This time, I will make Sake Kasu Raisin Rapé with carrots. The word 'rappé' is French for 'grated' and refers to a salad of carrots cut into small pieces, like 'carrot shiri-shiri-shiri' in Japan.

The basic dressing is white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, honey and mustard, but this time the original recipe is made with mellow sake lees raisins.

Very easy!

If you find it troublesome to make your own dressing, you can simply mix the raisins with commercially available French dressing.

まとめ

Creamy sake lees give this mature dish a soft, boozy aroma. The sake lees acts like cream cheese and adds richness to the dressing. Moreover, the more you bite into the sake-soaked raisins, the more they taste like a fruit sauce that envelops the carrots.

Looks good as a snack with a glass of kinky, chilled junmai ginjo sake or a glass of wine. Oh, it would also be delicious in a sandwich with ham or chicken ...! It's so delicious you'll want to eat this all the time.

By the way, maple syrup and sake lees go well together! Just pour maple syrup over the scorched sake lees and enjoy.
