Aug. 31
Today is the first birthday of my grandson Jin-kun, who lives in Osaka.
I watched the celebratory of “Issho-mochi” by connecting on LINE.
Happy birthday.
Grow up quickly and healthily.
Today’s dish
Edamame
Leaf Ginger
Cold Tofu
Maguro Sashimi
Marinated Tuna Salad
Sauteed Pork and Apples
I made too much today.
The sauteed pork was thawed and warmed up by defrosting what I had made before and frozen, but it was okay and delicious.
Today’s Wine
Chase the Grape Jin 2024 3,600 yen
It is an orange wine named after my grandson.
The grapes harvested in Yamanashi are transported to Nara by a car driven by my son and produced at Kitni Wine.
It is made from mainly Koshu, and blended with Siegerrebe, Chardonnay, Aligote, and Müller Turgal.
It is well-balanced with a hint of astringency, thick fruits, and sweet flavors derived from Siegerrebe.
I opened it to coincide with my grandson’s birthday, and it went very well with today’s sauteed pork.
