43rd Edition: [Mura Nagaoka Ekimae Store] x Junmai Daiginjo Usunigori & Irizake

Congratulations to everyone starting a new chapter in their lives!

The snow on the premises of the storehouse has completely melted, and it's truly feeling like spring now.

The wild vegetables that have been waiting for the arrival of spring are now peeking out from under the snow! Fuki no tou (butterbur sprouts) and kogomi (fiddlehead ferns) will add vibrant green and a slightly bitter, sophisticated flavor to your table. We'd like to introduce some delicious Japanese sake that pairs perfectly with these wild vegetables!

 

 

So, let's go and visit some restaurants and bars in Niigata Prefecture to ask them to come up with some snacks that would pair well with Yoshinogawa sake.Tipsy OnedishのLet's start!!This timeIt is located in Nagaoka City."Mura Nagaoka Station Front Store"To Mr.Junmai Daiginjo Slightly cloudyThey prepared a dish that was perfect for it!

President Kazuki Murayama is also focusing on developing young talent and revitalizing the Nagaoka region, and he spoke about his future plans, saying, "I want young people to enjoy their work, even if it means making lots of mistakes."Taichi Kobayashi, who was in charge of the cooking this time, said that he enjoys his job because he can propose dishes he wants to offer to the president, and once approved, he can serve them to customers as soon as possible.

2. Once the roasted sake has been absorbed, coat the chicken evenly with potato starch.

    

 

3. Fry in hot oil at 180 degrees Celsius for about 5 minutes, then drain off any excess oil.

  

 

4. Garnish with lemon and it's done!

The crisp, fresh taste of Junmai Daiginjo Usunigori sake pairs perfectly with the juicy fried chicken marinated in roasted sake!

 

And one more item,Mura Nagaoka Station Front StoreRecommended by [Name]「Deep-fried skewers of herring roe on kelp」They made it for me.!

 

We soak the herring roe in salt for a full day, then season it with soy sauce, sake, and mirin before deep-frying. The tartar sauce and bonito flakes add a delicious accent, and you can enjoy the crispy texture and popping sensation. This also pairs well with the soft umami of Junmai Daiginjo Usunigori sake! Please come and enjoy this carefully prepared kushikatsu at our restaurant.
