Event Description
Looking for something different to enhance your favourite food?
Join us at South London Wine School for an evening introduction to sushi and wine pairing. Matching sushi with wine is actually quite tricky to do well, due to the power of umami (savouriness, the "fifth taste") and the delicacy of raw fish. Our wine & sake tutor and resident Japan expert Sarah will pass on some simple pairing rules and introduce you to some classic as well as more unusual types of pairings.
On the night you will enjoy four hand-selected wines, including a koshu, Japan's indigenous white grape varietal that goes beautifully with sushi, and as a special treat, we will also introduce you to two premium sakes - all alongside a selection of freshly made sushi from a local restaurant favourite.
You'll pick up lots of useful information to help you choose the perfect beverage match for your sushi selections, and find out why sake is a firm favourite for this style of cuisine as well which styles of wine to aim for and to avoid for pairing success. This class also makes the perfect gift for the foodie in your life!
