100 leading Chinese and Japanese Restaurants join forces to promote the heavenly match of sake and seafood
To prove sake not only is a perfect pairing with Japanese cuisine but also with Cantonese seafood cuisine, SEAFOOD LOVES SAKE. has shifted the focus this year to Cantonese fares – around 60 of the 100 partner restaurants are Chinese diners; the remaining 40 are Japanese. This marks a historical high number of participating restaurants compared with the previous two years! Each partner restaurant will launch at least 3 seasonal seafood dishes, followed by a curated sake pairing by Sake Sommelier Ivan Sean. The total of around 300 sake x seafood combinations will allow more Hongkongers to have a taste of this match made in heaven.
