“Saké and Cheese Pairing” Austin, 2025

Tonight we attended a saké and cheese pairing event at Komé Sushi Kitchen, and it turned out to be such an eye-opening experience. I had no idea how well saké could complement different types of cheese! Each pairing brought out unique flavors and textures I wouldn’t have expected. I also realized how little I actually know about cheese, which has definitely sparked my curiosity. I’d love to dive deeper into it, so I’m thinking about signing up for a class or two at Antonelli’s sometime soon.

After the event, we decided to stick around for some sushi and other Japanese dishes. Everything we tried was fresh, beautifully prepared, and seriously delicious. A fun and flavorful night all around!

Sushi at home is so much fun! I especially enjoy hamachi and hotate, and there was plenty to go around tonight. I’m usually not a big fan of maguro, but it was surprisingly tasty this time. The salmon is always delicious, as usual. Honestly, I could eat sushi like this every night!

For Mother’s Day we had a couple of friends over to our house to eat temaki sushi. It’s so fun to make your own sushi hand-rolls, and of course it’s so delicious! In addition, Mariko made some karaage, and I made cocktails. A fun dinner!

We took our youngest son for sushi for his birthday dinner. It was so yummy! Sushi is definitely a favorite on the birthday circuit in this family. 😁
