Mussels x Junmai-shu

(English follows Japanese)
 
ムール貝のビール蒸しに純米酒をあわせてみました。おサレ居酒屋のシェフの日本酒仲間から教えていただいたレシピとマリアージュです。高野酒造(新潟県)越路吹雪 純米酒と共に。ムール貝と純米酒の相性、サイコー!!!かなりいけます。
 
高野酒造(新潟県)越路吹雪 純米酒
まろやかな米の旨みと後味のキレの良い純米酒。常温で。
 
An experiment of sake food pairing. Mussels steamed with bouillon and beer. I got the idea and recipe from one of my sake friend who runs izakaya (Japanese tapas bar) in Tokyo.  I usually pair a steamed mussels with white wine, but it was surprisingly good matching with Junmai-shu. The biteness from beer and umami from bouillon/mussels perfectly go well with sake. Try it.
 
Echigo Fubuki Junmai-shu : Takano Brewery (Niigata Prefecture)
A mild sake with a mellow flavour from rice itself and sharp aftertaste. Enjoy with a room temperature.
