I thought it was boring because all the dishes were always the same, so I finished work early and tried to cook a new recipe today.
Edamame
Yanaka Ginger
Raw Scallops with Avocado
Steamed Clams and Cabbage
Scallop au Gratin
The main thing is mackerel.
Get a large fresh mackerel from off the coast of Sanriku.
It was grilled with herbs.
I filled their stomachs with rosemary and peppermint.
I drizzled it with garlic and olive oil and baked it in the oven at 200 degrees.
Well done.
It went well with the wine.
1st Haramo Wine Haramo Blanc 2021 1,450 yen
The day before yesterday, I drank Koshu for the first time in a long time, and it was delicious, so I opened Koshu again.
It is a basic wine of Katsunuma’s long-established Haramo Wine.
It has a fresh fruit flavor, a firm body, and a very good balance of acidity and minerality.
This one is the cheapest wine of the winery.
There is no doubt that we are making wine with integrity.
Koshu wine in Yamanashi is also over 2,000 yen these days, so this cost performance is outstanding.
It perfectly complemented today’s dish that I worked so hard to make.
2本目 hirosaki craft wine Primo Passo Yama-So 2023 Sample Tasting
It is a sample wine from a small winery at the foot of Mt. Iwaki in Aomori.
It is a red wine made from 100% Yama Sauvignon from Aomori Prefecture.
Yama Sauvignon, commonly known as Yama-So, is a cross between mountain grape and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Grape varieties usually have strong acids and tannins, as well as a bluish tinge, but this wine has none of them.
I felt gentle fruits flavor, mild acid and astringency, smooth texture.
It’s delicious, I was a little surprised.
When I asked, I was told that it was a piggery made from late-ripened grapes with a short maceration period of 7 days and a gentle process.
Well, it’s hard to do, hirosaki craft wine.
