Best Wine with Sushi

Delicate sushi demands clean, crisp wines that complement without overwhelming.

Why This Pairing Works

The subtle flavors of quality sushi need wines that refresh and cleanse without competing. The umami in soy sauce and the heat of wasabi require specific wine considerations.

Pairing Tips

  • Champagne's bubbles and minerality complement sushi beautifully
  • Sake is the traditional pairing—dry junmai works well
  • Fatty fish (salmon, toro) can handle slightly richer wines
  • Be careful with soy sauce—it can overpower delicate wines

Wines to Avoid

  • Oaky wines
  • Red wines (clash with fish and wasabi)
  • Sweet wines
  • Heavy, rich wines
