Delusional "Buckwheat Flour Cafe" 02 - Today's One-Plate Special: Thick Omelet Sandwich with Buckwheat Bread, etc. - A Hero Visits!

2025年2月28日 08:17

When the sun goes down, I shrink away, thinking, "Oh, it's cold," and wonder if spring is still a long way off.
February is almost over, too.
There are many warm, sunny days during the day, and the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms are two or three parts pink, and the mimosa flowers are also starting to open, a time to wait for spring.

The delusional "Buckwheat Flour Cafe" is open again today.

Dishes using domestic buckwheat flour, buckwheat groats, and seasonal ingredients along with coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages, all enjoyed in our imagination—welcome to a cafe where you can spend a relaxing time!

◇ Delusional "Buckwheat Flour Cafe" Today's One-Plate Special

Today's One-Plate Special

・Thick omelet sandwich made with 100% buckwheat flour bread

・Sautéed red-core radish, lotus root, and kale with anchovy garlic
・Purple carrot and Camembert sandwich
・Etuvée of red scallions
・Ginger-flavored, slightly sweet carrot potage

Today, I served the **one-plate special using 100% buckwheat flour bread**
on a Swedish antique plate.
| Gustavsbergs | Stockholm plate

Today, I baked it with coconut oil and coconut sugar, using a baker's percentage with reduced sugar and salt.
I like this ratio.
The buckwheat flour is "Dewa Kaori" from Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture.

◇ Today's Wine

At the delusional "Buckwheat Flour Cafe," we have prepared the orange wine that Shoko-san chose as a perfect pairing for buckwheat dishes.

**Please enjoy the orange wine in an Eiffel Tower wine glass.**

**Orange wine, which combines the astringency of red wine with the freshness of white wine,** allows you to enjoy
**pairings with a wide range of dishes**

“Wow, that’s an Ultraman T-shirt!”
“I have a surprise for you today.”

UNIQLO Ultraman Cosmos T-shirt
PESCE FOR ALL
Even with just one T-shirt, there are things you can do for peace.

“Huh!?”

“I want to support people who are working hard,” says the hero who appeared!

Wanting to support people who are working hard, the
formed Ultra Cheer Squad!
On the left is **Uru-san, on the right** is **Uru-tan.**
It’s not a super sharp, flashy cheer, but
a performance where everyone watching can relax,
feel their hearts gently warmed,
**and get a recharge of energy to try a little harder again.** That’s what it is.
(We have received permission from Mrs. M to post the images.)

**“Uru-tan,** **Uru-san,**
**may I ask for your autograph?”**
They really are popular, aren't they~
(Sorry for wearing the Ultraman Cosmos T-shirt)

“Thank you for your hard work. First, let’s have a Sakura Beer!”

◇ Buckwheat flour fried pork with fragrant spices, Sakura Beer

**Sakura Beer**
Early spring cherry blossoms, I feel the Taisho Roman era.
It’s not overly individualistic, and the bitterness lingers pleasantly in the aftertaste;
it’s a well-balanced,
refreshing beer to drink.
Because the can design is nice, right?

“It’s for tonight’s staff meal, but it goes well with beer.”

**Fragrant fried pork**
A very popular recipe in our home.
Instead of potato starch, I used **buckwheat flour 'Dewa Kaori'.**

Come on, let’s all have some wine!
Mrs. M Cheers to your great production!

For the first sip, **“essence of seeds”** came to mind, and I felt it had a unique impression.
Rather than a balanced harmony of grape juice, acidity, and sweetness, I felt it was a pleasant dry wine, different from red, white, or rosé.
As time passed little by little,
the individuality of the grapes awakened, with moderate acidity and sweetness,
and the next day I could clearly feel the subtle sweetness.
It was my first orange wine, and I grew to love it very much.

**Carrot potage with a hint of ginger and a touch of sweetness**
The ginger provides an accent.
Orange wine pairs well even with this slightly sweet potage.

**Thick-baked omelet sandwich using 100% buckwheat bread**
The thick-baked omelet is seasoned with **sweet koji**, **salted koji**, **salt**, **white pepper**, and **plain yogurt**.
Spread **fermented butter** on the bread, sandwich the thick-baked omelet, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it sit for a while.
A sandwich is a great buddy that will hold hands with orange wine and go for a pleasant stroll.

I imagined that vegetable-centered dishes would all go well with orange wine!
But they were an even better pairing than I imagined!

From the left: **Chicken ham scented with rosemary and sherry & baby leaf salad**
The chicken ham, seasoned and then microwaved with added fragrance, is wrapped in richness.
Combined with baby leaves tossed in Sinagro's EXV olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it makes for a stylish dish.
**Red-core radish, lotus root, and kale sautéed with anchovy garlic** is also great.
**Purple carrot and Camembert sandwich** features melted Camembert sandwiched between sautéed purple carrots!
As expected, the pairing with cheese is a much more intense, mature duo!
**Red onion étuvée** was the only one that didn't work.
(I should have tempered it with cumin seeds...)

◇ Early Spring Salad Galette

Aki Fujiya's serialized novel made me want to make this dish no matter what.
It's a dish I want to make now that the mimosa flowers have started to bloom: Early Spring Salad Galette!

**Buckwheat galette** is made with a ratio of
1 part buckwheat flour to 2 parts carbonated water.
75g buckwheat flour + 150cc Wilkinson carbonated water + **a tiny pinch of salt** will make
3 galettes with a diameter of 23cm.
(Please see the attached note at the end for instructions, etc.)

**A salad galette that lets you feel early spring with your eyes and then again with your taste buds.** Of course,
**orange wine** is a must! With orange wine, the boundary between food and drink is soft and blurred, so they quickly hold hands.
It puts a little effort into dishes with strong personalities, but it never oversteps.
I thought it was such an all-mighty wine.

Enjoy a delicious plate while immersing yourself in the world of Aki Fujiya's serialized novel, with its soft and refreshing colors.

This is a staff snack, but please, have some!

◇ 100% buckwheat bread with sweet koji and fermented red bean paste

The warm and fluffy **100% buckwheat bread** pairs perfectly with the buckwheat flavor, the
**sweet malt** and the **fermented red bean paste** for a gentle sweetness!
**Fermented butter** also tastes great on top. It was also perfect with orange wine, of course.

Oh! That's right,
a Valentine's dessert for Ulu-tan and Ulu-san, even though it's a bit late 💗

**Pecan nut brownie**
topped with **ASTRONOMY chocolate** inspired by Ulu-tan & Ulu-san.

The Ulu family's Valentine's Day was truly dramatic, wasn't it?

Oh my, look at the time! Fun times always pass by in the blink of an eye. Thank you so much for coming today.

This is a

souvenir for Taro-san and Baru-tan. I thought they might both like Japanese sweets.

**|Yokan| Buckwheat Daifuku**
filled with **salted |yokan|** inside.

And then, cookies for Ann-chan and |MAMBO| and the others 💗

Whole wheat flour, almond powder, sweet malt, coconut oil, egg, pure cocoa powder.
**These are low-sugar cookies made without baking powder**.

Since you're on your way home, it's still a bit early, but please go see the Kawazu cherry blossoms and mimosa flowers and be enveloped in the scent of early spring.

Thank you so much for today.
