[Conzelmann] Cabernet Sauvignon
It has a slightly sweet and relatively light flavor, so it goes well with a Japanese-style seasoned steak.
It is also recommended for gyudon (beef bowl). The sweet gyudon sauce blends well with the wine's well-balanced bitterness and acidity.

[Life] Back Vintage Cabernet Sauvignon
This premium red wine won a gold medal at the 2024 Ontario Wine Awards. It is so ripe that you would never guess it is a wine from a cool climate, and the fruit flavor fills your mouth. It goes well with simmered beef accented with spicy ginger.
The refined sweetness and umami of the beef blend beautifully with the spicy-scented wine, enhancing the flavors of each other.
