|當 pairing,不再被既有邏輯限制 meet. CINCORO by Michael Jordan
In most Japanese dining experiences, pairings tend to follow a familiar taste, Sake, however at Wasabi, familiarity is not a rule.
In collaboration with CINCORO, co-founded by Michael Jordan, this experience introduces premium tequila into the realm of Japanese pairing. What may initially seem like an unlikely combination reveals a surprising harmony.
The natural sweetness and richness of botan shrimp, layered with a subtle oceanic minerality, are not overpowered, but rather extended by CINCORO’s rounded body.
Wasabi is the first restaurant in Taiwan to incorporate CINCORO into a Japanese omakase pairing.
This is not innovation for its own ”sake“, but what remains when conventions are removed.
——————
在多數日本料理中,
餐酒搭配往往有既定印象——清酒。
但在山葵 Wasabi,
既定印象,並不是規則。
這一次,與
CINCORO(由 Michael Jordan 等人共同創立)合作,
將高端龍舌蘭帶入餐點 pairing,而不只是停留在杯中。
原本看似不合理的組合,
入口後,卻意外帶來驚喜。
牡丹蝦的甜與油脂,帶著微微的海水氣息,
在 CINCORO 圓潤的酒體中被延伸,而非覆蓋。
鹹、甜、酒體之間,
形成一種接近海的層次。
山葵 Wasabi,
成為台灣第一間,
將 CINCORO 納入日料 pairing 的餐廳。
這不是創新,
而是當規則被拿掉之後,留下來的結果。
