Jul. 18
No Wine Day
Jul. 19
I have plans to go on a one-day business trip to Osaka next Tuesday and Fukushima on Wednesday.
I was extremely busy preparing for that today.
Today’s dish
Yonaka-Shoga
Sashimi of Maguro, Mebaru, Isaki, and sardines
Well, today is the day of the Doyo-Ushinohi, and I make Eel cooked rice.
At this time of year, supermarket eels are expensive, so I use domestic eels that I bought last month and frozen.
Rinse off the original sauce under running water.
Once the eel is steamed in white wine, it is boiled down in a homemade sauce.
(For homemade sauce, add 60ml of red wine, 20ml of mirin, 20ml of soy sauce, balsamic, honey, and sugar.)
Rice is cooked with “broth, 40ml of homemade sauce, and chopped ginger”.
Bite-sized pieces of eel are placed on top of rice, steamed in a rice cooker, and served.
It’s a relatively simple dish, but it also has a luxurious feel and is very delicious.
Today’s Wine
Belles du Sud Pinot Noir 2023 1,080 yen
Today, I paired eel rice with Languedoc Pinot Noir.
Like the Chardonnay the other day, I bought a lot of defective back labels.
I felt firm fruits flavor, refreshing acidity and gentle minerality.
A smooth and pure mouthfeel.
I drank it chilled.
It went well with eel.
