MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku - French Pear Cake & Sake

He loves food, he loves cooking and he enjoys sake.
Meikel - Graphic Designer, DJ and Sake Addict - tries out, combines and discovers.

This time: A heavenly sweet, caramelized pear cake from the hot oven, wonderfully soft and fluffy in the mouth - that's it.
Aside: The elegant & fresh The Shunnouten. Creamy, smooth & round on the palate, with a crisp & pure umami flavour. A nice, drinkable Junmai Daiginjo even for sake beginners.

Culinary conclusion: 'I find it a nice challenge to pair sake with sweet dishes. And with this heavenly sweet cake absolutely a blast! Lukewarm and while the caramel is still liquid, it tastes best to me. A fluffy cloud on the palate with this fresh, harmoniously fruity sake... Top.'

And this dessert combination is also a perfectly apt reflection of Marc and Meikel's long-standing interaction: 'I baked this cake and thought of sake in the back of my mind. Barely posted, it wasn't 2 minutes before Marc called me and explicitly recommended this sake to go with it. Simply brilliant this combo, as is our culinary bromance...', laughs Meikel.

Or as Marc always says, 'Let's make the cake bigger!'
Everyone can have a taste. So take a bite & enjoy with us...

As simple. As good. MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku.
