ミードの楽しみ方

How to enjoy mead

【How to drink】
Mead is enjoyed by pouring it directly into a glass, just like wine.

We recommend using a wine glass or an ANTELOPE original glass.

Sparkling varieties should be chilled before serving, similar to champagne or sparkling wine, while still varieties can be enjoyed at room temperature or lightly chilled.

【How to serve in a restaurant】
□ Dry mead: Enjoy on its own or paired with food. (Click here for pairing examples)

□ Sweet mead: Ideal for a celebratory toast with those who prefer lighter drinks, or as a pairing with a closing dessert.

Mead Pairing @Osara to Spoon

"The Last Supper × Red Sea Bream and Hyuganatsu Marinade"

Paired with The Last Supper, which features a refreshing acidity from lactic acid and a mellow, plum-like fruit aroma, is a marinade made with red sea bream and seasonal Hyuganatsu citrus. By adding plum flesh soaked in umeshu, the flavors are brought closer together to complement each other. The Hyuganatsu, larger than the slices of sea bream, is incredibly juicy, leaving behind a refreshing fragrance even after swallowing, and its soft acidity pairs perfectly with the acidity of The Last Supper. The light dusting of Japanese wild pepper also went wonderfully with the mead.

About a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station.

This is a restaurant run solely by a married couple, where you can "enjoy drinks and a meal while listening to records in a relaxing space." That is why, no matter when you visit, you are always welcomed by a gentle atmosphere and gentle music.

Please enjoy meads with a strong effervescence or seasonal ingredients as an aperitif, dry and crisp meads with your meal, and sweeter meads paired with dessert or as a digestif.

Does mead have an expiration date?

There is no expiration date, but we recommend consuming it within one year.

*For products that are carbonated, please seal the bottle and store it in the refrigerator; it will remain delicious for one week.

How should I store this?

Wine glasses (especially those for white wine) or small cocktail glasses are suitable.
