Wine Pairings

Japanese Tofu Frittata
Pair it with: A veggie-friendly white

Although muscadet is a favourite pairing with seafood, it does a great job with this Japanese-influenced dish. A medley of citrus and crisp green apple fills the glass, with a solid backbone of acidity.

Our pick: Chateau du Cléray Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, France, $14.

Trend alert: Okonomiyaki
These giant savoury Japanese pancakes are a winning mash-up of leftovers.
