Why Nabe and Warmed Sake?
为什么是火锅和烫酒搭配呢？
Sake contains particularly high levels of amino acids compared to other alcoholic beverages, due to the complex fermentation process it undergoes. Nabe, on the other hand, contains high levels of the flavour components glutamic acid, inosinic acid and guanylic acid, not only in the ingredients, but also in the kelp and dried bonito flakes used for the broth. Nabe dishes, in which various types of ingredients are simmered in dashi broth, are said to be a treasure trove of umami. Warming up sake further increases its aroma and umami, while the taste becomes more mellow so it will go well with any kind of nabe dish.
与其他酒精饮料相比，清酒的氨基酸含量特别高，这是因为它经历了复杂的发酵过程。另一方面，火锅含有大量的风味成分谷氨酸，肌苷酸和鸟苷酸，不仅存在于食材中，海带底汤和干鲣鱼片中也有。火锅是用各种食材在鱼汤中炖煮而成，味道鲜味丰富。温热的清酒进一步增加了它的香气和鲜味，同时味道变得更加醇厚，所以它适合与任何一种美食搭配。
