and soft Japanese sake. Surprisingly, it enhances the flavors and aromas when paired with dishes like Gong Bao Ji Ding (Kung Pao Chicken). Give it a try.
