Dewa-kaori from Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture
Toga Village, Chaya Farm's Chaya Buckwheat Flour was used, so I named it Toga Karaage

"Buckwheat Flour and Multi-grain Rice Grilled Rice Cracker"
. I'm patting myself on the back for this recipe, it turned out quite well.
You can easily get rutin, which is abundant in buckwheat flour.You can arrange it infinitely by changing the ingredients you mix in.
This time, I made it quickly using store-bought steamed black beans. It's an Italian-style salad. It also goes well with wine.
A dish that is exactly what its name says.
❶ Mash potatoes that have been boiled or microwaved.
❷ Mix in takana pickles.
❸ Just season with yuzu vinegar.
❹ For the finish, mix spicy cod roe + mayonnaise and use it as a topping.
I recreated this because it was delicious when I ate it at a Kyushu-style izakaya.
Oh, do you drink alcohol?
At the "Delusional Buckwheat Flour Cafe," we also have alcohol available.
It's just a delusion, though...
Togara-style Fried Silver Salmon? That's the delusional pairing.
Nishida Sake Brewery "Denshu Special Junmai Sake" It's not Edo Kiriko, but a red glass from some country I bought at an antique shop in Cairo.
Left: Finland Iittala | Kuusi (Spruce) shot glass
Personally, I like dry sake, but since the balance seems difficult, I think a sake that is moderate and mellow, which can be enjoyed as a drink while bringing out the flavors of the dish's ingredients, would be good.
Aomori's "| Denshu Special Junmai" is something I recommend.
Denshu's Special Junmai has a mellow feel that clings to the tongue, and yet it seems like it would properly bring out the flavors of Japanese-style dishes without ruining them.
I think it also matches because it is moderate with a Sake Meter Value of ±0.
It is a sake that is quite difficult to obtain, though.
I'd love to drink it from an Edo Kiriko glass.
After your drink, if you'd like, please enjoy freshly grilled "Buckwheat and Mixed Grain Rice Grilled Rice Cracker".

Now, for today's dessert.
◇ | Äppelkaka (Apple Cake) made with buckwheat flour
(though apples like Kougyoku or Sun Fuji actually go better)
Pecan nuts are the accent.
The recipe is listed at ↯
It is a well-balanced coffee where the sweetness of the coffee gently lingers in the mouth.
Since then, I have always brewed it using
Tetsu Kasuya's 46 Method.
Of course, this baked treat goes with black coffee!
Pairing with orange wine!
Shoko has performed a real-life pairing with a wine that goes well with Äppelkaka made with buckwheat flour.
A fruity orange wine from the Southern Rhône.
Mas Theo Ginger 2021
A natural wine that is a blend of roughly one-third each of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc.
The color is a deep orange, with aromas of citrus fruits like orange, a hint of apple blossom, a nuance of ginger as the name suggests, and while it has tannins consistent with its tea-like appearance, the astringency is gentle, leaving a juicy and dry impression.
Buckwheat flour seems to go well with orange wine.
The orange wine I paired with chicken marsala had a tea-like nuance, so I tried pairing it with this apple cake and it was surprisingly good.
"Buckwheat flour seems to go well with orange wine" is the suggestion.
Orange wine? What is that?
A deep world of wine I didn't know about!
Wow! I want to drink that! So I immediately went and bought some orange wine.

I'm looking forward to the next pairing with a buckwheat flour dish
(I haven't opened it yet)
a dish using luxurious ingredients once in a while and
alcohol that isn't too expensive to enjoy.
That kind of moment,
please come to the "Delusional Buckwheat Flour Cafe"
