Yet again a great match for Sakana with Hsing/Mimi but this time Vollenweider provided good competition. The Omakase was same as last time, last day of the monthly menu so a good comp. Thought the food was actually a bit off compared to previous time but still what a great combo with the wines.

Jul 1st, 2022Sakana dinner 11/18/21 with Wilson/Mabel. What a wine! Deep golden color more akin to older Sauternes and a honeyed floral nose laced with acidic tones. Caressing stimulating lively texture that dances effortlessly on palate but still with sense of weight. Long overly finish. Matched the courses except for the Sanma Pike Mackerel where somehow it highlighted the fishiness. Otherwise it simply melted in and added to all the different flavors. Easily beat out Wu sake and dry Grand Cru Riesling. Found the perfect wine for the Omakase!
