What to eat with itFood Pairings
Grilled fish（焼き魚）
CLASSICHioki Zakura's rice-forward junmai is heavy (0.54) and mellow (0.60) with almost no floral aroma; its dense umami answers the char of grilled and teriyaki fish.
Mushrooms（きのこ）
CLASSICThe earthy, low-aroma heaviness of Hioki Zakura (heavy 0.54, floral 0.12) makes it a savoury match for grilled mushrooms, depth meeting depth.
