Ahead of the upcoming Midsummer Day of the Ox, let us introduce you to the perfect pairing: eel, a traditional Japanese summer delicacy, and Izu's mellow wine!
The combination of eel and wine may seem surprising, but in fact, the two create a wonderful marriage that enhances the appeal of each other.
In this article, our staff, including sommeliers and winemakers, will examine the compatibility of a number of Izu wines with eel, focusing in particular on three wines : Izu Merlot 2023 , Izu Petit Verdot 20221 , and Izu Yama Sauvignon 2022. We will introduce the appeal of each pairing from three perspectives for getting the most out of your eel and wine experience.
The other day, I finally got the chance to taste the 2023 vintage of Izu Sparkling Wine Souki . I had heard about it before, but this was my first time actually tasting it. When talking about this wine, one thing that cannot be avoided is the " dosage ," a very fascinating process that helps understand the depth of sparkling winemaking. What particularly captivated me this time was the " umami" (savory flavor ) that resides within Souki . In this article, I would like to talk about the magic of dosage and umami that I felt when I actually tasted it.
