When considering what goes best with tempura prawn handroll, we recommend a glass of Vinho Verde Rose, it truly complements the dish as it the carbonation will cut through heavier flavors of the batter.

Food with fresh flavors, like salmon nigiri, should be paired with a white wine like Pinot Grigio if you want the most to be brought out of the flavors of the dish.
