Snack Attack: Unconventional Sake High Pairings You Need to Try
We've all been there – it's late, you're hungry, and you're craving something that hits just right. At Sake High!, we believe our premium sake and sake cocktails deserve to be enjoyed with more than just traditional Japanese fare. So we embarked on a delicious journey to discover some unexpectedly perfect pairings that elevate both our drinks and your favorite snacks.
The Dumpling Diaries
Let's start with a pairing that makes perfect sense once you try it. Dumpling Daughter's handcrafted dumplings and baos alongside our classic Sake High! is a match made in heaven. The clean, smooth profile of our premium Junmai enhances the savory umami notes in each dumpling without overwhelming them.
The subtle sweetness of the dough creates a beautiful contrast with the dry finish of our sake, making this combo our go-to for hosting friends or a cozy night in.
Pop these bad boys in the steamer while you chill your sake and thank me later, there's something about that first sip after a perfect bite of chicken and cabbage dumpling that just hits different.
Afternoon Delight: Tea Sandwiches Get an Upgrade
Cucumber sandwiches have long been a staple of proper afternoon tea, but we're not exactly proper around here. Our Ceremonial Matcha Lemon sake cocktail transforms this dainty snack into something worth texting your friends about.
The bright citrus notes and authentic matcha in our ready-to-drink cans complement the refreshing crunch of cucumber sandwiches, creating what we call "the fancy-but-actually-super-easy pairing that makes me feel like I have my life together."
It's sophisticated without trying too hard – perfect for impromptu gatherings or those moments when you want to feel just a little bit fancy while binging your favorite show.
Late Night Champions: Nuggets + Ginger Pear
This might be our most controversial pairing, but don't knock it till you've tried it. Trader Joe's chicken nuggets paired with our Ginger Pear Hard Tea is the 1am combo you didn't know you needed.
The warming ginger notes and subtle pear sweetness cut through the richness of the nuggets, while the carbonation cleanses your palate between bites. It's the elite "drunchie" pairing that's become legendary among our team.
Just trust me on this one, the first time I tried this combo after a night out, I knew we were onto something special. Don't forget the ketchup though – that's essential to the whole experience.
Snack Aisle Heroes
Some pairings just make sense visually before you even taste them. The iconic green of our Matcha Lemon cans next to a box of Matcha Pocky creates an Instagram-worthy moment that tastes as good as it looks. Double the matcha means double the joy, with the sweet coating of the Pocky sticks playing nicely with the more sophisticated matcha notes in our sake cocktail.
For those with a sweet tooth, our White Peach Hard Tea alongside limited edition peach cream Oreos isn't just color-coordinated perfection – it's a dessert pairing that feels both indulgent and refreshing. The juicy peach flavor in our sake enhances the creamy filling while providing a nice contrast to the rich chocolate cookies.
And for the ultimate snack champion? Our classic Sake High with Turtle Chips is the combination we can't stop craving. There's something about the clean, refined sake that makes every crunchy, savory bite of these elite chips even more satisfying.
