Serving & Etiquette

Traditionally enjoyed neat, Yanghe Sky Blue is best served at room temperature or slightly warmed in a small ceramic pitcher. Pour into thimble-sized glasses and fill to the brim in formal settings as a sign of respect. Toast with “ganbei” (干杯) before drinking, finishing in one sip. Always toast your host first and hold your glass slightly lower to show humility. Baijiu is never drunk alone—it symbolises unity, respect, and shared celebration.

Food Pairings

The fruity and floral delicacy of Yanghe Sky Blue pairs best with light, refined dishes. Perfect with steamed fish, sashimi, or oysters, it also complements lightly stir-fried chicken, dumplings, and citrus salads. For a richer pairing, Peking duck or pork dishes highlight the baijiu’s floral notes, while fresh mango or guava-based dishes echo its tropical fruit character. Its purity makes it a versatile partner for both traditional Chinese cuisine and modern dining.

Perfect for Gifting or Sipping

Yanghe Sky Blue is more than a spirit—it is a modern Chinese icon of taste, culture, and elegance. Its smooth character and striking bottle design make it an ideal gift for milestones, corporate occasions, or collectors seeking an authentic light-aroma baijiu of distinction.
