HOW TO ENJOY
PAIRING
Akatsuki’s complex mix of fruit and mineral notes makes it versatile: it elevates oysters, caviar, lobster, or foie gras beautifully, yet equally complements refined kaiseki, grilled white fish, and light pasta dishes.
SERVING
Serve chilled (10–12 °C) in a wine or tulip glass to capture and enhance its delicate aromas. Pour gradually—about one-third full—to maintain crisp freshness.
