Watermelon Cooking

Aug. 9

Today’s hot and humid weather is extraordinary.

Humidity, I hate it!

 

I was gifted a large watermelon from Nagano.

I couldn’t eat it all, so I used it for cooking.

 

 

Bonito Tataki-Style Carpaccio topped with Watermelon

 

 

Watermelon Caprese

 

 

I tried using watermelon instead of tomatoes, and this is delicious.

 

 

The main dish is lasagna

 

 

Lasagna is delicious!

 

 

 

1st Turckheim Riesling 2021 1,950 yen

I cooled this Alsace Riesling to near ice temperature.

The transparency is outstanding and it is very delicious.

Oh, really delicious.

 

 

2nd Turckheim Pinot Noir 2108  2,050 yen

I also drank this Pinot Noir chilled.

I felt charming red fruit taste and clean acid spread in the mouth.

I think this type of cool Pinot Noir tastes better without ice.

Would Burgundy Pinot Noir more than double the price?

This is recommended.
