Bluefin tuna and sea bream sashimi with soy-lemon sauce
Recipe 01

Bluefin tuna and sea bream sashimi with soy-lemon sauce

Time · Prep 25 min · Cook 0 min · serves 4

Ingredients

  • 200 g sashimi-grade bluefin tuna
  • 200 g sashimi-grade sea bream fillet
  • 4 tbsp light Japanese soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small piece of fresh ginger
  • A few chives

Method

  1. Place the fish in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up slightly, then slice into even 3–4 mm strips using a sharp knife.
  2. Arrange the sashimi attractively on chilled plates, alternating tuna and sea bream.
  3. Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a small bowl; finely grate the ginger and stir into the sauce.
  4. Drizzle the sauce very lightly over the sashimi just before serving and scatter with finely snipped chives.

Why the pairing works. The raw texture of the tuna and sea bream, lifted by controlled acidity and precise seasoning, aligns with the tension and aromatic clarity of a Bouzy Grand Cru brut nature.

Salmon and scallop sashimi with homemade ponzu
Recipe 02

Salmon and scallop sashimi with homemade ponzu

Time · Prep 30 min · Cook 0 min · serves 4

Ingredients

  • 200 g sashimi-grade certified salmon
  • 6 very fresh scallops, roe removed
  • 3 tbsp light Japanese soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp mirin (or 1 tsp sugar)
  • 1 spring onion

Method

  1. Slice the salmon into thin, even pieces; slice the scallops into thin horizontal rounds.
  2. Arrange the sashimi in a fan on a large chilled platter.
  3. Make the ponzu: whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, orange juice, and mirin (or sugar) until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Finely slice the spring onion and scatter over the sashimi, then drizzle with a little ponzu just before serving, offering the rest on the side.

Why the pairing works. The rich softness of the salmon and the delicacy of the scallops are balanced by the ponzu and find an echo in the cutting freshness and structure of a Bouzy Grand Cru brut nature.
