Christmas is a No Wine Day.

We have just a few more days this year.

Madai Rakkyo Carpaccio
This is an NHK Asaichi recipe.
The Madai carpaccio toppings have been varied in the past.
Oranges, grapefruits, kiwis, strawberries, La France, etc.
But I think this rakkyo is the most delicious.
Rakkyo, the strongest!
Beef Kinpira-Gobo
This is also NHK Asaichi recipe in this morning.
I had some beef left in the fridge, so I made it and it was incredibly delicious!
Yakitori
Tarracos Spaghetti
It was great.
1st Alaldica Cortese 2022 1,120 yen
It is a sustainable wine from Piedmont, Italy.
I felt fresh fruits, nice acidity and comfortable minerals.
I really like this pure taste.
It was perfect for Madai Rakkyo Carpaccio.
2nd Bellecourt Pinot Noir 2021 1,330 yen
