Jan. 24
I was very busy today, too.
Today’s dish was easy to make and very tasty “Unagi Takikomi Gohan”, an eel-cooked rice.
The eel sauce was filled with red wine.
Appetizer was Hirame Sashimi from Aomori.
Very delicious, too!
1st Turckheim Pinot Blanc 2020 1,780 yen
I felt a thick fruits flavor, a gentle yet strong acidity, and a strong minerality.
All of Turckheim’s wines are pure and full of natural fruits flavors.
Mr. Natsume, the owner of Kamakura Winery, also said that he is a fan of Turckheim.
It is a good wine.
2nd Tortues en Crique Syrah Mourvedre 2020 1,180 yen
It is made from the leading grape varieties of the South France, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
I felt pleasant spicy aroma and mellow fruit taste reminiscent of black cherry.
Yet it has a smooth and comfortable mouthfeel.
This red is also delicious.
I also used this wine for the sauce of Unagi Takikomi Gohan.
