Sake is usually paired with sushi, ramen, tempura, and other Japanese foods. The multi-layered flavors of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami make Thai food a great match for crisp and aromatic Sakes. For spicier dishes, choose a Sake with a hint of sweetness to temper the heat and a streak of acidity to highlight the top notes and bring balance to the bottom notes of the dish.
