A DELICIOUS FINISH
What should you serve with it?
Wine or beer
Dry Riesling or Japanese lager
The tuna is firm and savoury, sesame adds nuttiness and lime brings acidity. Dry Riesling handles the citrus and salt; clean Japanese lager stays crisp and discreet.
ALCOHOL-FREE OPTION
Yuzu or lime lemonade with soda water.
A delicious alternative that lets the food take centre stage.
