No Wine Day
Aug. 22
Today’s dinner is Temaki-sushi.
I got a fresh bone-cut Hamo.
I quickly dipped it in hot and cold water.
Kihada-Maguro, Madai, Hamo, Squid, Salmon, Aji, Shrimp, Tuna-mayo, Cucumber
This Hamo was delicious.
Also, I often see Kihada-Maguro in the nearby sea at the fish market these days.
A large Kihada-Maguro with good freshness is much tastier than the Hon-Maguro from sea farm.
Temaki-sushi is the best after all.
Today’s Wine
Hamada Vineyard Chardonnay 2020 6,000 yen
This Chardonnay was grown in Hamada Vineyard’s estate vineyard in Mikasa, Hokkaido.
After 5 years of aging, the taste has become more and more polished.
I felt thick and deep fruits flavor, sharp acidity unique to Hokkaido Chardonnay, and outstanding minerality.
This still has the potential to mature, I think.
The combination of Temaki-sushi and fine wine makes me happy.
Thank you, Mr. Hamada.
