- In the season of fresh greenery, start refreshingly with a fresh, light new sake or ginjo sake.

The Harmony of Seasonal Sake and Cuisine: An Encounter with Omi Beef
The charm of sake lies not only in its deliciousness on its own but in the infinite world that opens up through its pairing with food. In particular, pairing with seasonal ingredients enhances each other's flavors and creates unforgettable taste memories. At our restaurant, we carefully select seasonal ingredients that can only be enjoyed at that time of year and offer dishes that bring out the maximum personality of each sake.
The Delicate Harmony of Seasonal Seafood and Sake
Seafood nurtured by Japan's rich seas and rivers changes with the seasons, captivating us. For seafood with a delicate taste, it is crucial to choose a sake that does not overpower its flavor.
- Spring Seafood For example, for fish like sea bream and halfbeak, which are light yet have an elegant umami, a light, fruity ginjo or new sake is a perfect match. Its crispness, which seems to melt in your mouth, highlights the delicate flavor of the ingredients.
- Summer Seafood For seasonal sweetfish and pike conger, a crisp nama-zake or chilled sake is recommended. The refreshing sake provides a pairing that makes you forget the summer heat.
- Autumn Seafood For autumn delicacies like fatty saury and returning bonito, a hiyaoroshi or junmai sake with a rich aroma and mellow umami is a good match. The deep sake further enhances the rich umami of the fish.
- Winter Seafood For richly flavored seafood like seasonal crab, pufferfish, and yellowtail, a full-bodied aged sake or a junmai sake that is also delicious warm is recommended. A powerful sake further draws out the depth of winter flavors.
Choosing Sake to Best Enjoy Omi Beef
Shiga's prized brand of beef, Omi beef, is characterized by its fine texture and sweet, melt-in-your-mouth fat. To help you enjoy this exquisite ingredient in its best form, we understand the characteristics of Omi beef and propose the optimal Moriyama sake.
To complement the deep umami and high-quality sweet fat of Omi beef, a full-bodied junmai or a crisp, dry sake is ideal. For example, a mellow junmai ginjo brings out the delicate umami of Omi beef's red meat, creating a blissful experience where both melt together in your mouth. For fattier cuts, choosing a dry junmai that cleanses the palate allows you to enjoy the deliciousness of Omi beef without growing tired of it.
Our chefs select the perfect sake to match various preparation methods for Omi beef, offering our guests new discoveries and excitement. Please experience the exquisite marriage of Omi beef and Moriyama sake.
