How do you serve Oscietra caviar and sushi? WIth Champagne, of course. For one special night, downtown Miami hotspot Zuma served Black River Caviar paired with Champagne Taittinger and Zuma’s famous sushi selections. While it’s a bit of an unexpected combo, it works very, very well.

Black River Caviar hails from the beautiful country of Uruguay, breeding sturgeons for the past twenty years to produce the highest quality of caviar, indulging palettes all over the world. The company expertly utilizes innovative breeding methods to ensure that the fish grow in a natural way while at the same time maintaining a strong respect the environment. Black River Caviar offers both Oscietra and Siberian varieties which pair perfectly with the Taittinger selections.
Zuma served Black River Caviar Siberian variety with Brut La Française Taittinger champagne, with the caviar arriving on a beautiful display with the caviar delicately laid above leaves and ice cubes to keep it fresh. We do recommend trying this at home.

The champagne enhanced the flavors of the impeccable Japanese cuisine that followed with an elaborate six-course spread of decadent seafood selections and favorites of the famed restaurant including fresh sushi and sashimi, king crab, roasted lobster, truffle-infused mushroom rice hot pot, wagyu ribeye and more, plus the all-famous Zuma dessert platter. The transition from the smooth caviar to the bubbly champagne and then the deliciously paired sushi was the perfect combination.
