? As you already know, sushi is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of vinegared rice combined with other ingredients such as fish or vegetables. While sushi is widespread throughout the world, it is only occasionally eaten in its country of origin.<\/span><\/p>\n

? <\/strong>Which wine should you choose to go with it? Sushi may look simple, but it's made up of many different textures and spices. Between the aromas and fat of salmon or tuna, the power of ginger and the pasty texture of rice, wine will have its work cut out for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red or white?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

?<\/strong> Bye bye red wines! The best wines to accompany sushi are white wines<\/strong> because they can respond with both flavors and materials. Visit <\/span>Chablis<\/b><\/span><\/a> for example; Chardonnay will provide the necessary fatness to accompany the fat of a raw fish without rushing it. Its lemony finish will give a boost to the aromas. Other white Burgundy wines can be paired with sushi. These include wines from the M\u00e2connais region, appellations such as <\/span>Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9<\/b><\/span><\/a> or the <\/span>Saint-V\u00e9ran<\/b><\/span>wines, richer in aroma, will go very well with the spices of ginger, for example. If you want to play the freshness card, Loire Valley wines are for you. Particularly wines made from Sauvignon, the flagship grape variety of Loire Valley wines. <\/span>Pouilly-Fum\u00e9<\/b><\/span><\/a>of <\/span>Sancerre <\/b><\/span><\/a>or even <\/span>Menetou Salon<\/b><\/span>. This grape gives off aromas of citrus, white fruits and mineral notes on the finest terroirs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
