| if you don't like wine? |
| Beer. |
| Water with lemon |
|
cocktails (a nice restaurant can help you pair)
sparkling water champagne (goes with everything, do you really not like champagne?) |
| You shouldn't be partaking in a tasting menu if you don't like the wine parings. Are you 12? |
| With omakase, I usually do beer and sake. |

I went to a very extensive tasting menu while I was pregnant. I drank sparkling water. Took a few sips of my friends wine for a few courses, but mostly made do with the sparkling water.
It was that meal that my pregnancy aversion to truffles decided to show up, but that’s a whole other issue… |
It’s ok to not drink. |
I guess anyone who is pregnant or on medication just should give up then! To actually answer the question: I did several fancy tasting menus while pregnant. I drank sparkling water or mocktails. Though I did take some sips of wine from my husband to see how it went. Nicer restaurants should be able to accommodate you, no matter the reason. |
Why? Maybe op can't drink for medical reasons? |
Some people don't drink, not wine anyway. |
That is probably the better way with Japanese and Chinese food. |

Whatever you want.
While I think certain wines or flavors complement each other and can be really interesting, food and drinks are meant to taste good. Drink what you want! Ask for a recommendation if you want to. There are no rules you have to follow. |
Spoken like an alcoholic. |
Wine pairings make me drink too fast and too much. I don’t like them, and I love wine. I wish they had a half wine pairing, like every other course |
