Japan and Italy are 2 of my favorite travel destinations, in no small part due to their amazing food and drinks! 🇯🇵🇮🇹 Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful event hosted by the Japanese and Italian consulates in San Francisco, where we celebrated the culinary wonders of both countries and learned more about how Japanese food can be complemented by wine, and how sake can enhance the flavors of Italian cuisine 🍣🍷 So next time you have sushi, try pairing it with crisp white wine, or maybe some sake with your next pasta dinner! 🥂 Have you tried wine with Japanese food or sake with Italian food before? I love a Sauvignon Blan or Pinot Grigio with sushi, and the umami flavors of tomato and cheese found in many Italian dishes go perfectly with sake! 🍶🍝 . . . #wendaneats #wendaneatssf #食べるぜニッポン #japanxitaly #italyxjapan #sake #nihonshu #sushi #sashimi #washoku #酒 #日本酒 #寿司 #sanfrancisco #サンフランシスコ #finedining #pairing #cgjsf #japaneseseafood
