Beaujolais
Beaujolais (Gamay on pink granite of Pierres Dorées), served cool at 13°C, cuts through tonkatsu's crispy panko coating; strawberry and cherry de-greasing 5mm of 170°C-fried Japanese breadcrumbs, discreet tannins respecting tender pork loin, acidity holding the apple-tomato Bull-Dog tonkatsu sauce.
Riesling
Alsatian Riesling (dry, on granite or marl-limestone) — taut lime, peach, white flowers and minerality accompany modern-style tonkatsu; chiseled acidity slicing breading fat, lime de-greasing sweet-tangy tonkatsu sauce, purity respecting finely shredded kyabetsu cabbage with sesame seeds.
Champagne Brut
Champagne, with its bubbles and acidity, is a refreshing luxury with fried tonkatsu.
