39th Edition: [Kusou Shunsai Raijin Ken'o Store] × Junmai Ginjo made with our own cultivated rice "Gohyakumangoku" <Freshly pressed undiluted sake> & Roasted sake
December has arrived, and there's only one month left in the year. Lately, I've been feeling like the years are passing by faster and faster as I get older.
At the Yoshinogawa brewery, as the year draws to a close, sake brewing is in full swing. Rice is steamed every day, filling the brewery with delicious steam. The cold, snowy season will soon arrive in the plains of Nagaoka where the brewery is located. However, this harsh climate is one of the essential elements for sake brewing. Sake brewing is said to depend on "1. Rice, 2. Water, 3. Climate, and 4. People," and Nagaoka has all four of these elements, which is why we can produce such delicious sake! This time, we will introduce dishes that pair well with such delicious sake!
The final "Tipsy Onedish" of the year will be held in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture."Kusou Shunsai Raijin Ken'o Store"I visited Mr./Ms. [Name] and they introduced me to a kamameshi-style mixed rice dish that pairs well with Yoshinogawa sake!
As many of you may know, Tsubame City in Niigata Prefecture is a town where the production of Western-style tableware is thriving. During its heyday in the Showa era, kamameshi (rice cooked in a pot) was expensive and not something ordinary people could afford. However, restaurant owners in the city worked to popularize kamameshi so that it could be enjoyed by many, and as a result, the number of restaurants serving it expanded.
Because of this connection, Raijin opened a home delivery kamameshi specialty shop in August of this year.Yukariya Ken-o Store」They have opened a new shop. They use seasonal ingredients and Koshihikari rice from Niigata Prefecture, add dashi stock from "Yasumaru Dashi," cook it in an authentic iron pot, and deliver it to you as is!
This time, we'll be using that recipe to show you how to make seasoned rice using roasted sake!
And the sake to accompany the meal is the one that was just released from the brewery at the end of last month.Yoshinogawa's own cultivated rice "Gohyakumangoku" Junmai Ginjo <Freshly pressed undiluted sake>This product is a Junmai Ginjo sake that Yoshinogawa has handled from rice cultivation to sake brewing. It uses 100% "Gohyakumangoku" rice carefully cultivated in the rice paddies of the Nagaoka area, and is pasteurized only once during bottling.
This is an undiluted sake that offers a fresh, fruity aroma and a rich, savory flavor derived from rice. It is best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature!
And this time, that isYoshinogawa's own cultivated rice "Gohyakumangoku" Junmai Ginjo <Freshly pressed undiluted sake>In accordance with '',"Gomoku Kamameshi-style mixed rice dish using Yoshinogawa's roasted sake"をThey made it for me!
Okay, let's get started with this easy recipe: just mix, add, and cook!
