Sake Challenge - Sake vs. Peruvian Food
The Sake Challenge is my way for you great consumers to see outside of the sushi paradigm, and to achieve this "new view on brew" I will usually select two different sake styles and price-points and bring them to a non-Japanese restaurant with a celebrity, sake-sleuth or hell even a friend in tow.
Read about past challenges:
I have done several sake and Peruvian cuisine challenges before because they work so well. Thus I felt it was time to do a repeat - why not enjoy a good thing? A re-visit to Limon (limon-sf.com) on Valencia Street was in order, especially since they re-opened after a very unlucky kitchen fire.
Accompanying me on this Sake Challenge was Nagano Prefecture's very own Naomi Fujimori who is not only a "super foodie" but also a Professional Mixologist who specializes in "multi-cultural" cocktails (Lychee Martini is a top contender). And speaking of "multicultural" what better pairing than Japanese "rice wine" and Peruvian yummy dishes from ceviche and huge corn to chicken skewers and octopus can you find?
I selected two sakes of completely different styles - one rich and round the other big and bombastic, both reasonably affordable.
