MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku - Festive nut ham with sake!
Meikel - Graphic Designer, DJ and Sake Addict - tries out, combines and discovers.
This time: A hearty, juicy nut ham, first boiled in water, then baked in the oven until crispy and finished with a sweet glaze of forest honey, rosemary and apple juice. Served with potatoes and celery puree, accompanied by a sweet red cabbage cooked with apples and cranberries - that's it.
Aside: The Kiku Masamune Taru Sake, a harmonious Junmai shortly ripened in barrels (Yoshino cedar). Tangy-fresh in the nose, with a dry, slightly resinous finish - the ideal companion.
Tip: For those who prefer it slightly sweet even in the glass, we recommend the medium-bodied and elegant Inatahime Junmai Daiginjo. An extremely complex sake, wonderfully fruity and with a smooth acidity and velvety finish.
Culinary conclusion: 'The aroma of a ham in winter is just great. Simple, familiar and hearty. The resinous, dry note of the Taru, really cool - and immediately reminds you of a fir forest. My version was more on the sweet side, so I couldn't resist trying the fruity sake with it too. A good decision!' smiles Meikel.
As simple. As good. MEIKEL'S KITCHEN by shizuku.
