Wondering what to drink and eat on Super Bowl Sunday? Let us help you out — the Kore Asian Media staff conducted a taste test of best Asian beer and snack pairings so you don’t have to!
We tested, and voted on, five beers from Japan, South Korea, China and Thailand with wasabi rice snacks, small crab snacks (kanikko) and dried fish bites.
The pairing winner for wasabi snacks:
Lucky Buddha
(Justin Pagtalunan)
Singha
(Justin Pagtalunan)
Both Lucky Buddha and Singha are light enough that they don’t drown out the deliciously addicting kick of the wasabi snacks.
For the Kanikko:
Orion
(Justin Pagtalunan)
Sapporo
(Justin Pagtalunan)
These crisp, clean Japanese beers go well with the crabs, which are salty and as crunchy as they look.
And for the sweeter fish snacks:
Hite
(Justin Pagtalunan)
Koreans love dried fish, and Hite is a natural companion.
