Pairing wine with Japanese food isn’t always intuitive, but it’s incredibly rewarding. Unlike the straightforward rule of “red with meat, white with fish,” Japanese cuisine demands more thoughtful matching due to its complex umami flavors, subtle seasonings, and diverse preparations.
After spending 15 years experimenting with sake alternatives, I’ve discovered that the right wine can transform your sushi, tempura, or teriyaki experience. The bright acidity in a crisp Riesling cuts through fatty tuna, while the mineral notes in Chablis complement ocean flavors in sashimi. Even red wines like Pinot Noir can work beautifully with Japanese beef dishes.
This guide will help you navigate wine pairings across different Japanese dishes:
- Sushi and sashimi companions beyond sake
- Tempura-friendly wines that balance fried textures
- Teriyaki and yakitori matches that enhance caramelized flavors
- Solutions for spicy Japanese dishes and rich curries
Whether you’re dining at an izakaya or preparing washoku at home, you’ll find perfect matches for your Japanese meal.
Detailed Wine Pairings for Japanese Food
Champagne
Wine Type:
Sparkling
Why it pairs well with Sushi & Sashimi:
Champagne works brilliantly with sushi because its effervescence cleanses the palate between bites of different fish. The high acidity cuts through fatty fish like toro (fatty tuna), while the crisp, clean profile doesn’t overwhelm delicate flavors. The bubbles also help neutralize wasabi heat.
Flavor Profile:
Green apple, citrus, white flowers, toast, and brioche notes. Light to medium body with high acidity and fine, persistent bubbles that create a creamy texture.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Blanc de Blancs Champagne (made entirely from Chardonnay) works particularly well, as does Brut Nature or Extra Brut styles with minimal dosage.
Serving Tips:
Serve well-chilled at 42-46°F (5-8°C) in a flute or tulip glass. No need to decant. Consider less wasabi with delicate vintage Champagnes.
Alternative Wines:
Crémant d’Alsace, Cava, or Franciacorta
Dry Riesling
Wine Type:
White
Why it pairs well with Sushi & Sashimi:
Riesling has electric acidity that cuts through fatty fish while its fruit profile enhances the natural sweetness of fresh seafood. The mineral backbone mirrors the ocean flavors in raw fish, while the aromatic profile stands up to soy sauce and wasabi without overwhelming.
Flavor Profile:
Green apple, lime, peach, white flowers, and distinctive slate/petrol notes. Light to medium body with razor-sharp acidity and typically dry finish in styles meant for food pairing.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Look for German Trocken (dry) Rieslings from Mosel or Rheingau, or Alsatian Riesling from France. Austrian Rieslings from Wachau are also excellent.
Serving Tips:
Serve chilled at 45-50°F (7-10°C) in a medium-sized white wine glass. Avoid excessive soy sauce which can overwhelm the wine’s subtleties.
Alternative Wines:
Dry Chenin Blanc, Sylvaner
Chablis
Wine Type:
White
Why it pairs well with Sushi & Sashimi:
Chablis from France has a distinctive flinty minerality that mirrors the ocean characteristics of fresh fish. Its restrained fruit profile and lack of oak influence make it complementary rather than competitive with delicate seafood. The elegant acidity refreshes between bites.
Flavor Profile:
Green apple, lemon, white flowers with pronounced chalky minerality. Light to medium body with high acidity and typically no oak influence, allowing pure expression of terroir.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Premier Cru or Grand Cru Chablis for special meals, but even village-level Chablis pairs beautifully. All are made from Chardonnay but with a distinctive mineral profile.
Serving Tips:
Serve at 48-52°F (9-11°C) in a standard white wine glass. Let high-quality bottles warm slightly from refrigerator temperature to fully express aromatics.
Alternative Wines:
Unoaked Chardonnay from cool regions, Muscadet
Grüner Veltliner
Wine Type:
White
Why it pairs well with Sushi & Sashimi:
Gruner Veltliner has a distinctive white pepper note that complements wasabi’s heat without amplifying it. The wine’s crisp acidity and vegetal notes work beautifully with cucumber in rolls, while the minerality enhances fish. Its versatility handles variety in sushi platters.
Flavor Profile:
Green apple, lime, white pepper, and sometimes lentil or fresh green notes. Light to medium body with high acidity and often a pleasing texture despite the crispness.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Austrian Grüner Veltliner, particularly from Wachau, Kremstal, or Kamptal regions. Look for Federspiel or Smaragd classification for more body with sashimi.

