What wine pairs with takoyaki?

Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for takoyaki. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.

Cava Brut

sparkling · Macabeu · Penedès · Espagne — 7–9°C

Cava's lively bubbles pierce the molten takoyaki batter and clean up the Japanese mayo and sweet takoyaki sauce, while its toasty note answers the dancing bonito flakes.

Vinho Verde

white · Loureiro · Minho · Portugal — 8–10°C

Light, slightly spritzy and briny, Vinho Verde embraces the tender octopus and dashi-rich batter, and its citrus freshness balances the umami of the sauce and katsuobushi.

Bière japonaise / Saké Sparkling

other · Riz · Osaka · Japon — 6–8°C

Sparkling sake, traditional in Osaka street stalls, acts as a light, thirst-quenching wine that accompanies piping-hot takoyaki straight from the mold without denaturing their coastal aromatics.
