Kanpai at the delicious sake aperitif!
MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku - Fluffy Pumpkin Focaccia with a kanpai!
He loves food, he loves cooking and he enjoys sake.
Meikel - Graphic Designer, DJ and Sake Addict - tries out, combines and discovers.
This time: Still warm from the oven.... A fluffy focaccia topped with an autumnal mix of pumpkin purée, pumpkin cubes, dried cranberries and some crème fraîche with herbs. Fresh rosemary - that's it.
Aside: The full-bodied and smooth Asahimai Junmai. A Junmai made from organic rice, velvety, subtly aromatic, and with its sweet, yeasty note, the perfect umami companion to Meikel's autumnal pumpkin pastry.
Culinary conclusion: 'Autumn, it's time for the pumpkin!' laughs Meikel. 'Surely this is the opportunity to serve up my beloved focaccia for the aperitif. Soft, tart - and in my version also sweet, fresh & fruity - it goes just perfectly with one of my favourites from Marc's sake range: the Asahimai. Honestly, this sake goes actually always. But the velvety in the glass in combination with the fluffy on the palate - such aperitifs should happen more often.'
As simple. As good. MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku.
