Recommended wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Sake, Riesling

Sauvignon Blanc, Sake, and Riesling are great choices for Miso Soup. 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. The Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Vina Leyda Sauvignon Blanc

Showcasing expressive minerality, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc is marked by a powerful aromatic intensity and a wide aromatic spectrum, with herbal, citric and tropical notes. It is fresh on the palate, offering a crisp, tangy acidity and a juicy, citric finish. Pair with crab cakes, chicken tarragon or mussels.
