A Must-Visit Lakeside Café This Summer This cozy A Must-Visit Lakeside Café This Summer
This cozy café opened just last year on the shores of Lake Aoki. It serves delicious meals and drinks made with fresh, local ingredients.
Lake Aoki is fed not only by snowmelt from rivers but also by spring water that filters up from deep within the mountains. The result? Incredibly clear water—so transparent you can see the lakebed from the café. @ao_lakeside_cafe

Sudachi soba has become something of a summer spec Sudachi soba has become something of a summer specialty. Sudachi is a citrus fruit native to Japan. Its sharp acidity and refreshing fragrance make it popular in Japanese cuisine, especially summer dishes. I don’t remember seeing it in the past, but these days, lots of soba shops nearby seem to have it on their menu. Each soba restaurant puts its own creative twist on sudachi soba to bring out the best in their handmade noodles. This is something you need to live with summer heat. #japanesegroumet #soba #sudachi #summerdish #nagano #naganogourmet

Back when I lived in Canada, every Japanese restau Back when I lived in Canada, every Japanese restaurant served sake warm. At the time, it seemed that sake was only meant to be enjoyed hot, and only premium sake was considered worthy of being served chilled. But that’s not true at all!
Sake is a drink meant to be savored through its flavor transformations at different temperatures. You can choose to enjoy it warm or chilled depending on the season, the mood, or your personal preference.
That said, it’s true that certain types of Sake are better suited for specific temperatures. By understanding these characteristics and pairing the right type of Sake with the appropriate temperature, you can fully appreciate its depth and value.

When choosing Japanese Sake, it’s helpful to und When choosing Japanese Sake, it’s helpful to understand the labels. 
In particular, knowing about the different types of Junmaishu, which is currently trending, can help you find the perfect flavor. Junmaishu refers to Sake made purely from rice, koji mold, and water, without any added alcohol. It offers the natural richness, Umami, and flavor of rice.
There are different types of Junmaishu, but starting with these three basics will make it much easier to choose whether you’re at a restaurant or a Sake shop. Some are best enjoyed chilled, while others are better warm. 

Those details in another post, so be sure to check it out!

How to make “Miso-Flavored Grilled Chicken” pa How to make “Miso-Flavored Grilled Chicken” paired with Kurosawa Sake Brewery Izutsucho Kimoto Junmai Funa-no-Sato. The preparation is almost the same as making meatballs. It’s interesting how using different ingredients turns it into a Japanese-style dish. Wrapping the chicken in Shiso leaves and cooking it slowly results in tender, juicy texture. Grilling it just before eating pairs perfectly with Sake, so be sure to cook it right before serving.

Dishes to pair with Kurosawa Sake Brewery Izutsuch Dishes to pair with Kurosawa Sake Brewery Izutsucho Kimoto Junmai Funa-no-Sato

This Sake can be enjoyed with a wide range of dishes, and I’ve prepared three perfect pairings: “Marinated Tuna with Sanshou Soy Sauce,” “Miso-Flavored Grilled Chicken,” and “Butter Soy Sauce Edamame.” Sansho, a Japanese spice, is a summer staple. I use Sanshou berries harvested from the garden, marinated in soy sauce or oil, to create a refreshing seasonal condiment. The “Miso-Flavored Grilled Chicken” combines the rich Umami of Miso with the acidity and sweetness of the Sake, making it a must-try dish. “Butter Soy Sauce Edamame” elevates the usual salted edamame to a richly flavored side dish that pairs wonderfully with light and refreshing foods.

Mix soy sauce and olive oil well, and generously use Parmesan cheese. Adding some bonito flakes is also recommended.

Cut the marlin into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Season simply with salt and ginger. Mix flour and cornstarch thoroughly for the coating, and deep fry the pieces in oil at 180°C until crispy. Don’t forget to sprinkle sansho on the freshly fried marlin!

What I love is the matching of a bit of bitterness What I love is the matching of a bit of bitterness and sake with full of refreshing flavor. The salad of watercress and pork shabu-shabu, paired with Masumi's summer limited edition 'Junmai Ginjo Suzumi Sake,' highlights the freshness of the watercress and the tenderness of the pork, making for a delightful summer dinner. It's important to gently simmer the pork in hot water with salt and cooking sake over low heat. Let the pork cool naturally without using cold water; this keeps it tender and at the perfect temperature for the salad. The simple seasoning pairs beautifully with the crisp and refreshing summer sake.

For a dinner paired with Masumi’s summer-exclusi For a dinner paired with Masumi’s summer-exclusive “Junmai Ginjo Suzumisake,” I recommend light yet flavorful dishes that capture the essence of summer.

My pairing includes “Watercress and Pork Shabu-shabu Salad,” “Deep Fried Swordfish with Sansho Pepper,” and “Zucchini Carpaccio.” The salad with a lemon, salt, and sesame oil dressing, topped with bonito flakes for an extra depth of flavor. The deep fried swordfish is seasoned with refreshing Sansho pepper, adding a spicy kick. The zucchini carpaccio features a soy-based dressing and Parmesan cheese, perfectly complementing the junmai sake.

Recipes will be shared in a separate post.

🍶My Sake List🍶 Introducing the summer-exclu 🍶My Sake List🍶

Introducing the summer-exclusive “Junmai Ginjo Suzumisake” from Masumi, a renowned sake from Suwa in Nagano Prefecture. This clear, refreshing Junmai Ginjo Nama Genshu is brewed using white koji, which imparts a distinctive acidity.

It offers a refreshing grapefruit-like and herbal coolness and fruity aromas reminiscent of melon and white peach. The sake is light on the palate, with a well-balanced interplay of crisp sweetness and clean acidity. It’s slightly dry with a refreshing finish. Best enjoyed well-chilled, this sake enhances the cooling effect, making it perfect for the summer season.

Its refreshing taste pairs well with any meal, but to truly savor the summer, I recommend enjoying it with dishes that highlight the season’s flavors, like zucchini and watercress, and flesh herbs. Dishes with a bit of spice would be a good match!

How to make Eggplant Parmesan for Daisekkei Secchu How to make Eggplant Parmesan for Daisekkei Secchusodachi Junmai Ginjo Namazake

I like to leave a bit of the breadcrumbs crispy, so the tomato sauce is not watery. This results in a rich yet refreshing taste with a crispy texture from the breadcrumbs and baked cheese, which pairs well with the rich and fruity aroma of this sake.
