Around the World with Leopard's Leap - August in Kyoto
On our journey across the globe, we've decided to spend August in Kyoto.
Once the capital of Japan, this city on the island of Honshu, is the place to experience the traditional Japan and its rich history. From authentic wooden shops and restaurants with sliding doors to the Imperial Palace, castles, temples, beautiful gardens and cherry blossom trees! (Read more)
Kyoto is famous for formal traditions such as kaiseki dining, consisting of multiple courses of precise dishes, but for our culinary inspiration, we've decided to keep it a little more casual and in tune with Leopard's Leap's relaxed attitude as well the rage that is Asian street food.
Flavours of Kyoto
When going East, there's only one person to invite on the culinary journey - Georgia East! Paired with some of the Leopard's Leap wines available in Japan, Georgia has created five delicious Japanese recipes that you will be able to make in your Western kitchen!
- Miso Mushroom Soup with Leopard's Leap Chardonnay.
- Crispy gyoza (dumplings) and Leopard's Leap Shiraz
- Sticky Miso-glazed pork belly roast with sesame steamed greens and Leopard's Leap Merlot
- Tamago Sando (Japanese egg sandwich) and Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir.
- Chicken Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) with wasabi mayo and Leopard's Leap Chenin Blanc
Kanpai!
So what do we say when raising a glass in August? Kanpai! To go with the sticky sauces and well balanced Japanese combinations of spicy, sour and sweet, we've selected the 2022 Leopard's Leap Shiraz as our wine for August. We are also celebrating National Shiraz Day on 21 August and will be doing a special Shiraz tasting with an Asian inspired bite in our Tasting Room during the Seven Days of Shiraz from 21 to 28 August. Order 6 bottles from our Tasting Room or leopardsleap.co.za and you pay 10% less.
If you are in Japan, you can find a selection of Leopard's Leap wines from our importer, Enoteca, just click here!
And then... in celebrating the spectacle that is the Olympic games, we will have some sports with Shiraz. Perhaps it will help us get fit in time for summer too! Join our #skippingwithshiraz challenge on social media and stand a chance to win 6 bottles of Shiraz every week of August!
