Irresistible Sushi and Wine Combination

Irresistible Japanese snacks in the Land of the Rising Sun are most often paired with green tea and different types of sake and beer, but we increasingly see combinations with different wine varieties. Specifically, Japanese cuisine goes well with wines because sushi contains not only rice and fish but also numerous sauces that contribute to the fullness of flavor. There are many possible combinations, and experienced connoisseurs of sushi and wine from the Adriatic & Sushi Oyster bar will help you pair delicious Japanese snacks with over 40 wine labels from all over Croatia.

It is a common opinion that sushi goes best with light white wines, but pairing it with red wines will enchant you so much that you will not stop at just one glass. Pinot Noir, Chianti, Teran, aged Merlot, or a blend based on Merlot will go great with tuna sushi. Rosé wines go best with classic salmon sushi and Muscat with eel sushi. Eel meat will bring out the fruit acidity and herbs in the wine and give it a bright flavor.

When it comes to white wines, it is recommended to use dry wines that go well with seafood and rice. The refined and strong aroma of the king of white varieties – Rhine Riesling, will fit perfectly with the popular Japanese delicacy. More modern versions of sushi with cream cheese will go excellent with light Chardonnay, while spicy sushi will go best with aromatic wines with low alcohol content. When pairing, don’t forget sparkling wines and prosecco! Their bubbles will further accentuate the spiciness of the spicy sushi and you certainly won’t be able to stop at just one glass!

Don’t take our word for it, book a table on the most beautiful terrace in Split and find your ideal sushi and wine combination!
