Sushi is no longer paired only with sake. In recent years, wine pairing with Japanese and Asian cuisine has become one of the biggest trends in the wine world, with sommeliers and wine lovers discovering new and exciting combinations.

The freshness of raw fish, the umami flavor of soy sauce, the heat of wasabi, and the spicy elements of Asian cuisine require wines with acidity, balance, and elegance. Heavy or highly tannic red wines often overpower the delicate flavors of sushi, which is why white wines, sparkling wines, and natural wines are usually the best choices.
Sparkling wines are considered by many to be the ideal wine pairing for sushi. Their bubbles, crisp acidity, and mineral character cleanse the palate beautifully and pair perfectly with sashimi, nigiri, and tempura rolls.

Beyond Champagne and sparkling wines, a high-quality sparkling wine or a Pet Nat is also an excellent choice for a more natural and contemporary pairing.
We believe that Assyrtiko is perhaps the best Greek wine for sushi. Its high acidity, citrus aromas, and mineral profile pair beautifully with raw fish and seafood-based rolls, while orange wines and natural wines continue to gain popularity in modern wine pairing culture. Their complexity and unique structure make them ideal companions for more creative sushi rolls and fusion Asian cuisine.
