Snow-aged JunmaiThis pure rice sake was brewed this winter using newly harvested rice from Niigata Prefecture, stored in the brewery's snow cellar, and is now being delivered to you as a winter gift from snowy Niigata during this time of year when we can feel the arrival of early summer. This pure rice sake is characterized by its fresh aroma, the rich flavor of the rice, and its smooth texture.
And now, the person who will introduce the dish to us will be... Original Echigo Tavern Kappa YasubeiThis is a new store opened on April 4th by Yasubei, who already has two stores in Niigata City.
Assistant manager Shin Watanabe, who prepared the dishes for us, said, "I want our customers to be happy when they eat! I'm able to do a job that brings happiness to others!" He then introduced us to a special menu item using roasted sake and the restaurant's recommended dishes.
First up, a special menu item using roasted sake,Chicken sauté with roasted sake and green onionsFrom there. The recipe is here!!
★Ingredients★ (2 servings)
Chicken (thigh): 2 pieces
Roasted sake: 20cc
Ginger: 5g
• Egg (yolk): 1
Salt and pepper: a pinch
Potato starch: appropriate amount
<Broth>
Roasted sake: 100cc

★Recipe★
1. Add roasted sake, grated ginger, and egg yolk to the chicken and rub it in well.
2. After massaging the ingredients together, marinate in the refrigerator for one day to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Coat the chicken with potato starch. Add sesame oil to a frying pan, place the chicken skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes, then flip it over, cover with aluminum foil, and steam-fry for another 5 minutes.
4. While the chicken is steaming, prepare the broth. Add the roasted sake, mirin, and water, and heat over low heat. Add the thinly sliced green onions and bring to a boil.
5. Top with Japanese ginger, bell pepper, shiso leaves, and white sesame seeds, and it's done!
When you insert your chopsticks, the juicy meat juices dissolve into the broth, and when you put it in your mouth, you can enjoy the crispy texture of the skin, the deliciousness of the chicken, and the slightly sour aroma of plum.Snow-aged JunmaiOne sip and it creates an exquisite pairing, like emerging from a tunnel into a world of silver snow.
And one more item,Original Echigo Tavern Kappa YasubeiMr.'s popular menu「Tarekatsu」They made it for me.！
*The image shows three pieces of tarekatsu (pork cutlet with sauce).
Yasubei's tarekatsu uses homemade fresh breadcrumbs, and the restaurant's special sweet sauce soaks into the crispy fried coating, creating a gentle flavor. It's perfect with drinks! The mellow taste of snow-aged junmai sake also pairs very well with it! Please enjoy it at the restaurant.
