New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc Wine & Korean Food Mul-hoe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These days, Korea\u2019s summer heat feels even more relentless than the notorious humidity of Singapore. When the sweltering weather saps your energy and appetite, mulhoe\u2014a chilled Korean seafood soup\u2014is the perfect pick-me-up. I recently had a refreshing mulhoe lunch break at the office, thanks to a pop-up by the famous Sokcho-based restaurant Bongpo Meogurijip, set up at a nearby department store. It turned into a mini team lunch, and of course, we couldn\u2019t skip the wine pairing.
I did consider Champagne for a moment, but the seasoning in mulhoe tends to overpower delicate sparkling wines. Instead, I went with a more forgiving and versatile option\u2014Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their mulhoe set comes with a container of raw fish and assorted seafood, an icy cold broth, and a separate packet of noodles. Just pour the broth into the bowl, add the noodles, and you’re ready to go. Fortunately, the seasoning isn’t too overpowering\u2014spicy but not overwhelming, and tangy in a way that whets the appetite. The seafood mix includes abalone, sea pineapple, squid, whelk, sea urchin roe, and seaweed\u2014each bringing a taste of the ocean that pairs beautifully with the zesty freshness of Sauvignon Blanc.
For me, abalone sashimi and Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a classic combo. I\u2019ll never forget a night years ago when, after a wine bar gathering, I stepped out to catch a cab and spotted a street vendor selling abalone sashimi. I dashed back into the bar, grabbed a bottle of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, and enjoyed an impromptu feast on the sidewalk. That spontaneous pairing left such a vivid impression\u2014it\u2019s proof that this duo is virtually failproof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we had Music Bay Sauvignon Blanc with our mulhoe. Since we were dealing with spicy gochujang-based flavors, I avoided anything too delicate or pricey. I looked for a Sauvignon Blanc that was particularly juicy and easy-drinking\u2014and this one hit the mark. It\u2019s bright, fruity, and refreshing without the rough edges that sometimes appear in budget-friendly bottles. You could almost mistake it for juice\u2014perfect for a casual lunch.
When paired with mulhoe, the wine\u2019s acidity harmonizes beautifully with the dish\u2019s tart broth. Its crisp texture mirrors the crunch of fresh veggies, and the ocean notes of the seafood are echoed by the wine\u2019s signature aromatics. Add in the cozy setting of an air-conditioned room and the fleeting midday escape, and it almost felt like a mini summer retreat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
