Dec. 28
No Wine Day
Dec. 29
There are only three days left in this year.
Today’s dinner is Kiritampo-Nabe.
In the morning, as usual, I boiled down the chicken stock and chicken skin and took the soup.
Seri is indispensable for Kiritampo, but I was surprised at how expensive it was at the supermarket. I went back and forth in front of the shelf for a while, but in the end, no! I closed my eyes and took the plunge and bought it.
It’s more expensive than a pack of chicken, but when it comes to the pot, it doesn’t have much of a presence.
But after all, Kiritampo-Nabe is delicious.
1st Chase the Grape Field Blend 2022 2,800 yen
I chose a Japan wine to match Kiritampo.
It is made by Koshu, Muscat Bailey-A and a small amount of Chardonnay from Yamanashi.
It has a pale pink color and smooth mouthfeel.
The acid with a sweet scent with a firm presence is a good feeling.
As the maturation progressed, the body became firmer, I think.
2nd Relax Wine Beaujolais Nouveau 2023
This is the last one of last year’s Nouveau.
I had already decided that tonight’s Kiritambo would be paired with last year’s Nouveau.
The condensed, charming red acid went well with the chicken broth.
Surprisingly, Kiritampo and Beaujolais Nouveau go very well together.
Next time, let’s put this year’s Nouveau together.