Alternative Wines:
Dry Silvaner, Verdejo
Albariño
Wine Type:
White
Why it pairs well with Sushi & Sashimi:
Albarino from Spain has natural salinity that echoes seafood’s ocean character. Its vibrant citrus notes enhance raw fish without overwhelming it, while the refreshing acidity cleanses the palate. The slight bitter finish works beautifully with nori seaweed.
Flavor Profile:
Lemon, grapefruit, peach, and distinctive saline minerality. Light to medium body with high acidity and often a slight salinity that makes it seafood-friendly.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Spanish Albariño from Rías Baixas or Portuguese Alvarinho from Vinho Verde regions.
Serving Tips:
Serve well-chilled at 45-48°F (7-9°C) in a standard white wine glass. Particularly good with mackerel and other stronger-flavored fish.
Alternative Wines:
Vinho Verde, Verdejo
Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Type:
White
Why it pairs well with Tempura:
Sauvignon Blanc‘s high acidity acts like a squeeze of lemon, cutting through the oiliness of tempura batter. The herbal and citrus notes complement the vegetables inside tempura, while the wine’s crispness refreshes the palate between bites of fried food.
Flavor Profile:
Grapefruit, gooseberry, fresh herbs, and sometimes grassy or bell pepper notes. Light to medium body with high acidity and typically no oak influence.
Best Styles or Varietals:
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough for more intense styles, or Loire Valley Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé for more mineral-driven styles.

Alternative Wines:
Vermentino, Picpoul de Pinet
Prosecco
Wine Type:
Sparkling
Why it pairs well with Tempura:
Prosecco works wonders with tempura because the bubbles cleanse oil from the palate while the light body doesn’t compete with delicate vegetables or seafood. Its subtle fruit notes complement rather than overwhelm tempura’s light batters.
Flavor Profile:
Green apple, pear, white peach, and sometimes light floral notes. Light body with moderate acidity and gentle bubbles.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Look for Prosecco Superiore DOCG from Conegliano Valdobbiadene in Italy, particularly in the Brut style for food pairing.
Serving Tips:
Serve very chilled at 42-46°F (5-8°C) in a flute or tulip glass. The colder temperature helps maintain effervescence and enhances the wine’s ability to refresh between bites.
Alternative Wines:
Cava, Crémant de Loire
Pinot Gris
Wine Type:
White
Why it pairs well with Tempura:
Pinot Gris (Grigio) has enough body to stand up to fried tempura batter while maintaining freshness. Its subtle fruit character doesn’t overwhelm delicate tempura ingredients, and the slight richness harmonizes with the satisfying crunch of good tempura.
Flavor Profile:
Pear, apple, stone fruits with sometimes a slight honeyed quality. Medium body with moderate acidity and a slightly richer mouthfeel than many white wines.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Alsatian Pinot Gris from France for fuller-bodied versions, or Italian Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige for lighter styles.

Dry Pinot Blanc, Fiano
Pinot Noir
Wine Type:
Red
Why it pairs well with Teriyaki Dishes:
Pinot Noir has the perfect balance for teriyaki—light enough not to overwhelm the dish but structured enough to complement the sweet-savory glaze. Its bright acidity cuts through the sweetness while the red fruit notes enhance teriyaki’s caramelized character. The silky tannins don’t clash with the umami flavors.

Red cherry, strawberry, raspberry with earthy undertones and sometimes mushroom or forest floor notes. Light to medium body with moderate acidity and soft tannins.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Oregon Willamette Valley Pinot Noir or cooler-climate California Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley). Burgundy from France offers more earthy styles.

Merlot
Wine Type:
Red
Why it pairs well with Teriyaki Dishes:

Flavor Profile:
Plum, black cherry, chocolate with sometimes hints of herbs. Medium to full body with moderate acidity and soft, accessible tannins.
Best Styles or Varietals:
Washington State Merlot or cooler climate Bordeaux Right Bank (Saint-Émilion) where Merlot dominates.

