There are few things as delightful as a champagne cocktail. When paired with sake-poached strawberries, the resulting combination is taken to a new level of culinary magic.
We use champagne and TYKU Junmai Sake as our bases in this recipe. The clean effervescence from the champagne elevates the smooth sake, creating a drink with gentle notes of pear and leaving a softness on the palate. Enjoy as a simple yet sophisticated dessert that’s guaranteed to impress your loved ones.
