Junmai Daiginjo 50 PAIR is a Junmai Daiginjo sake brewed with sake rice grown in Niigata Prefecture.
It has a refreshing and mild ginjo aroma, and a flavor that brings out the deliciousness of rice.
This sake was selected for the largest sake competition in Japan, which was held recently.
In the Premium Daiginjo category of the "Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Awards 2021"
We have won a gold medal! Please enjoy it in a wine glass.
This time we used fresh sea bream and Yoshinogawa roasted sake.
This is "Sea bream and round eggplant steamed in Yoshinogawa-style sake"!
Please make this for your wife on Mother's Day with your children.

===============================
★Ingredients★ (for 2 people)
Red sea bream: 50g
・Round eggplant: 1/3 piece
・Pickled plum: 1/2 piece
・Bonito stock: appropriate amount (commercially available granulated stock can also be used)
Yoshinogawa roasted sake: appropriate amount

・Sudachi: 2 slices (round)
・Kelp: about 5cm
★Recipe★
1. Soak the sea bream in bonito broth and Yoshinogawa roasted sake. (Soak for about 30 minutes.)
2 parts bonito broth to 1 part Yoshinogawa roasted sake
Point: It removes the flavor of roasted sake and the fishy smell.
2. Cut the round eggplant.
Point: Cut the round eggplant into thirds, and since it will be fried later, cut the skin so that it is not a concern.
Cut it into pieces, and make a cut in the middle about halfway through with a knife to make it easier to eat.Please put it in.
This is a great place to let your kids make cuts with a fork!
3. Deep-fry the round eggplants in oil.
4. Place the sea bream soaked in roasted sake on top of the round eggplant. Steam for about 10 minutes.
5. Prepare the sauce for the dish.
The sauce is made with 4 parts bonito broth and 1 part Yoshinogawa roasted sake.
Add half a pickled plum and bring to a boil, then add the cornstarch mixture and it's done.
6. Top with mitsuba and sudachi and it's done!
◆◆ What is Irizake? ◆◆
Before soy sauce became widespread, it was made by simmering sake with pickled plums and bonito flakes.All-purpose seasoningThat's it.
The perfect balance of umami from the broth enhances the flavor of the ingredients, elevating the dish to the next level.
Also great for reducing salt intake.
