Does wine go with sushi?
In the first place, many people may be wondering, "Does wine go well with sushi?" The answer is, "Wine goes well with sushi!" This is because even in France and Italy, the home of wine, there is a custom of eating raw fish. It is eaten as carpaccio with oil, salt, and vinegar. Wine goes perfectly with such carpaccio! If wine goes well with carpaccio, then wine also goes well with sushi. However, even though wine goes well with sushi, that doesn't mean it goes well with all wines. It is important to choose wine by considering the balance between raw fish, vinegared rice, and soy sauce.Points to note when pairing wine with sushi
