Sushi and sashimi & Champagne & Alsace
Sushi and sashimi, fresh and delicate with their raw fish, pair with very crisp dry white wines. A brut nature champagne or Alsace Riesling brings the minerality and acidity that extend the umami of the raw fish.

Recommended wines
Brut Nature Champagne

- 8-10°C
Fine bubbles and cutting acidity that cleanse the richness of fatty fish (tuna, salmon)

Minerality and citrus that echo the soy sauce and pickled ginger
Sommelier tip
Avoid tannic or oaked wines — they crush the delicacy of raw fish. Japanese sake is the most classic pairing, but Riesling or champagne are the best French wine alternatives.
