The 2025 Umayasu Grand Prize.

2/14

It is Valentine’s Day.

 

I cooked Temaki-sushi.

 

 

Meji-Maguro, Aji, Hotaru-Ika, Hirame, Kurodai, Amaebi, Salmon-Trout, Tuna-mayo, Cucumber

 

Tonight’s Temaki-sushi was exceptionally delicious.

In particular, the Meji-Maguro was much tastier than some farmed Hon-Maguro.

 

 

 

Today’s Wine

 

 

Marquis de Beau Rond Orange Wine 2024 1,380 yen

I drink Marquis de Bolan’s orange wine for the first time in a while.

It is a blend of 92% Sauvignon Blanc and 8% Gewurztraminer.

I felt the elegant aroma that clearly feels Gewurz, the fine fruits taste, the beautiful acidity, and the slight astringency,which are the accent of it.

It’s also perfect for today’s Temaki-sushi.

 

 

It’s a very late story, but in the Real Wine Guide No. 92, this orange wine won the 2025 Umayasu Grand Prize.

 

 

Thank you very much.
