Discover the Perfect Pairing: Sake High! with Pizza, Burgers, and Caviar – Your LA Foodie Adventure Starts Here
Sake has long been celebrated for its versatility and ability to elevate a wide range of cuisines. At Sake High!, we're redefining how sake is enjoyed—pairing it with everything from casual comfort food to luxurious indulgences right here in Los Angeles. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast, wine connoisseur, mixology adventurer, or food lover, sake offers a unique experience that bridges cultures and flavor profiles.
Why Sake is the Ultimate Beverage for Every Occasion
Unlike wine or beer, sake is brewed like beer but shares the complexity of fine wine. Its mellow acidity and umami-rich profile make it an ideal companion for diverse cuisines. From fruity and floral notes to earthy undertones, sake’s flavor spectrum invites exploration. It’s also lower in acidity than wine, making it incredibly food-friendly without overwhelming your palate.
For those new to sake, think of it as a bridge between beer’s casual appeal and wine’s sophistication. And for mixologists? Sake’s delicate sweetness and smooth texture provide endless opportunities for creative cocktails. Plus, you can find Sake High! at local LA hotspots and select retailers.
Pizza + Sake: A Match Made in Heaven
Who says pizza night has to be all about beer? The subtle umami of sake perfectly complements the savory toppings and crispy crusts of pizza. Pair our chilled Sake High! Premium Junmai with slices from our favorite LA pizza spots:
@lasorteds: Known for their bold toppings and crispy crusts (like the pepperoni slice in the photo!).
@pizzeria.sei: A Neapolitan-style haven with fresh ingredients.
@triplebeampizza: Perfectly portioned slices with artisanal flair.
The softness of sake balances the richness of cheese while enhancing flavors like pepperoni or mushrooms. #LAPizza #LAFoodie #SakePairing
Burgers + Sake: Elevate Your Comfort Food
Burgers are another unexpected but delightful pairing with sake. The umami in both the meat and sake creates a harmonious balance, while the beverage’s smooth texture cuts through the richness of melted cheese and juicy patties. Pair Sake High! with your favorites:
@thewindow.la: A local gem serving up smash burgers with fresh ingredients.
In-N-Out: A California classic that never disappoints.
@banbanburger: For those who love bold flavors and unique twists. Our team's obsessed with the spicy miso burger!
Pro tip: Serve your Sake High! chilled for a refreshing contrast to hot-off-the-grill burgers. #LABurgers #SoCalEats #SakeHigh
Caviar + Sake: Luxurious Indulgence Redefined
For food lovers seeking something more refined, pair Sake High! with caviar. The clean, aromatic profile of premium Junmai sake enhances the briny richness of caviar without overpowering it. We love partnering with @roecaviar, a female-owned brand that embodies quality and elegance. P.S. They're female-owned, just like us!
This pairing isn’t just about indulgence—it’s about creating an elevated sensory experience that celebrates craftsmanship in both food and drink. #LACaviar #LuxuryFood #SakeAndCaviar
For Wine Lovers: Why Sake Deserves Your Attention
If you’re a wine enthusiast hesitant to try sake, consider this: like wine, sake offers complex flavor profiles ranging from fruity to earthy. Premium sakes like Junmai are crafted with care, much like fine wines, but lack the tannins and high acidity that can limit food pairings. Think of it as a softer alternative to Riesling or Pinot Noir—versatile enough for any meal. It's the wine world's best-kept secret, perfect for the LA palate!
For Mixologists: Unlock New Cocktail Possibilities
Sake isn’t just for sipping—it’s also a fantastic base for cocktails. Its subtle sweetness and umami create depth in mixed drinks while keeping alcohol content lower than traditional spirits. Imagine a refreshing summer cocktail blending sparkling Junmai sake with citrus or tropical fruits—or even using it as a twist on sangria or martinis.
