Chef Mr Shioi shows us a simple dish that he often serves at the Japanese Embassy in Canberra.Wine match Clonakilla Riesling 2012, Canberra, ACT
This is a very delicate dish with simple, yet intricate, flavours, so it needs to be sensitively handled on the wine front. In this situation, a dry Aussie riesling can often be the best way to go. Australia makes undoubtedly some of the best dry riesling in the world, with everything from slate, to floral, to intense citrus flavours. When you’re in Australia’s capital, you don’t have too far to travel to find it. Clonakilla is rightly famous for its shiraz viognier, but the riesling is also superb, with laser-like edges and a beautiful balance of flavours, such as white flowers, apple and citrus fruit.
