Fondue season is open - with sake!
When it gets cold, the fire is lit and the cozy fondue season begins!
Whether it's the classic cheese fondue, the fish version or the Japanese Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki...
shizuku will be happy to recommend the right nihonshu for each dish.
Bon appétit!
Sake in a cheese fondue
'Finally enjoyed a delicious #Fondue with #Sake (instead of white wine) from @shizuku_ch. Highly recommended! Thank you Marc Nydegger for the tip and the advice!'
Connoisseur Martin has tried it - in & with the cheese fondue. You too?
The fondue actually gets cheesier, velvety and smoother thanks to the low acidity of sake, for example with the:
... velvety, full-bodied Asahimai Junmai
... round, flavoured Inatahime Ryokan
... strong & intense Miyabi
Sake for fondue with fish
Fish delicacies from the fire pot. For a fish fondue with scallops, prawns or salmon, we recommend the:
... fruity & aromatic Daiginjo Kokuryu Gin no Tobira
... crisp, fresh & elegantly floral Gekkeikan Daiginjo
... strong, sweet Junmai Ginjo Karaku Amakuchi
Sake with Shabu Shabu & Sukiyaki
Finely sliced entrecôte, glass noodles, mushrooms, tofu, various vegetables, rice & sauces and a nice glass of Japan, such as from the:
... complex, lively & powerful Daihoju
... elegant, aromatic & mineral Goriki Junmai Daiginjo
... full-bodied & velvety Junmai Daiginjo Kozaemon Akaiwa Omachi
Put good things in the pot & enjoy them in good company. Enjoy your meal & kanpai!
