How to Pair Japanese Food With Champagne

Our guest today is Frédéric Panaïotis who is the Chef de Cave or Cellar Master of Ruinart. Ruinart is the oldest Champagne producer that was founded in 1729. You may wonder why Japan Eats! has a Champagne master as a guest, but Champagne goes well with many different types of cuisines, including Japanese food. But it is not the only reason why Frédéric is here. He has a deep understanding of Japanese culture and is fluent in Japanese, including the Osaka dialect. In this episode, we will discuss how Frédéric got into Japanese culture, how he became the cellar master of the world-famous Champagne house, how to pair Japanese food with Champagne, how climate change is affecting Champagne production, and much, much more!Photo Courtesy of Romain Guittet.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
