I paid a visit to Jindaiji Temple in Chofu.

May. 5

No Wine Day

 

 

May. 6

The last day of GW.

 In the heavy rain, I paid a visit to Jindaiji Temple in Chofu.

 

 

The statue of the Secret Buddha and the Ganzan-Daishi of Jindaiji Temple is being specially opened to commemorate the completion of the “Great Repair of Reiwa” for the first time since the Edo period.

It was a great opportunity, so I decided to go there.

 

 

Thanks to the rain, we were able to worship the face without waiting.

Until yesterday, there was 40-50 minutes wait for the visit during GW, so I was lucky.

 

 

There were other good things that seemed to be a benefit after the visit.

I have always believed that the power of the Ganzan-Daishi is amazing.

I highly recommend it.

 

 

 

For lunch, I had soba noodles at the gate.

 

 

 

 

On the way back, I stocked up on ingredients and had Mediterranean-style sushi for dinner.

I bought sweet basil to mix with vinegared rice at the supermarket, but I can’t find it because I seem to have left it in my shopping cart.

 

 

I had no choice but to mix in the baby leaves that were in the refrigerator as a substitute.

The refreshing leaf flavor spreads, and the vinegared rice has a softer flavor than basil.

 

 

 

Mediterranean-style sushi, you can cook quickly in a short time, and it is very delicious.

It’s really helpful when I don’t have time.

 

 

 

Wine of the Day

 

 

King Rabbit Orange 2023 1,800 yen

It was a wine that was on the shelf of a bakery shop near my house.

My eyes were caught by the cute rabbit and I bought it.

There was no information on the label, and when I looked it up online, it was a wine from Languedoc.

The producer is LGI, the producer of the Relax Wine Tortues en Crique.

 

 

It is an orange wine made from a blend of 60% Viognier, 20% Grenache Blanc and 20% Muscat.

And this is very delicious.

I felt rich fruits flavor, clean acidity, pleasant astringency and minerality.

I like the pure taste without any disturbing tastes at all.

It’s a model wine of what orange wine should be.

This is really delicious.

It was an excellent match for the Mediterranean-style sushi.

Is this also a benefit of the Ganzan-Daishi?
