Sake and Game Day: Perfect Pairings for Your Watch Party
Sake and Game Day: Perfect Pairings for Your Watch Party
Hosting a game day party? Sake might not be the first drink that comes to mind, but it’s a fantastic match for all kinds of game day foods. While sushi and sake are a classic combo—feel free to order that sushi boat—sake can also elevate your favorite party snacks.
Here are four easy game day foods and the sake styles that pair perfectly with them:
-
Savory Sliders: For mini burgers or other rich, savory sliders, try a Honjozo sake. Its umami-rich character and balanced dryness will complement the savory notes of the meat.
-
Chicken Wings: Whether your wings are spicy or sweet, a Junmai sake is a great match. Its straightforward umami and full-bodied profile will handle bold flavors well.
-
Mini Hot Dogs: Pair these with a Junmai Ginjo. This style has a touch of fruitiness and a smooth texture that pairs well with the savory, slightly salty bite of mini hot dogs.
-
Cheese Dip or Spinach Artichoke Dip: For rich, creamy dips, a Junmai Daiginjo is the perfect choice. Its delicate, floral notes and elegant finish will cut through the richness and add a layer of sophistication.
