Jul. 8
At the recommendation of a doctor I knew, I was vaccinated against shingles.
I forgot to ask the doctor if I could drink alcohol today, so I looked it up on the Internet.
（１）”Avoid strenuous exercise and drinking alcohol.”
（２）”Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive drinking alcohol.”
There were two guidelines.
Naturally, I chose（２）.
Today’s Dish
Mediterranean-style Chirashi Sushi
Vinegared rice is prepared with apple vinegar, pine nuts, and sweet basil.
Raw yellowfin tuna, sea bream, sea bass, salmon, bonito, small shrimp, steamed scallops
I bought it at a local supermarket, and it was so good that it could be made into hand-rolled sushi.
Some of the ingredients were also served with sashimi.
The Mediterranean-style Chirashi Sushi is seasoned with olive oil, lemon and balsamic.
The sashimi served with soy sauce is also exceptional.
Wine of the Day
Araldica Piemonte Cortese 2023 1,250 yen
To go with the Mediterranean-style Chirashi Sushi, I opened this Italian white.
Piemonte doesn’t face the Mediterranean, but it’s not too far away.
I felt refreshing fruits flavor reminiscent of green apples, clean acidity and minerality.
It has the usual pure mouthfeel.
At the beginning of drinking, it is a light touch, but as I continue to drink, I felt a firm body.
It is a very good wine. Perfect for today’s sushi.
A bottle of wine is a moderate amount of drinking.
(Actually, I drank a little red wine.)
