Having looked at a selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/en\/traditional-italian-dishes-wine-pairing-suggestions\/\"><u><strong>traditional Italian dishes<\/strong><\/u><\/a>, today we turn to a branch of the <strong>Horeca<\/strong> food and wine world that in recent years has captured the interest of <strong>sommeliers<\/strong>, and in turn of diners keen on food and wine pairing: <strong>Japanese cuisine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"6cae44b\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"6cae44b\">As usual, a general look at <strong>ingredients<\/strong>, <strong>spices<\/strong> and <strong>cooking methods<\/strong> (more important than ever in the case of Japanese cuisine) will be followed by a pairing of each category of dishes with a wine from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/en\/producers\/\"><u><strong>Wine Terroir Selection<\/strong><\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"4eb2deb\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4eb2deb\">The style and culture of Japanese cuisine: restaurants and wine<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"8bddc44\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"8bddc44\"><strong>Japanese cuisine<\/strong> is not just <strong>sushi<\/strong> and <strong>sashimi<\/strong>, yet in Italy these are the two dishes diners know best, and consequently the ones they eat most. Indeed, for the average customer the word &quot;sushi&quot; has become synonymous with &quot;Japanese restaurant&quot;. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"b2dfb8a\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b2dfb8a\">In fact, sushi is a category of dishes based on fish and rice, but it represents only <strong>a small fraction<\/strong> of Japanese culinary culture and of what a good Japanese restaurant has to offer today.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"22380cd\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"22380cd\">To talk about <strong>Japanese cuisine<\/strong>, you need to be able to distinguish between different styles of preparation, cooking, use of spices and marinating. And, crucially for food and wine pairing, you also need to consider how frequently the flavours change: think, for example, of <strong>Kaiseki<\/strong> cuisine, where the courses are small and highly varied, and are traditionally served all together \u2013 creating a composition of different dishes on the table.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"c854890\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"c854890\">Dishes may be served cold (as with <strong>Nigiri<\/strong> or many <strong>Uramaki<\/strong>) or hot. This is the case, for example, with <strong>Ramen<\/strong> (vegetable, meat or fish broths with noodles, or &quot;tagliolini&quot;, made from various types of flour), <strong>Katsuobushi<\/strong> (dried and often smoked tuna flakes), <strong>Tofu<\/strong>, <strong>Miso<\/strong> (fermented soybean paste), various kinds of meat (often white meat), and much more besides.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"1f5a35e\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1f5a35e\">Which wine should you pair with such a varied range of dishes and preparations? What rules should guide a <strong>&quot;Japanese cuisine and wine&quot; pairing<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"de1b602\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"de1b602\">Rice and starch-based dishes: pairing with Alsace Riesling<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"49e83db\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"49e83db\">Let's start with dishes containing rice, such as <strong>Uramaki<\/strong>, <strong>Chirashi<\/strong> and <strong>Nigiri<\/strong>, or another starchy element, such as the <strong>noodles<\/strong> in <strong>Ramen<\/strong>. In all these cases, a key factor to bear in mind when devising a food and wine pairing is precisely <strong>starch<\/strong>, a member of the carbohydrate family. Starting from the starch, you can then go into more detail on spices and cooking methods.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"08abe99\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"08abe99\">For pairing the starch-based dishes of Japanese cuisine, we have chosen a grape variety that works across the board with this cuisine: Riesling. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"b57c254\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b57c254\">Specifically, we suggest the <strong>Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg<\/strong> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/en\/produttore\/bernard-haas\/\"><u><strong>Domaine Bernard Haas<\/strong><\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c059f8 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div wt-n-figure \" data-id=\"8c059f8\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"8c059f8\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"8c059f8\">\n    \t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"e-image-base e-default-img wt-n-img-small wt-n-img\" data-interaction-id=\"ed30812\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"ed30812\" id=\"2867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cucina-giapponese-piatti-ingredienti-vino-pro-1.png\" width=\"274\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cucina-giapponese-piatti-ingredienti-vino-pro-1.png 274w, https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cucina-giapponese-piatti-ingredienti-vino-pro-1-114x300.png 