I made Mediterranean-style Chirashi Sushi, which is my standard summer dish.
Plenty of basil and pine nuts are mixed with vinegared rice.
Top with sashimi marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice, tomatoes, and cress.
It’s easy, but it’s a very nice!
1st La Croix Gratiot Rose 2022 1,650 yen
It is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah organically grown in the estate vineyards on the Mediterranean coast in Languedoc.
I felt a firm structure, red fruit flavor and mineral feeling with plenty of clean acid.
It is a truly pure and elegant rosé wine.
With a connection to the Mediterranean, today’s chirashi sushi was perfect.
2nd Marquis de Beau Rond Syrah 2021 980 yen
With a connection to the Mediterranean, the red was also Languedoc Syrah.
It is a solid, full-bodied wine.
How about summer sushi? You may think that, but it’s okay if you put plenty of ice in the glass.
The sweet fruit flavor of Syrah tightens and the ice melts, giving the wine a smooth mouthfeel.
It is a way to enjoy pure and pure Marquis de Beau Rond.
Red wine with plenty of ice. Please try once.
