Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Sake, Riesling

Yakitori on the menu? Try pairing with Sauvignon Blanc, Sake, and Riesling. Saké is an obvious choice when it comes to Japanese food. If you want to stick to grape wine, though, you might opt for sauvignon blanc or riesling. One wine you could try is Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 39 dollars.

Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee

This is Iron Horse's most romantic bubbly. We describe it as dangerously, deliciously easy to drink, fruit forward, dry and elegant, with tiny bubbles and a remarkabley long finish.
