Top 10 pairings
Shine Muscat is a large, green-gold, seedless table grape bred in Japan, prized for an intense muscat perfume carried in a notably crisp, firm berry with a thin edible skin and no slip-skin. Marketed as a premium fruit — often sold by the bunch in protective foam sleeves at luxury prices — it has become one of Asia's most sought-after grapes and the flagship of a new wave of crunchy, aromatic dessert grapes.