114w\" alt=\"bottiglia di vino importazione distribuzione riesling grand cru schlossberg domaine bernard haas abbinamento cibo vino cucina giapponese\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wt-n-caption e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"bdf12d8\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"bdf12d8\">Domaine Bernard Haas, Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"fc457ae\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"fc457ae\"><strong>Riesling<\/strong> from <strong>Alsace<\/strong> proves capable of partnering both cold dishes such as Uramaki and Nigiri and hot dishes. Thanks to its 9 g\/l of residual sugar, the <strong>Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg<\/strong> pairs well with the rice used in cold fish-based dishes such as Nigiri. The <strong>rice<\/strong> in Japanese cuisine is quite particular: after cooking it is seasoned with <em>rice vinegar<\/em> and <em>sugar.<\/em> This means that pairing it with a wine whose residual sugar is too low would risk creating <strong>too sharp a contrast<\/strong> with the dish, leaving an unpleasant sense of acidity on the palate. At the same time, with hot dishes such as <strong>Ramen<\/strong> with <strong>noodles<\/strong>, you need to take into account the use of <strong>ginger<\/strong>. An almost ubiquitous ingredient in Japanese cuisine, ginger takes very kindly to the petrol notes that characterise this variety, which thus complement the more intense aromas.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"c4e7d81\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"c4e7d81\">Having to hold its own across such a varied range of dishes, united by a strong starchy base, the <strong>Riesling<\/strong> we propose offers a perfect balance of mineral, floral (acacia and cherry blossom, evoking Japan) and fruity notes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"2330bec\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"2330bec\">Raw fish dishes: pairing with Cr\u00e9mant d'Alsace<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"6039d12\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"6039d12\">Now let's turn to another category of typical Japanese dishes: those made with various kinds of raw fish, such as <strong>sashimi<\/strong>.

This is a <strong>traditional-method<\/strong> (m\u00e9thode champenoise) sparkling wine made from 90% <strong>Pinot Blanc<\/strong> and 10% <strong>Pinot Gris<\/strong>, which spends a minimum of 15 months on the lees before disgorgement and release. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"76ce1b0\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"76ce1b0\"><strong>Pinot Blanc<\/strong> is a variety that gives the wine freshness and good acidity, with a light body but an aromatic bouquet of floral and fruity notes, crisp apple and slightly underripe peach. <strong>Pinot Gris<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a variety that offers greater complexity, especially in Alsace. Blended with Pinot Blanc, it gives the glass a more complex bouquet with notes of smoke, ginger, honey and dried fruit. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"0a073f7\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0a073f7\">These two varieties, with Pinot Blanc to the fore, work together perfectly alongside raw fish dishes, where the bubbles <strong>must not overpower<\/strong> the flavour and savouriness of the fish (as might happen with a <em>Champagne<\/em>): from the fattier cuts (such as tuna and salmon) to the more delicate ones (sea bass, or even a crustacean such as prawn), <strong>Cr\u00e9mant d'Alsace<\/strong> pairs with and complements the fish thanks to its freshness and finesse.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"b1e94b6\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b1e94b6\">White meat dishes: pairing with Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"a9f28ce\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"a9f28ce\">Japanese cuisine is not based solely on fish dishes, however; on the contrary, there are plenty of <strong>meat<\/strong>-based preparations \u2013 especially white meat.

The resulting <strong>Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong> is a medium-bodied wine, able to stand up to the structure of the meat. Above all, it is a variety with aromatic characteristics intense enough to &quot;accompany&quot; the <strong>aromas<\/strong> and <strong>spices<\/strong> from the marinade. The wine's sensory profile, ranging from herbaceous and wild-flower notes to riper hints of yellow fruit, with touches of flint, sits well with many of the most commonly used flavourings. In particular, the meat often carries slightly spicy notes from the fresh ginger and more savoury, umami flavours from the soy sauce. Dressing the meat after cooking with teriyaki sauce, which leans towards sweetness, is also common. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"1af0e09\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"1af0e09\">Thanks to its structure and sensory profile, <strong>Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong> manages to accompany all these flavours and aromas without clashing even with the spiciest notes (as might happen with a red wine).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"b2ec454\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b2ec454\">And you, dear restaurateur friends, how would you pair your Japanese dishes with the wines of the <strong>Wine Terroir Selection<\/strong>?
