Sudachi Lemon in White Sparkling Wine

Simple Cocktail: Frizzante and Sudachi Lemon


Sudachi is Japanese green lemon which is tiny and more zesty than lemon.  Usually it's used to make cocktails, ponzu soy sauce,  or simply squeeze the juice on Tempura or grilled fish.  It's tasty with grilled Shitake mushrooms.  Japanese people enjoy Matstake mushroom dishes with sudachi lemon.  The health benefits include vitamin C, calcium, potassium, and other minerals. 

Frizzante is a slightly sparkling Italian wine.

The aroma of the citrus makes Chardonnay wine very refreshing.   Avoid squeezing the juice directly into the wine unless you desire the sour taste in wine.