Alternative Wines:
Malbec, Carménère
Grenache
Wine Type:
Red
Why it pairs well with Teriyaki Dishes:

FAQ on What Wine Goes With Japanese Food
Is sake the only authentic drink to pair with Japanese cuisine?
No. While sake has traditional significance, wine pairings have gained popularity in Japan’s culinary scene. Many izakaya now offer extensive wine selections. Crisp whites like Sauvignon Blanc or sparkling wines complement many Japanese dishes beautifully, offering acidity that balances umami flavors effectively.
What white wine goes best with sushi?
Dry Riesling shines with sushi. Its electric acidity cuts through fatty fish like toro, while its mineral backbone complements wasabi’s heat without overwhelming. Chablis and Grüner Veltliner are excellent alternatives, with their crisp profiles and subtle complexity enhancing rather than competing with delicate fish flavors.
Can I drink red wine with Japanese food?
Absolutely. Light-bodied reds like Pinot Noir work wonderfully with teriyaki chicken or grilled fish. Beaujolais pairs beautifully with yakitori, while Barbera’s bright acidity cuts through fatty meats. Avoid heavy, tannic reds that overpower subtle Japanese flavors and clash with umami components.
What wine complements tempura best?
Sparkling wines like Prosecco or Champagne are ideal tempura partners. The bubbles refresh your palate between bites, cutting through the fried coating. Sauvignon Blanc offers a still alternative, with its sharp acidity acting like a squeeze of lemon that balances tempura’s richness perfectly.
How do wine tannins interact with wasabi and soy sauce?
Tannins often clash with wasabi’s heat and soy sauce’s saltiness, creating metallic or bitter flavors. This explains why delicate whites typically work better than bold reds with sushi. If choosing red wine, select those with minimal tannins like Pinot Noir or serve slightly chilled to reduce tannic impact.
What wine pairs with miso-based dishes?
Unoaked Chardonnay or Viognier complement miso’s rich umami character. Their natural buttery notes enhance miso’s savory depth without competing, while their moderate body stands up to the intensity. Marsanne works similarly, its nutty character harmonizing beautifully with fermented bean paste flavors.
How should I pair wine with spicy Japanese cuisine?
Off-dry wines provide the perfect balance with spicy Japanese dishes. Gewürztraminer’s slight sweetness tames heat while its spice notes complement rather than compete. Riesling Kabinett offers another excellent option, with its delicate sweetness and razor-sharp acidity refreshing your palate between fiery bites.
What’s the best wine for katsu curry?
Medium-bodied reds like Syrah work surprisingly well with Japanese curry. The wine’s peppery notes complement curry spices, while its structure balances the rich sauce. Zinfandel offers another excellent option, its jammy fruit standing up to curry’s sweet-savory profile without overwhelming the dish.
Does wine temperature matter when pairing with Japanese food?
Absolutely. Serve white wines like Albariño slightly colder (45-48°F/7-9°C) to maintain their refreshing qualities with sashimi. Light reds like Beaujolais benefit from slight chilling (55-60°F/13-16°C) when served with yakitori. Proper temperature enhances both the wine and its compatibility with washoku traditions.
How do I pair wine with a multi-course kaiseki meal?
Versatile wines with moderate acidity work best across multiple kaiseki courses. Dry sparkling wines like Champagne offer the flexibility to complement various preparations. Alternatively, provide wine progression—starting with light whites for delicate appetizers, moving to fuller-bodied options with main dishes, and finishing with dessert wines for wagashi.
Conclusion
Understanding what wine goes with Japanese food opens up exciting culinary possibilities beyond traditional sake pairings. The key lies in respecting washoku traditions while embracing complementary wine characteristics that enhance rather than overwhelm delicate flavors.
When selecting bottles for your next Japanese meal, remember these principles:
- Match intensity levels – delicate sashimi needs lighter wines like Albariño, while robust teriyaki can handle Pinot Noir
- Acidity is your friend with fatty Japanese dishes – seek out Chablis or Riesling
- Bubbles work wonders – Champagne and Prosecco refresh between bites of tempura
- Slight sweetness tames heat – off-dry Gewürztraminer balances wasabi and spicy dishes
The nihon ryori beverage landscape continues evolving, with sommeliers and chefs creating innovative matches daily. Don’t hesitate to experiment beyond these guidelines—sometimes unexpected combinations like Oregon Pinot Gris with donburi or Spanish Albariño with vegetable tempura create perfect harmony on your palate.
