Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (Oregon, basaltic Jory soils on Dundee Hills, cool oceanic climate comparable to Burgundy) — cherry, raspberry, damp earth and sweet spices accompany the sweet-salty teriyaki sauce; fruity freshness holding caramelised mirin brown sugar, melted tannins respecting glazed salmon or chicken.
Off-dry Riesling
Off-dry Mosel Riesling (Kabinett or Spätlese on blue and grey slate of steep slopes) — white peach, acacia honey, lime and taut 8-9 g/L acidity embrace teriyaki in perfect mirror; 20-40g/L residual sugar aligning with teriyaki sugar, sharp Mosel acidity balancing soy salinity, mineral slate echoing toasted sesame.
Gamay
Light, crunchy Gamay, served cool, refreshes the palate after teriyaki's intense flavors.
