Thai Green Curry with Sparkling Sake Saku

Thai green curry has sweetness and richness of coconut milk in pungent taste. Usually, Thai cuisine goes with cold beer, white wine or natural sweet liquor such as sweet plum wine and yuzu wine. Today, we recommend Sparkling Sake Saku because it has a floral scent and a dry finish with unique SAKE flavour.

This pairing is a great fit in Summer!
