Four directions guided by a soft, viscous fruit character
KODAKARA La France is a fruit liqueur built on the fragrant aroma of Yamagata-grown La France pears, its soft, viscous fruit character supported by the roundness of a sake base. What follows is not a pairing the producer has presented officially, but a reading drawn from the aroma and taste recorded on this page.
Pear aroma is described as sharing a direction with roasted and nutty aromas, so pairings with smoke or almonds can be read as an overlap of aroma. There is also a principle of matching the texture of a drink to a dish, a lens that applies to smooth, custard-like dishes.
