Baijiu and Food Pairing (白酒配餐)
Chinese banquet culture — ancient tradition of spirits with food
Chinese baijiu at the dining table follows specific pairing logic — not unlike wine pairing but with different flavour principles. The high alcohol (38–65% ABV) and intense aromatics of baijiu can either clash with or amplify food. The Chinese tradition is to serve baijiu in small cups, with frequent toasting (ganbei), drinking with food rather than between courses. The right baijiu amplifies the umami of a dish and cleans the palate from oil.
